Strategically Upgrading and Replacing

In a few target markets where utility incentives cover a substantial portion of the project expense, Burton can deliver the project at a net cost, often at less than 50% of the entire capital cost of the project. Since 2020, Burton has implemented over $80 million in HVAC replacements across the country.

Our experienced staff will provide expertise for your company’s energy program by:

Building the business case to replace aging HVAC assets based on our unique “comparative NPV” modeling approach.
Developing and executing a client and project-specific implementation process based on your in-house requirements and industry best practices.
Supplementing and transferring energy conservation knowledge to your existing staff.
Developing program systems and tools to enable you to have any desired level of control, visibility, and participation in program delivery.
