Home Furnishings Retailer
Nationwide HVAC Maintenance Program

CLIENT OBJECTIVES

Increase the life expectancy of existing, aging Lennox roof-top equipment, and reduce overall energy consumption.

VALUE DELIVERED

USM developed a program that brought our client’s aging Lennox HVAC equipment up to optimum operating efficiency, reducing the amount of energy required to run the units on a daily basis.

Through USM’s efforts, the client realized approximately $92,000 in energy savings across 100 locations in California, with over $500,000 available in utility rebate incentives.

SOLUTIONS

USM’s scope of work covered the replacement and upgrading of internal components of the Lennox units. Using third-party technology, we compared energy consumption before the equipment was replaced or upgraded, and after – we were able to provide detailed reporting of the energy and cost savings to the client.

USM identified additional savings for the client by partnering with utility companies and a third-party provider to take advantage of available incentive rebate programs.
