Please note that NHEC recommends that you get a qualified heating contractor to visit your business to determine what size system would work best for your situation and estimate the cost of installation. Calculate my savings If you are planning to build a new facility, undertaking major renovations of an existing facility, or replacing failed equipment such as motors and HVAC equipment, the New Equipment and Construction Program offers prescriptive and custom incentives for qualified measures that will help you improve the efficiency, comfort and value of your facility. Weatherization is often the first step! Sealing cracks and leaks is the best way to gain efficiency in your facility. Financial incentives of up to 35% of the installed cost of air sealing and insulation are available to NHEC members. Find out if your eligible – complete the Commercial Project Form today!
