Use of savings guarantees:
Our guaranteed savings energy management agreements are about
saving measurable quantities of energy. Under this type of
contract, we guarantee that after the energy conservation
measures are installed, energy use will be reduced by a
quantifiable amount. The energy savings that will be achieved
through energy-efficient improvements can be utilize that
savings to pay for the project over time. If savings do not
materialize, Custom Energy Services pays the difference, not
you. In essence, you are able to capture a portion of your
current utility and operational expenses and redirect them into
facility improvements.
Financing options:
Although financing is an integral part of our program, it
does not constitute a profit center for Custom Energy Services.
As an independent services provider, we will work with you to
select a financing arrangement that best meets your needs and we
are completely open to all financing mechanisms available. The
financing arrangements we have been involved with in the past
include capital leases, operating leases, traditional loans, and
tax-exempt municipal leases. We will work to communicate with a
variety of funding sources and competitively bid the financing
to help secure the best and most appropriate financing methods.
We also believe it is important to be mindful of grants, utility
rebates, and other low-cost initiatives that may be blended with
commercial money as necessary. In the end, it is our commitment
to work with you to identify the most appropriate and
value-oriented methodologies of securing the financing necessary
to fulfill your project.
