Upgrading equipment provides businesses with the opportunity to enhance their operations while improving energy efficiency and lowering their carbon footprints. Popular upgrades include lighting retrofits, HVAC upgrades, replacing appliances, and new insulation. Through the Public Service Company of Oklahoma (POS), business owners within the state have access to rebates that will offset the costs of their upgrades.
