In our continued effort to keep our customers and our industry current on trends and important issues affecting us, Mechanical Equipment is sharing Taco’s, recent announcement because it has very real potential savings and benefits for our customers and their customers!
The U.S Department of Energy (DOE) has announced $10 million to support the installation of energy efficiency extended product systems (e.g., combined electric motor, variable speed drive, and pump). The funding has been made available as part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal which included more than $62 billion for the DOE to deliver a more equitable clean energy future for the American people.
What this means for you and your customers is that any Taco commercial pump covered by the DOE rulemaking, which carries a qualifying Variable Load (PEIVL) or HI Energy Rating, such as the Self-Sensing SFI, SCI, SKS, SKV pumps, is eligible to receive a rebate of $25 per horsepower (HP) up to $25,000 directly from the DOE. All pumps installed on or after October 1, 2021 are eligible and the incentive is paid directly to the owner of the mechanical system in which the pumps are installed.
Helping your customers apply for this incentive shows them how you are looking out for their best interests. And, if they don’t have an energy efficiency extended product system, now is the time to invest in one.
Pump Qualifying Criteria:
The $10 million will be available until the money has been distributed, so now’s the time to talk with your past and current customers and let them know of the incentive opportunity. It’s a great way to promote Self-Sensing pump sales, including the Oe package and the new Modulating Pump Controller (MPC), and the energy savings and system benefits they provide.
