TIME TO ACT:
Save 20% or more on HVAC. It’s important now more than ever for a sustainable future!
Optimizing PTAC units with a “smart” device is a fast, easy, and cost-effective way to achieve Commercial HVAC Energy Savings. A Packaged Terminal Air Conditioner is a type of self-contained heating and air conditioning system commonly found in: Hotels, Motels, Senior Housing Facilities, Hospitals, Condominiums, Apartment Buildings, and Add-on Rooms & Sunrooms.
Business owners and homeowners face increasing challenges with energy costs to save energy and money in South Carolina. PTAC Energy Saver offers an Adaptive Climate Controller (ACC). It is a proven HVAC energy saving devicethat quickly installs on PTAC units. There are many companies that claim to produce energy savings, but the ACC device is multi-panted and proven over many years. Plus, it has extensive validation tests by organizations such as:
- ConEdison, Manhattan Plaza New York City
- Environmental Test Laboratory, Ohio
- EME Consulting Engineers (Third Party), Sponsored by NYSERDA, New York
- State University of New York, Oneonta, NY
- Tim Garrison (Third Party Testing)
- McQuay Cooling Tests
- Purdue University Tests (Phoenix)
- ConEdison Tests by ERS
Typically, when an HVAC system turns off, shortly after, the blower fan motor turns off. The ACC reprograms the blower fan not to shut off but to throttle back the rpm airflow to an exceptionally low speed, quiescent level airflow or “idle speed”. This allows for a gentle but continuous air movement into the building that helps keep equilibrium of climate conditions in the occupied space and saved energy.

Dominion Energy small business program now includes HVAC incentives
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WCIV) — Dominion Energy says with its expanded Small Business Energy Solutions Program, small business and nonprofit customers are eligible for some incentives when making energy efficiency improvements to their existing systems.
Financial incentives cover 90% (up to $6,000) of the cost of energy efficiency improvements to most HVAC, lighting and refrigeration projects with a potentially fast return on investment, the company said.
“We are always looking for cost-effective ways for our customers to improve their energy usage and lower their bills,” said Annika Goodson, program manager, in a statement.
“We work directly with each customer to identify opportunities for energy savings. Considering a customer’s heating and air conditioning can account for a significant part of their energy consumption each month, including HVAC system improvements will be a big benefit for our small business and nonprofit customers," Goodson said.
The program originally focused on lighting and refrigeration upgrades, but now includes incentives for advanced heating and cooling system tune-ups, smart thermostats, duct sealing and HVAC controls.
