When it comes to rebates and incentives for energy efficiency projects, it takes careful attention and planning to get the most money possible. Planning a project to get the most money involves:

• Optimizing timing - Since rebate programs have a set amount of funds to work with and can quickly run out of money with little notice, timing of your project is critical for eligibility. In addition, when planning a project, installation must be timed correctly to allow for any necessary inspections and pre-approvals.
• Paying attention to bonus programs - Often utilities or states may offer lucrative bonus programs for a very limited time. These programs can be anywhere from 20-50% additional funds but are not always widely publicized.
• Negotiating Rebates - Sometimes the energy efficiency measure you want to install isn't specifically covered by a rebate program. In order to secure rebates for your project, you have to negotiate to determine the best way to classify your project and get the most money.

The whole process is a daunting task for many businesses. BriteSwitch takes care of all these aspects of a project, allowing you to get the most money with the least amount of hassle. BriteSwitch uses a proprietary database of all utility, state and federal incentives to plan projects in order to maximize the rebate potential. Professional management of the entire rebate process ensures you don't miss out on any of the money. The chart below shows an example of how we helped one customer take full advantage of the rebate programs and get an additional $66,100.
