Energy efficiency is a proven way to reduce the cost of doing business. Hundreds of Connecticut businesses have reduced costs through operations and maintenance improvements in their facilities, and you can too. Besides improving your bottom line, you’ll be taking action to determine your energy future.
Improve your facility’s electrical and thermal efficiency through operational changes and repairs rather than capital investments. You'll realize lasting benefits that improve your operation’s overall performance and develop long-term, sustainable energy management strategies.
Financial and technical assistance through the program helps you make smart energy decisions and take advantage of advanced operation and maintenance practices and technology.
Incentives will help get your project completed the right way, the first time. The energy-saving benefits will continue year after year.

Steps to Take Smart Energy Action
Step 1 -
Utility energy experts work with your design professional, contractor or facilities group to identify opportunities for operations and maintenance improvements at your facility. Based on the findings, we review your proposal and help you assure the savings proposed from those changes.
Please contact your utility below to get started:
Step 2 -
Operation and Maintenance Energy efficiency measures may be eligible for incentives to offset a portion of the installed project cost. When appropriate, we may provide training and outreach to help your in-house personnel maintain the energy-efficient improvements over time. Find details of the current incentive structure on your utility’s website.
Step 3 -
Utility representatives provide the general and technical support necessary – as determined by the size and complexity of the project – to prepare an agreement for signature before you implement your O&M measures. This agreement details all energy-efficient measures, estimated energy savings and the proposed incentive amounts.
Step 4 -
After the project is completed and the measures are inspected and verified, you will receive your incentive payment.
Each facility is unique, but examples of common energy-saving O&M measures include:
- Improvements to compressed air systems, such as repairing leaks or installing solenoid valves that automatically shut off air supply to machines when they are not running
- Rewiring of lighting circuits for more efficient control
- Maintenance of the facility’s energy management system including reprogramming and replacing defective sensors, relays and actuators
- Repairs or replacement of defective steam traps

All commercial, industrial or municipal customers of any size.
Customers who need to identify energy inefficiencies and opportunities with their HVAC and industrial production systems may participate.
This program is not intended for normal preventive maintenance and repetitive procedures or to subsidize major equipment purchases.
Eversource and UI customers on a commercial or industrial rate can participate in electric energy efficiency measures. CNG, SCG or Eversource customers on a firm commercial or industrial rate can participate in natural gas energy-saving measures.
Starting the process is easy. Call 877-WISE-USE or click the link to your utility below:
