Hudson Water Savings Program

Meter Efficiency Valve (MEV)

Reduce water bills by improving meter accuracy—no disruption to your building

Traditional water meters register air pockets, pressure surges, and turbulent flow as billable water. The MEV is a precision-engineered valve installed on a building's main supply line, upstream of the meter, that stabilizes flow and eliminates false readings—so you only pay for water you actually use. Stainless steel, NSF/ANSI 61 certified.

How It Works
  • Stabilizes incoming water flow
  • Reduces turbulence and vortices
  • Manages air pockets in the line
  • Optimizes meter accuracy
Our Process
  • Free engineering assessment
  • Same-day installation
  • Live savings dashboard
  • Ongoing monitoring & support

For property managers & boards

Energy upgrades with rebates represent an exceptional opportunity to reduce operating costs while upgrading aging equipment—often with payback periods of 2-4 years.

  • Reduced capital outlay: Rebates of 30-50% mean less reserve fund impact for major equipment replacements.
  • Ongoing savings: Lower utility bills continue long after payback is achieved, reducing common element fees.
  • Board presentation support: We provide clear ROI documentation for board approval, including before/after projections.
  • Complete project management: From audit through rebate collection, we handle the complexity so you don't have to.

FAQs

SaveON is Ontario's utility incentive program for energy-efficient equipment upgrades in commercial and multi-residential buildings. It provides rebates for VFDs, premium efficiency motors, high-efficiency HVAC equipment, LED lighting, building automation upgrades, and more. Rebates can cover 30-50% of project costs depending on the measure and calculated energy savings. We handle the entire application process including pre-approvals, documentation, and rebate claims.

Smardt oil-free chiller rebates typically range from $75,000 to $150,000 or more depending on chiller capacity and efficiency improvement over the baseline. The combination of ~30% energy savings and substantial rebates makes Smardt chillers one of the highest-ROI equipment upgrades available. We calculate specific rebate potential during the assessment phase based on your building's requirements.

The Meter Efficiency Valve (MEV) is a precision-engineered device installed on a building's main water supply line, upstream of the water meter. Traditional meters register air pockets, pressure surges, and turbulent flow as billable water. The MEV stabilizes flow, reduces turbulence, and manages air pockets so your meter only records actual water consumption. Installation takes under one day with no disruption, and we provide a dashboard so you can see live water savings. The assessment is free.

Yes, we manage the complete rebate application process from start to finish. This includes identifying applicable programs, submitting pre-approval applications, collecting required documentation during installation, completing measurement and verification requirements, and submitting final rebate claims. Our experience with SaveON and other programs ensures you capture all available rebates without the administrative burden.

Pre-approval typically takes 2-4 weeks after submission. Rebate payment after project completion and final documentation usually takes 6-12 weeks. Total timeline from project start to rebate receipt is typically 4-6 months depending on project complexity. We track all deadlines and requirements to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

Energy audit costs depend on building size and complexity. For many buildings, we can provide an initial assessment at no cost to identify major opportunities. Detailed ASHRAE-level audits with engineering analysis are typically $3,000-$13,000 depending on scope—and these costs are often recoverable through rebate programs.
