Commercial and multifamily. Nothing residential.
What a retrofit looks like depends far more on the building than on the equipment. A hotel with three hundred PTAC units and a warehouse with six unit heaters are completely different projects.
Multifamily
Our largest category. Central plant serving buildings that have been improved around it.
View
Hotels & Hospitality
Hundreds of small units running continuously. A large load hiding in plain sight.
View
Office & Mixed-Use
Rooftop packages and chiller plant, usually well past their efficient life.
View
Warehouse & Industrial
Enormous volumes, aging unit heaters, and a heating bill to match.
View
Retail & Restaurants
Strip centers and pad sites running packaged rooftop equipment past its life.

The building sets the project, not the equipment list
Two properties can need the same equipment and run as completely different projects, because access, occupancy and who signs govern the work more than the specification does.
A shore hotel replacing PTAC units works around a seasonal occupancy curve and does the whole property in an off-season window. A dense prewar apartment building replacing central boiler plant works around heating season and around tenants who cannot lose heat, and it usually cannot lose the plant for more than a short cutover.
A warehouse is different again: high bay, stratified air, and a heating load that is mostly about where the heat ends up rather than how much of it there is. The equipment matters, but the building decides the sequence, the schedule and the cost.
Who we work with
Facility managers, property managers, building owners and general contractors. The common thread is someone responsible for equipment that is past its useful life in a building that already exists.
In a leased building it is worth settling early who holds the utility account, because the incentive follows the account holder rather than whoever started the conversation. That is frequently not the same party, and it is much easier to resolve before a project is scoped than after.
For general contractors, our scope sits alongside yours rather than competing with it. We handle the energy model, the incentive application and the utility coordination; installation is carried out by licensed partner contractors.
What we do not work on
Single-family residential, new construction, and anything that is a repair rather than a replacement. These programs fund replacing existing, underperforming equipment in existing buildings.
New construction has no baseline to improve on, so there is nothing for the model to measure and nothing for the utility to fund. We also do not carry out repairs, maintenance contracts or emergency dispatch — if a unit is down today, a service contractor is the right call, not us.
Common questions
Does the building have to be old?
It has to be an existing building with equipment worth replacing. There is no fixed age cutoff, but the wider the gap between current and modern performance, the better the project models.
Do mixed-use buildings qualify?
Yes, where the space being served is commercial or multifamily. The commercial and residential portions are assessed on their own metering and usage.
Do you cover the whole state?
Yes — all 21 New Jersey counties. Which utility runs your incentive matters more to the project than which county you are in.
What do you need to assess a building?
Twelve months of electric bills, twelve months of gas bills, the utility account details, and access to walk the building.

A survey and an energy model tell you the real number. That is a phone call, not a commitment.
