Unitil

“The Town of Plaistow is excited to upgrade our public safety complex with a new look and feel while also cutting costs. It is important to us that we provide our first responders with the tools and environment to run their department smoothly and to ensure tax dollars are spent efficiently. We’re grateful for our continued partnership with Unitil and the opportunity to retrofit the fire and police departments with LED lighting.”

“The positive feedback from our faculty and students has been astounding on campus and the lighting at the Activity Center is unbelievable. We couldn’t have done it without Unitil’s help.”

“The goal this project is to build market transformation. The key to making this work is the close partnership between Rees-Larkin Development, the City of Fitchburg, Unitil, ICF and the National Park Service, who oversees the historic preservation. In addition, because we were provided with money for energy efficiency design and pre-work, which isn’t usually done, it allowed us to work to the highest energy efficiency standard in the industry—qualifying for the Passive House Certification.”

“A project like this really pushes us to work outside our usual construction practices. The standards are very exacting and by having a great team it allows us to find creative solutions that not only meets the energy efficiency standards but maintain the historic character of the buildings. It will be the tenants who will benefit because energy efficiency buildings have lower utility cost and are more comfortable to live in.”

“This is a wonderful initiative. It improves the students’ learning environment while using less energy. We were also able to take advantage of energy efficiency rebates for heating and cooling improvements in 2015, so we are big fans of the program.”

“We are thrilled about our recent collaboration with Unitil. Our dedicated volunteers who keep the church afloat no longer have to worry about an inconsistent boiler. By converting to gas, we are burning cleaner fuel while saving money. It was well worth the investment; we really lucked out.”

“We were wearing hats and fingerless gloves and using space heaters. It was incredibly cold in here. The minute they finished the work it sounded different and it certainly felt different. This winter we’re really going to see a considerable difference.”

“In addition to using less energy, the maintenance will be easier and the ceiling fans will make a huge difference in the comfort of residents.”

“We enjoyed collaborating with Unitil on this project. As one of the largest branded dairy operators in the United States, we strive to show other organizations that maximizing efficiency is attainable. The upgrade was well worth the investment; it will save us money in the long run and will reduce our overall annual energy consumption.”

“Wentworth Home made the crucial decision to switch to a new natural gas system after years of escalating and unstable heating oil costs. As a small, nonprofit assisted living home, the significant savings and stability of heating our 127-year-old home with natural gas made perfect sense. Working with the reliable team at Unitil during this transition was incredibly smooth and a benefit that will impact our current and future residents and staff.”

“We enjoyed collaborating with Unitil and making this investment. By installing four high‐efficiency boilers, the Dover High School community can trust that the system will operate consistently and keep the school warm throughout the harsh winter months. We are confident that our purchase will help to avoid school cancelations and delays should the heating system experience a malfunction.”

“This rebate will save the town of Hampton taxpayers money in annual energy consumption costs that will compound over many years. It also serves as an incentive to continue to look for ways to implement energy efficiency.”

“The whole project went great. Even though the building is only ten years old, the initial planning and design pre-dated the availability of many cost-effective LED light fixtures that are so common today. With upgraded lighting and appliances, residents are saving on their electric bills and enjoying an improved living environment.”

“The project allows Seabrook to use electricity more efficiently in a time of escalating costs, saving the taxpayers a significant amount of money and reducing our carbon footprint. This was a terrific project that was made economically viable, in part, by the incentive program offered by Unitil.”

“Prior to this installation, we had two banks of fluorescent lights and 50% of them were burned out so we were trying to operate in darkness. This has made a huge difference, and it’s also made a huge difference to our patrons because now it’s easier to browse the collections. We can see things better. It’s more inviting and it’s going to save us money, so it’s a win-win.”

“This house doesn’t run by itself. There are a lot of people doing a lot of things here every day. The Unitil team solved every challenge presented to them, and we are thrilled with the cleaner, more reliable energy and cost savings we gain as a result of this conversion.”

“These projects probably wouldn’t happen without utility support,”

“What amazes me is the lower run time we’re seeing on our compressors. Before REALice, our three compressors were running an average of 19 hours a day each. They’re now running almost half as often.”

“This project not only is good for the environment by saving over 113,000 kWh of electricity annually but makes for a brighter and more comfortable workspace for our tenants.”

“This type of facility improvement project is an investment in our future and a morale booster for our employees. The team at Unitil worked seamlessly to ensure our business could leverage the incentives. We now have an expanded operation with an improved working environment and lower operating costs.”

“There’s been an immediate awareness in terms of comfort... Certainly working with the NHSaves program was a great process. That made it possible for us to be able to do the project.”

“The project worked out great. Even though some of the lighting had been replaced about 10 years ago, the technology of these new fixtures has come along way. It is NSF-approved lighting, which is an independent certification standard, that not only saves energy, but makes for a much-improved work environment throughout all the departments in the plant.”

“Converting these lights has many benefits for the City of Concord and we are happy to have this project come to fruition. This project supports our renewable energy and emissions reduction goals while also providing a return on investment for many years to come.”

“We strive to give our patrons a wonderful experience, which also includes compelling pieces of art, but an exceptional facility too. Not only we will be using less energy, which is great for the environment, but these improvements will vastly improve the comfort for our patrons and employees. This project was a major undertaking that will pay dividends for years to come.”

“As New Hampshire’s only electric go‐kart racing facility, charging the karts contributes significantly to our electricity bill so we were looking for any way to reduce our usage. We are grateful for the partnership with Unitil and the opportunity to upgrade to LED lighting throughout our facility. The savings were essential after the reduction of our earning potential during the COVID‐19 pandemic.”
