TIME TO ACT: Save 20% or more on HVAC. It’s important now more than ever for a sustainable future!
Optimizing PTAC units with a “smart” device is a fast, easy, and cost-effective way to achieve Residential HVAC Energy Savings. A Packaged Terminal Air Conditioner is a type of self-contained heating and air conditioning system commonly found in: Hotels, Motels, Senior Housing Facilities, Hospitals, Condominiums, Apartment Buildings, and Add-on Rooms & Sunrooms.
Business owners and homeowners face increasing challenges with energy costs to save energy and money in Oklahoma. PTAC Energy Saver offers an Adaptive Climate Controller (ACC). It is a proven HVAC energy saving device that quickly installs on PTAC units. There are many companies that claim to produce energy savings, but the ACC device is multi-panted and proven over many years. Plus, it has extensive validation tests by organizations such as:
- ConEdison, Manhattan Plaza New York City
- Environmental Test Laboratory, Ohio
- EME Consulting Engineers (Third Party), Sponsored by NYSERDA, New York
- State University of New York, Oneonta, NY
- Tim Garrison (Third Party Testing)
- McQuay Cooling Tests
- Purdue University Tests (Phoenix)
- ConEdison Tests by ERS
Typically, when an HVAC system turns off, shortly after, the blower fan motor turns off. The ACC reprograms the blower fan not to shut off but to throttle back the rpm airflow to an exceptionally low speed, quiescent level airflow or “idle speed”. This allows for a gentle but continuous air movement into the building that helps keep equilibrium of climate conditions in the occupied space and saved energy.

9 ways to reduce your Oklahoma electric bills, including several ways to cash in for free
Costs are climbing for just about everything (including energy) as inflation continues to assault the nation's economy.
You probably have been paying the most attention to prices on gasoline and diesel so far, but your home utility bills are getting more expensive, too, as temperatures climb this summer.
There are many ways you can invest in your home to make it more energy efficient, saving on utility bills over time, and we've put together several that range from quick, easy and affordable; to more-dramatic upgrades to your home.
We ranked them in order of up front costs to you, the consumer, though it's important to keep in mind some of the more expensive investments provide the largest savings in the long term.
Take advantage of the free services
You're already paying a monthly utility bill, so you might as well take advantage of the free services many utility providers offer.
In Oklahoma, utility providers like Oklahoma Gas and Electric Co., Public Service Co. of Oklahoma and others offer a variety of services to their customers ranging from free inspections to air conditioning tune-ups to new lightbulbs. Some services are offered to all customers, while others are provided to households that meet certain income requirements (more on all of this in later sections).
Customers also can enroll in programs provided by utilities that incentivize the conservation of energy during peak hours. Both OG&E and PSO offer a variety of options, and information about those programs can be found at each company's website.
Change your light bulbs
One of the cheapest options for improving your home's energy efficiency is to swap out incandescent light bulbs with more energy-efficient, LED replacements.
LED bulbs range in price from $11 for a four-pack of dimmable 60W bulbs to $32 for an eight-pack of dimmable 75W bulbs, depending on the brand and retailer specials. But those bulbs can last up to 25 times longer and use far less power than traditional lightbulbs.
