Presentation by Total Energy Concepts (TEC) – Our current electric is utilizing 68% of our energy efficiently. TEC could make our compressors work more effectively by reducing voltage and amperage (especially in the summer months) with compacitors and/or transient voltage surge suppressors. They offer a 36-month warranty, in which they would buy back the system (minus the actual savings). Estimated savings would run 15% (plus the energy savings). Visit the website at www.totalenergyconcepts.com . Dan will pursue getting referrals to follow up on. Justin will contact the Focus on Energy person to see what rebates we may be eligible for if we make the TEC changes.
