Genesis Heat-Timer ™ – The Rebirth of Energy Savings for Small Building Owners

9/9/2022

The Genesis Heat Timer
For larger apartment and co-op buildings, Heat-Timer’s Platinum Series Boiler Controls have been the industry leading solution to saving energy for a long time.  Among HVAC professionals the phrase “Why don’t you install a Heat-Timer®” is both a general statement and a brand endorsement in discussions of energy efficiency and boiler room upgrades. 
Smaller apartment buildings of 20 units or less with forward thinking managers have also taken advantage of the Platinum series control.  For some, the cost of the world’s most effective heating control especially in colder climates, was justifiable when considering the money saved on utility bills every month, and the ease of remote monitoring and management that a fully internet enabled platinum control brings.

Right Sizing the Platinum Control for Small Buildings
It turns out that a lightweight version of our Platinum Internet Control is a huge win for small building owners.  With smaller up-front costs, return on investment (ROI) is greatly accelerated for small buildings of 20 units or less.
The Heat-Timer Genesis™ has several parts that make this investment a no-brainer for small building owners and managers:

  1. Same cost savings potential as Platinum Series Controls – Our cutting-edge heating control software with its self-learning capabilities is built into the brain of the Genesis Heat-Timer ™ control.  Most small building owners can expect to save up to 30% on their monthly utility bills*.

  2. Perfectly sized for buildings of 20 units or less – The basic Genesis package comes with 3 pre-programmed sensors but can handle up to 5.  Generally, one sensor is deployed for every four apartments.  Along with the separate outdoor temperature sensor (Outdoor Reset) this allows the control to monitor and anticipate the heating needs of various areas of your building. Think rock solid temperature management everywhere in your building, for the least possible energy consumption.

  3. Ease of Installation – The wireless sensors use the very latest long-range technology.  No wires here. Sensors can be located 9 floors above the Genesis, without a need for repeaters.  Add to that a 10+ year battery life on the sensors, and you have a system that is essentially plug and play.

  4. Ease of Management – The Heat-Timer Genesis™ is fully internet and mobile enabled. Communication between managers and the control can occur in multiple ways.
    ​
    • Remote Alarms sent via text message and/or email. Set up thresholds for multiple alarm conditions and get notified before problems happen. 
    • Internet Management Portal – Use any browser to go to our management website to view your entire portfolio of buildings. Drill down to see control settings, alarms, and heating graphs or reports of activity and cycling from the comfort of your couch.
    • Heat-Timer® Mobile App – On the road? Did you get an alarm from a Heat-Timer® control in one of your buildings? Checking things out is a piece of cake by just firing up our app on your phone and drilling into building data. Most parameters impacting boiler operation are modifiable right from our phone app.  Works on iPhone and Android devices, a free download from the app store.

Get Rebates for Boiler and Control Upgrades

8/2/2021

Picture
Everyone has purchased something with an irresistible mail in rebate.  Sometimes that product is even free after the rebate. Yet, the Wall Street Journal has estimated that about 40% of mail-in rebates are not redeemed. Many sources say that the number is well over 50%.  According to the research done by the Wall Street Journal and others, many people forget to mail it in within 30 days of their purchase. Or, they lose the receipt. Others actually receive the rebate check and forget to cash it. These customers are literally leaving money on their kitchen table.

Do not leave money on the table when it comes to upgrading your heating system this summer. Both Consolidated Edison and National Grid are offering rebates to their gas customers who upgrade their boiler controls for their multi-family or commercial building. These utility rebates will pay property owners to purchase an energy saving internet boiler controller with apartment sensors.  Adding an internet boiler controller like the Heat-Timer® Platinum Series Controller will reduce heating costs for years to come while giving you complete visibility into your building/portfolio from anywhere.

Get paid today for saving money tomorrow

Adding a boiler controller with space feedback like the Heat-Timer ® Platinum controller has been shown to reduce heating costs from 15% to 30%. Yet, some property managers procrastinate and don’t lock in those annual savings because those cost savings are tomorrow, while the controller installation costs are today.  Fortunately, both National Grid and Con Ed understand people’s reluctance to spend money today for savings tomorrow, so both are offering substantial rebates for the installation of an internet boiler controller for customers with gas fired boilers. The rebate sweetens the deal because it reduces the payback period, meaning those savings show up faster on the bottom line.

Going Green, doesn’t have to cost you any Green

Con Edison multi-family customers who pay a firm gas rate are paying a “systems benefit charge” each month on their heating gas bill. This charge contributes to the energy efficiency rebate fund for New York State. Those same customers who contribute to the fund are then eligible to receive lucrative incentives towards energy efficiency upgrades such as upgrading their existing Heat-Timer® to become a real-time Energy Management System. The rebate process is simple, prescriptive, and is based solely on the number of units in the multifamily building. For example, a (42) unit apartment building in Manhattan would receive $8,000 from Con Edison towards this capital improvement. A (112) unit building in Westchester receives $18,000.

National Grid also offers these incentives on Heat-Timer® boiler control upgrades. A (35) unit building in Brooklyn was incentivized $4,500 for their upgrade, whereas a (196) unit apartment complex in Queens was granted $13,600. This simple rebate process can often render the building a cost-free upgrade. National Grid offers Heat-Timer® upgrade rebates to both “firm gas customers” as well as those who pay “Temperature Control” rates.
