Premium Efficiency Cooling Program

Hospitality Industry: Hotels and Lodging

According to the California Hotel and Lodging Association, electricity use accounts for 60-70% of the utility costs of a typical hotel. The Premium Efficiency Cooling Program has dedicated half a million dollars to assist hotels and motels in the SDG&E® service area to increase energy efficiency and reduce operating costs. Cash incentives are available for retiring inefficient Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners (PTACs) and Packaged Terminal Heat Pumps (PTHPs) and replacing them with premium efficiency units.

Premium efficiency air conditioners will help prevent breakdowns, enhance the comfort of guests, lower energy use, and most of all, save money over the life of the equipment.* Program incentives of $200 per ton are available for new construction, replacement on burnout, and early retirement units.

To learn more about the Program and to find out if you may be eligible for Program incentives, call 888-369-1608. Funds are limited and are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, so contact the program today to reserve your funds!

*Your savings will vary with occupancy and run-hours. Program ends 12/31/2012 or when funds are no longer available. Must be San Diego Gas & Electric® customer. Restrictions apply — see incentive schedule for details. Replacements of PTHP units with PTAC units are not eligible for rebates. Must provide reasonable access for measurement and verification activities.
