On Budget,
As Expected,
No Surprises

Most building teams know Massachusetts utility incentive programs exist — they just don't have time to navigate the eligibility requirements, documentation, and approvals. TC Controls handles the evaluation, prepares the required program submissions, coordinates the technical information gathering, and manages the process from approval through commissioning. Your team stays focused on running the building.

The starting point is simple: a conversation about your building. TC Controls will assess whether your system is a likely candidate for incentive support, walk you through what the process typically looks like, and tell you what we'd need to move forward. No obligation, no paperwork yet — just a clear picture of what's possible.

Incentives reduce the cost of the project — often significantly — but we understand that the remaining investment still has to fit within a budget. The value case for most projects combines incentive dollars, energy savings over time, reduced service costs on aging equipment, and avoided future replacement spend. Together, those factors often make the math work even when the upfront number looks large. You can look at our calculator and/or case studies for more detail on this.

We take pride in the reliability of our service, but we also understand you can't just take our word for it. Because of this, we install open, non-proprietary building control systems that don't lock you into one contractor for service, support, or future upgrades. You own the system — and you can choose who services it going forward. For building owners and asset managers thinking long-term, that flexibility is a meaningful part of the value.

Most owners don't upgrade because the system failed — they upgrade because the system started making their job harder: recurring service calls, comfort complaints that don't go away, energy waste that's hard to justify, and controls that are increasingly difficult to support. The incentive programs available now create a window to fix the problem with utility funding behind you. National Grid utility incentive funding is available for approximately the next two years; once that window closes, the full cost comes out of pocket.
