Is natural gas a prudent source of energy for your large commercial or industrial facility? We can help you evaluate a variety of natural gas alternatives such as dual-fuel equipment, gas air conditioning hybrid systems, cogeneration, peak shaving and dehumidification, just to name a few. This service looks at capital costs, energy costs, simple payback, return on investment, net present value, cash flow and life cycle costs. We will present you with a comparison of solutions and suggest options tailored to meet your energy needs.

PGW's Major Accounts group will gladly perform a free energy analysis for customers considering installation or conversion to natural gas. Please contact your Account Manager, if you have one, or call our hotline at (215) 684-6671.

Consult the Energy Analysis Checklist for a list of the information a Major Accounts Manager will need to assess a large energy project. Depending on individual project specifications, we may also wish to visit your facility.
