How Southeast Michigan Businesses Can Lower Energy Bills with Commercial HVAC Upgrades
Rising energy costs are top of mind for businesses across Southeast Michigan. With HVAC systems consuming nearly 40% of building energy (DOE), the right upgrades can translate into serious savings while improving comfort and reliability.
Common Inefficiencies That Cost Businesses Money
Aging equipment that runs below 80% efficiency
Poorly maintained coils and filters that strain systems
Outdated thermostats or manual controls that waste energy
Inconsistent air distribution leading to hot/cold zones
Proven HVAC Upgrades for Energy Savings
High-Efficiency Boilers & Furnaces
Newer units operate at 90%+ efficiency, reducing fuel waste.
Smart Controls & Building Automation Systems
BAS can reduce HVAC energy use by 10–30% (DOE).
Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)
Adjust motor speeds to demand, saving energy at part-load conditions.
