Lighting System Upgrade.

New York City’s Local Law 88 (LL88) of 2009 requires buildings over 25,000 square feet to upgrade their building’s lighting systems to meet requirements outlined in the NYC Energy Conservation Code (NYCECC).

Sub-Metering.

LL88 also requires the electrical installation of sub-meters in each commercial/non-residential tenant space larger than 5,000 gross square feet – including residential buildings that have commercial tenants or amenity spaces over 5,000 gross square feet.

Property owners have the option of installing submeters all at once or on an ongoing basis, as long as installations are completed by a licensed Master Electrician or engineer verifying that your property is compliant.

Residential buildings that do not have commercial tenant spaces over 5,000 gross square feet are still required to submit a report demonstrating that the property does not have covered tenant spaces.

Failure to file a submeter installation report will incur a fine of $1,500 and will be assessed annually until the report is filed. If a report is filed but submeters have not been installed in all covered tenant spaces, a fine of $1500 for each covered tenant space.

Energo’s team of professionals are ready to guide you through the process of building compliance with LL88.

What Our Customers Are Saying.

    Anita

    I had been a Petro customer for more than 20 years, but with the cost of everything continuing to rise, including heating oil and the yearly maintenance plan, I decided it was finally time to shop around. After comparing several companies, I chose Energo. Not only did they offer the best pricing I found, but the customer service has been excellent from the very beginning. Everyone I’ve dealt with has been extremely helpful, patient, and willing to explain everything clearly. They consistently followed up after our conversations, which I really appreciated. I gave Petro the opportunity to match Energo’s pricing, but they were unable to do so. After being a customer for more than two decades, switching companies was a big decision, but Energo made the transition very easy. Immediately after I signed up, Energo arranged for a service technician to come to my home, inspect and clean the boiler, and make sure everything was in good working order. That level of attention and service gave me even more confidence that I had made the right decision. So far, I am extremely happy with my decision to switch to Energo. Great pricing, excellent communication, and outstanding customer service. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable heating oil and service company.

    We recently became new customers with Energo for residential heating and oil needs. From the very start It’s been a great experience. The person I’ve worked the most closely with is Effie, and she’s been amazing. The services they provide, the options offered, and the personal care they provide to make sure you are receiving the best possible experience has been very impressive. We were working with a different oil and heating company prior and the difference is extremely striking. This is so much better, so much easier, and so much more pleasant all around. I recommend them without any reservation whatsoever!
