Application Support

Tecogen will help you get your project done right. Tecogen provides a full range of expert technical application support for all its cogeneration and chiller CHP products, to ensure a successful result for you, the end user. Tecogen can assist you with:

• System sizing

  Tecogen’s experience and practical perspective will help you pick the proper, optimal system size for your project. We will help you find your CHP “sweet spot” by recommending a system big enough to deliver substantial benefits and maximum efficiency, but not so big that it is oversized. It will be appropriately and conservatively matched to your building, based on the true electrical, thermal, and cooling loads. It will deliver the best economic return and overall efficiencies.

• Economic feasibility

  Tecogen will help you evaluate the economics of your CHP project. [You may request a free economic analysis here.] Tecogen offers expert and detailed economic assessments, taking into account true utility rate structures and charges, equipment operating-hours, installation and maintenance costs, and efficiencies. Tecogen’s analyses are realistic, detailed, and objective. Tecogen’s long-term perspective means it must deliver the projected energy savings, because we plan to be here tomorrow to answer to you.

• Environmental assessments

  Tecogen will quantify the substantial environmental benefits that will be delivered by your Tecogen cogeneration or cooling CHP systems. We’ll show you the real Greenhouse Gas (GHG)/ CO2 emissions reductions that will be achieved by your actual project, year after year.

• Air permitting

  Tecogen will help you determine which local air emissions regulations are applicable to your projects. We’ll also fill out the necessary forms for you and provide support to demonstrate ongoing compliance, to make the whole process go smoothly. Tecogen understands the intricacies of local air permitting like no one else.

• Electrical interconnection

  Tecogen will help work with your local electric utility, to make sure your CHP project’s interconnection to the grid goes smoothly. After literally thousands of successful interconnections during the past 25+ years involving hundreds of different electric companies, Tecogen brings a unique perspective and understanding of what it takes. Tecogen’s special certifications, rigorous technical documentation, and deep field experience ensures you get through the process successfully.

• Engineering design

  Tecogen will provide extensive engineering support during the entire design and installation phase of your project. Tecogen helps consulting engineers, owners, and installers with detailed technical installation manuals, sample drawings, application guidelines, and customized equipment selections. Later, Tecogen’s experts provide a free review of your project’s proposed engineering drawings, to give feedback before installation. This ensures that the top-notch Tecogen equipment gets a similarly first-rate customized interface in your building.

• Installation

  Tecogen will connect you with qualified local installation contractors in your area, who can help you get a handle on true installation costs. These contractors (or alternatively, Tecogen, on a “turnkey” basis), will provide you attractive, firm installation quotations. Tecogen will be there to support you and the contractor during construction.

• Incentives

  Tecogen will help you identify and obtain any special incentives and rebates that might be available for your project, from utility, federal, state, or local sources.
