Questions owners ask
- Why does Centinel pay rent?
- In most leases the tenants keep what an upgrade saves. Centinel measures the savings and pays you a share as rent.
- Who pays for the upgrade?
- You, once. You pay your own HVAC controls contractor directly.
- What does Centinel charge?
- A fixed monthly fee by building size and a one-time hardware charge billed when you go ahead with the first project. The rent on this page is shown after the monthly fee.
- When does the rent start?
- Centinel expects the first check within 3 months for buildings with a ready site team and contractor. After that the rent follows the savings it measures.
- How long is the agreement?
- 10 years, with two optional 5-year extensions. You can cancel at any time.
