Commercial HVAC equipment evaluated by Philco Air Control
Start with the equipment Energy performance begins with understanding how the mechanical systems are actually operating—not how they were intended to operate.

Efficiency begins with field experience.

Philco Air Control works on the front line of commercial energy efficiency throughout California.

Our team participates in statewide energy-reduction programs supported by utility companies, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations.

An efficient building requires understanding how equipment, controls, ventilation, schedules, loads, and maintenance practices work together.

An energy audit should identify practical opportunities based on your facility’s real equipment and operating conditions—not a generic list of recommended products.

Opportunities We Evaluate

More than equipment replacement.

Philco examines how equipment operates today and where repairs, commissioning, controls, maintenance, or new technology may improve performance.

01

Variable-frequency drives

Evaluate motors, fans, pumps, loads, and operating schedules.

02

EMS controls

Commission, repair, or install energy-management controls.

03

Economizers

Inspect, repair, or replace outdoor-air economizer systems.

04

Energy-recovery ventilation

Assess energy transfer between exhaust and ventilation air.

05

Variable-refrigerant-flow systems

Evaluate VRF technology for zoning and load diversity.

06

Electric heat-pump systems

Examine electrification and heat-pump opportunities.

07

Quality maintenance

Identify dirty coils, failed controls, airflow problems, and wear.

Onsite Evaluation

The building tells the real story.

Plans and schedules are useful. Field conditions determine how the system is truly performing.

Philco reviews installed equipment, controls, ventilation, maintenance condition, and operating behavior.

The evaluation can reveal opportunities involving commissioning, economizers, motor operation, upgrades, and emerging technologies.

How We Approach an Audit

Observe. Measure. Prioritize.

01 / Review

Understand the facility

Review equipment, building use, schedules, and efficiency goals.

02 / Inspect

Evaluate field conditions

Inspect equipment, controls, ventilation, and maintenance.

03 / Identify

Find viable opportunities

Separate practical improvements from unsuitable options.

04 / Prioritize

Build a path forward

Organize opportunities around impact and feasibility.

A More Efficient California

Less waste. Better operation.

Efficiency should not come at the expense of reliability, ventilation, occupant needs, or correct operation.

Philco combines mechanical, electrical, controls, maintenance, and field experience to reduce unnecessary energy use.

The goal is commercial mechanical equipment operating the way it should.
