Slash Your Cooling Bills - 40% to 60%
“My chiller is 25 years old and needs to be replaced. What do you recommend?” asked Mike an operations manager at a large hospital. “I’d suggest an electric chiller” was the response from his engineering consultant.
“But look, my electricity bills are double what they were 5 years ago. When I read the newspaper, I constantly see articles about how power prices are soaring. I don’t want to be at the mercy of the electricity company.” His engineering consultant didn’t have a good response to that.
Then, Mike came across Tecogen at a tradeshow. Powered by a V8 engine, Tecogen’s chiller runs on natural gas which is 1/4th the price of electricity. It also makes free hot water. This means he can turn his boiler off in summer. Cheap natural gas and free hot water means annual savings of $164,500 or more. The project paid for itself in less than 3 years, so his boss was happy too.
Dependable Natural Gas Engine Driven Chillers - 1/4th the Fuel Cost, 2x Efficiency Equals 40% to 60% Savings
Tecogen has sold more than 1,100 chillers to hospitals, ice rinks, and other customers that need extreme reliability. These chillers have run more than 20 million hours. With Tecogen’s 24/7 factory service plan, chiller sites can see uptime of 99.8%.
If you’re looking to slash your utility bills and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, there’s never been a better time to buy Tecochill,
- You’ll save more than $2 million over a chiller’s lifetime.
- Tecogen chillers pay for themselves in 3 to 5 years. It’s hard to find investments with that kind of return. Most solar projects take 8 years or more, even with a tax credit.
- Electricity prices are soaring nationwide. Some places like New York City have seen prices double in the last 5 years.
- Every month you delay is money wasted. Imagine what you could do with an extra $10,000 in budget each month.
- Easy like for like replacement with an electric chiller
- Only 3KW of electrical capacity needed vs 300KW for equivalent electric chiller. If you’re short of power, Tecochill might give you a spare 300KW.
Proven to Avoid Utility Delays
" Upgrading our electrical infrastructure was like opening of can of worms. The utility wasn't responsive and our electrician said we needed to upgrade our switch gear and grounding rods before we could add electric chillers. Tecogen's engine-driven chillers ended up having the lowest operating and installation cost. "
- Office Building Customer replaced 2000 ton absorption chillers with Tecochill chillers
" Instead of waiting and paying the utility to bring power, we started powering the lights with InVerde generators and the cooling with Tecogen chillers. Now we have grid power but run them for the heat and to lower our energy bills. "

How It Works
Our system uses a natural gas-fueled engine to generate chilled water and hot water. It is a form of cogeneration and is the most efficient way to produce chilled water and hot water simultaneously. It provides building owners with a reliable, proven, and cost-effective alternative to conventional electric chillers.
By using cheap natural gas to produce chilled water instead of expensive electricity you can reduce your electrical consumption, peak demand charges and utility bills significantly. At the same time, free “waste” heat is recovered and used to offset fuel that would otherwise have to be burned in the site’s water heaters and boilers. This allows the site’s boilers to not have to work as hard so the site’s gas bill (e.g., for space heating, domestic hot water (DHW), process hot water, pool heating, etc.) is also reduced.
