Heating & Cooling/HVAC Programs
For more than a decade, CSG has been at the forefront of the national effort to improve the energy efficiency for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment. We design and implement programs that target both residential and commercial customers including:
- Early retirement and replacement of HVAC equipment
- Third-party quality assurance inspection and verification
- Sizing and installation of new, energy-efficient systems
- Refrigerant charge and airflow diagnosis and adjustment
- HVAC contractor/technician training
- Strategic campaigns based on market research
CSG works with key industry groups to promote efficiency standards for right-sizing equipment, quality installation and ongoing maintenance. We enjoy the broad support of the HVAC marketplace, including manufacturers, dealers, trade associations and contractors. CSG participates in many local and national organizations focused on HVAC efficiency and we are recognized as a:
- Building Performance Institute (BPI) accredited contractor
- North American Technician Excellence (NATE) certified testing center
We use the best technologies and approaches that are appropriate for the climate in a specific region of the country and tailor our programs and services to meet client goals.
Why is Heating & Cooling (HVAC) Important?
Homeowners and business owners alike are concerned about the costs associated with heating and cooling. Reducing the impact on the environment, creating greener, more sustainable lifestyles, and protecting our natural resources have also been identified as drivers that can influence energy decisions.
Energy efficiency programs targeting HVAC systems can help to extend the lifetime of equipment and reduce overall maintenance costs. This is a critical message that CSG has delivered by creating award-winning marketing campaigns, building and training a network of certified technicians, and using our team of applied building science experts.
Facts & Statistics
ENERGY STAR cites that as much 50 percent the energy used in a home can go to heating and cooling and that the U.S. demand for electricity will grow at least 40 percent by 2032. Both utilities and state agencies are seeking effective ways to reduce demand, increase energy efficiency, and invest in clean technologies.
Here are just a few examples of CSG’s measurable success:
- Case study: HEAT Loan Program for 0 percent loans for qualified energy efficiency improvements developed for MassSAVE
- Case study: Worked with Kansas City Power & Light to increase contractor recruitment by 24 percent in the first two months of the new HVAC program
- Case study: Home Energy Efficiency Telephone Survey reaching > 10,000 hard-to-reach consumers for Southern CA Edison
