Total Energy Systems
It is a simple concept: when you have a highly efficient building, you have a system that uses the least amount of energy for heating—this includes the ducts and pumps as well as the insulation used. We thoroughly check the efficiency level of each installation we do using a unique system we call "blower door testing." With this test system, we make sure that your new ventilation system is as close to airtight as possible, thereby ensuring a highly efficient system.

VOLTAGE CONDITIONING
In facilities with even moderate activity, there can be as many as over 100,000 Transient Voltage Surges per hour. Since we are talking about pressure, what would you feel like if your blood pressure spiked up from 120/80 to 200/100 over a hundred times a day? It would take more energy for you to function and all of your internal organs would gradually fail from the progressive damage being done. The same thing is happening inside your electrical system. Because of Transient Voltage Surges, your electrical system has to overcome extra resistance to keep the equipment running, which causes an INCREASE in energy usage. The V-Blox Voltage Conditioning Units (VCU’s) completely addresses the Transient problem and provide a conditioned voltage within your electrical system which provides the following benefits listed above.
90-95% of Voltage Problems are generated within your own electrical system caused by your own electrical equipment. Ensure your facility is protected from costly Voltage Problems with the V-Blox Voltage

POWER FACTOR CORRECTION
of water is restricted? It is the same effect if your arteries and veins are clogged in your body, you will need and use more energy to operate, your heart (source of energy) will have to work harder, and eventually it will fail. Your electrical equipment is as dependent on a clean, efficient electrical system for the energy as your internal organs are as dependent on clean and efficient arteries and veins. What we are talking about in the electrical world is the Power Factor or the efficiency of the distribution in your electrical system. A poor Power Factor is like having clogged arteries and veins in your body.
On the graph above, the power factor is the difference between the Voltage and the Current, or how far apart the Current is from the Voltage. Ultimately, you want the Voltage and Current to be almost the same line, hence nearly a 100% efficient distribution system.
The V-Blox Power Factor Correction Units (PFC’s) will ensure your electrical distribution system is delivering nearly 100% efficient power to your electrical equipment which provides the following benefits listed above.
Ensure your electrical distribution system is nearly 100% efficient and start saving today with the V-Blox Power Factor Correction Units!
EFFICIENT LIGHTING
LED Case Lighting – Up to 70% LESS Energy – More Light Output – Longer Life
When looking at lighting, there are TWO specific things to consider: 1. Improve the overall look of the facility
2. Energy Savings
Retrofit Optimization Technology – Up to 50% LESS Energy – More Light Output – Longer Life
We at Total Energy Concepts take both into consideration when moving forward with an energy efficient lighting project. We want to install equipment that will not only enhance the overall look of the facility, but will also use the LEAST amount of energy possible and still produce the same amount, if not more light. Whether it is retrofitting existing fixtures to the latest and greatest technology for both energy savings and overall light produced, or installing new fixtures, Total Energy Concepts will design, engineer, and install the best possible lighting package for your facility’s needs using the most advanced lighting solutions available from LED technology to super fluorescent technology.
Total Energy Concepts is a full service, energy efficient, commercial lighting company and can work with every type of situation from Industrial Manufacturing Companies to Grocery Stores to Restaurants to Residential Homes…as no job is too big or too small.
Also – as a TEC customer, you have access to purchase ALL of your lighting equipment needs through our TEC Direct Program where you can save 10-30% on lighting equipment, whether it's time for a simple re-lamp or a full scale lighting retrofit, the savings is there for you to accept.
Light is essential to every facility in order to operate. TEC takes a serious stance with lighting as you only get one chance to get it right. You will be nothing short of impressed with the results when TEC optimizes the lighting in your facility as part of our energy saving package.
SMARTCOOL TECHNOLOGY
SMARTCOOL BENEFITS
Significantly Reduces Compressor Run Times Without Affecting Temperature
Saves on Average Approximately 15% KWh and up to 10% KW Demand Ensures a More Efficient A/C & Refrigeration System
Air Conditioning is a MAJOR operating expense for every business. The SmartCool product can reduce these costs by saving energy on air conditioning and refrigeration systems without affecting the temperature or humidity of the air conditioned space. Working in conjunction with the existing control systems, the SmartCool product takes over or learns the compressor cycle and determines when and for how long that compressor should run to MAXIMIZE the rate of heat removal (Cooling) by optimizing the compressor cycle. The diagram above illustrates the cycle of a compressor under a conventional control system…shown by the purple dashed line, and the same cycle under the SmartCool control…shown by the green line. You can see the SmartCool Unit dynamically adjusts the length of each operating cycle in order for the compressor to run more often at shorter intervals and at a higher suction pressure where it is most energy efficient. By doing this…the SmartCool product can produce significant compressor run-time savings without affecting the temperature of the cooled space.
Ensure your Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Equipment is operating at its most efficient state and start saving immediately with the SmartCool Product!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Panel, or Electrical System Maintenance is another aspect of every electrical system that is overlooked. If we think back to the water hose analogy….and think of electrical wires in a panel as water hoses…the water would come into the panel, through the breaker, down the wires to the equipment where it is used…and then back to the panel. If the screws were loose at the connections…there would be water leaking all over the place…EXACTLY! The same thing can happen within electrical systems that are not in tip-top shape. Loose screws, or poor conductivity can cause equipment malfunctions, excess energy consumption, and even safety related issues. With every system we install….we ensure that all of the screws are tight and there is good conductivity in each and every panel that we have open to ensure the V-Blox system provides the best results possible after installation.
EndoCube is a simple device that fits over the thermostat probe in a walk-in cooler or freezer. Inside the EndoCube is a material that has been proven by the NSF to mimic the properties of food and beverages. By getting installed over the thermostat probe, the EndoCube provides the existing thermostat with product temperature instead of air temperature, which is a better, much more accurate measurement. This allows the compressor to run slightly longer, but much fewer cycles. These slightly longer cycles create "thermal inertia" as it cools food for a longer period of time (at a more accurate temperature), thereby increasing the efficiency of the unit, and significantly reducing the amount of compressor cycles.
