When looking into HVAC-D for Cannabis cultivation, you quickly realize it will be one of the largest portions of your budget. Getting it done right the first time with an efficient HVAC-D system can break your budget if sourced through the traditional construction process. However, new cultivation companies should know that Easy Root’s systems qualify for rebates to help recoup substantial costs, while saving money long term on reduced energy bills.
Recently, one of Easy Root’s customers in the Northeast had a project with the total climate control system being $290K. Through rebates given out by the electrical company they were able to recoup $103K.
Rebates are given out by estimating the amount of electricity that will be saved by utilizing more efficient equipment when compared to standard Rooftop or Dx split systems. After running a detailed model, the utility company’s engineering team found the electrical requirements would be significantly reduced.
Consideration for efficiency should be a vital part of your HVAC-D decision making but ensuring the equipment has a lifetime that will last as long as your business.
