Since 2009, BGE has authorized Sagamore Mechanical Services Inc. to obtain cash rebates for our clients.
First, we carefully survey your facility for energy saving upgrades for future or existing environmental HVAC systems.
Then, we engineer or design-build innovations and upgrades for HVAC equipment that qualifies for the rebate program:

Sagamore puts together an energy study and submits it to Baltimore Gas and Electric’s energy firm for the rebate amount.
-
We install the recommend upgrades and/or replacement HVAC equipment.

Energy Savings
Air Conditioning systems lose about 5% of their original efficiency for each year of operation.
The good news is that you can recover most of that efficiency through proper maintenance.
A correctly serviced HVAC system will also do a better job of dehumidifying your offices.
The ACCA recommends that Freon levels also be checked every year. A system that is 10% low on Freon will cost you about 20% more to operate!
Things to remember:
Keep filters clean
Get routine maintenance via a Service Contract
Set thermostats at proper set points
Save with multi-year contracts
HVAC operational efficiency saves energy and helps your bottom line:
19.4% savings in lower material cost
17.8% reduction in spare parts inventory
14.5 months average payback (ROI)
You can obtain a 1 to 10% increase in employee productivity when you have a healthy, clean, and comfortable environment!

Coil-Cleaning Savings Example
A typical business may operate its HVAC system for 16 hours per day, 5 days a week (52 weeks each year), for a total 4,160 operating hours per year.
Then, let’s say (before coil-cleaning): the average volume of the system is 1000 CFM, and the pressure drop across the coil is 1.5 inches of water. Post-cleaning, the pressure drop was 1.0 inches.
Based on a very conservative kilowatt-hour charge range of $0.068 to $0.070, the cost to operate the dirty coil at 1.5 inches of water (for the entire year) is $12,483.
Conversely, air flow of a clean coil needs across only 1.0 inches of water, costing $8,429: saving $4,054 yearly.
