ComEd Energy Efficiency Program
Cut Your Building's Energy Use,
With ComEd Covering a Big Share
Lighting, controls, and HVAC upgrades are the fastest way for an Illinois business to lower its energy bill. ComEd funds a large portion of the cost. We handle the audit, the paperwork, and the install, and we apply the incentive to your price.
Why we start here
Lowering your energy use is the fastest way to cut the bill. Efficiency upgrades turn around in days to weeks, the incentive arrives quickly, and your building ends up needing less power for everything that comes after.

How It Works
We Handle the Whole Project
We Audit Your Building
We review 12 months of bills and walk your lighting and HVAC to identify every measure that qualifies for a ComEd incentive.
We Handle the Application
We submit the ComEd Energy Efficiency Program paperwork on your behalf and coordinate the pre-approval before any work begins.
Incentives Lower Your Cost
The ComEd incentive is netted into your project cost, so you see a smaller out-of-pocket number from the start. We track it through payment.
Common Questions
What is the ComEd Energy Efficiency Program for businesses?
It is a ComEd program that funds a large share of qualifying efficiency upgrades for non-residential customers, including lighting, lighting controls, HVAC, motors, and refrigeration. The incentive flows through the contractor and is applied to your project.
Does my business qualify?
If you are a non-residential ComEd customer in northern Illinois, you likely qualify. Small businesses with peak demand under 500 kW over the past 12 months currently qualify for the largest bonus incentives.
How much can a small business save?
Small business customers can currently receive up to 30% in additional incentives, capped around $20,000 per electric account, or up to $30,000 if the final application is submitted by April 30, 2026. Additional community and Made-in-Illinois bonuses can stack the total higher. Final amounts are confirmed per project.
Why work with Renovate Right 365 instead of going to ComEd directly?
We handle the audit, the application, the pre-approval, and the install as one project, and we net the incentive into your price. We also look at the whole building, so you know which upgrades pay back first.
