Common Questions

Got Questions?

We get it — "free" sounds too good to be true. Here are the most common questions Maryland business owners ask us.

See All FAQs
Is it really free? What's the catch?
There is no catch. The EmPOWER Maryland program is funded by a small surcharge on every Maryland electric bill — meaning the program is already paid for. Businesses like yours are entitled to these benefits. Maryland Smart Energy is an authorized service provider that performs the work and handles the rebate paperwork on your behalf. Your cost is $0 after rebates.
Who qualifies for the $0 HVAC tune-up?
Most Maryland commercial businesses qualify. Your building must have an active commercial electric account with BGE, Pepco, Delmarva Power, or SMECO. Equipment must generally be at least 2 years old and in working condition. There are no minimum or maximum square footage requirements for the HVAC tune-up program.
How long does the HVAC tune-up take?
A typical commercial HVAC tune-up takes 2–4 hours per unit, depending on the type and condition of the equipment. We schedule at times convenient for your business and work around your operations. Most businesses are able to stay open during the service.
Which utilities do you work with?
We are authorized to perform work under all four major Maryland utility programs: BGE (Baltimore Gas & Electric), Pepco, Delmarva Power, and SMECO (Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative). If your business has an electric account with any of these utilities, you likely qualify.
Do I need to handle the utility paperwork?
No. Maryland Smart Energy handles all utility rebate applications, documentation, and submissions on your behalf. You simply schedule the appointment and let our team do the rest. We have managed hundreds of utility applications and know the process inside and out.
