Financial incentives may be available to cover up to 70% of your total project cost.

The MaGrann team will help to develop comprehensive retrofit plans to meet each facility’s specific needs and priorities. Improvements may include the installation of efficient heating and hot water systems and controls, lighting, insulation, appliances and more.

Through energy assessments, integrated design and efficiency consulting, the MaGrann team will provide technical insight and administration throughout the life of the project as well as for a year post install to ensure savings are realized and energy-efficient operations are maintained.

Financial incentives may be available to cover up to 70% of your total project cost, including 0% on-bill financing for five years (10-year term available for NJHFMA projects). Comprehensive energy retrofits can offset project costs necessary to reduce energy usage, providing owners financial flexibility to implement whole-building improvements for the comfort, health and safety of residents and staff.
