Find a sensible first step
Before you invest in an upgrade
Start with your building and utility information so you can compare programs and ask the right questions.
- Look at energy use. Gather recent utility bills and note equipment, lighting or heating you want to improve.
- Request an assessment. Ask Energize Connecticut which business programs and incentives fit your location and utility service.
- Check financing first. If you own commercial property, review Green Bank options before committing to a major project.
- Reduce waste too. Review what your business throws away and use CT DEEP and RecycleCT to make a plan.
