Why Choose EMC?

Scalability

Without an experienced project management team, scaling energy efficiency projects across hundreds of locations is challenging and inconsistent. Our single-point-of-contact project management and nationwide footprint unify initiatives and ensure all corporate and franchise C-stores meet corporate brand standards.

Energy Cost Avoidance

Tight margins and rising energy rates put pressure on your C-Store operating budgets. By integrating Energy Management Systems (EMS) and high-efficiency lighting solutions, you can quickly lower energy consumption and deliver measurable savings.

Customer Experience

Lighting in fueling areas, truck stops and parking lots play a large role in your customers’ comfort and safety—and that continues inside where higher margin sales happen. Our custom designs and installations create the environment your customers want and the consistency that they expect at all your stores.

EnergyMAXX Process

With hundreds of stores at various stages of their energy efficiency journey, continuous progress requires a proven process like EnergyMAXX^®, which we have used for successful project outcomes spanning 20+ years.

Prioritize

We prioritize site implementation so you can target spend efficiently and secure the quickest return on your investments.

Audit

Thorough audits provide visibility into the current state of corporate and franchisee sites. As part of the audit, we create a database for each site and track every activity, no matter how minor, in which you engage EMC. The result is a constantly up-to-date knowledge of the location.

Design

Customer safety and comfort and brand consistency are just a few necessary considerations when designing the next state of your C-stores. We also want to set you up for future-ready lighting controls and energy system upgrades.

Incentives

We understand the pressure small budgets and tight margins present, which is why we have a dedicated incentives team that will make sure you get the highest possible rebates to lower your upfront investments.

Logistics

You are assigned a dedicated project management team that will coordinate labor and materials as well as other services to support daily business and project needs. Communication and troubleshooting are crucial components of this team’s process.

Installation

Installation is coordinated to minimize any disruption to your business. For convenience stores, we often install lighting overnight to avoid high traffic times.

Service

We service what we install so you can maintain the best possible experience for your customers. Break/fix, 24/7 emergency service, and planned maintenance are among the lighting and electrical services we offer. We've got warranty management covered, and your audit history recorded, so when something happens you won’t be left in the dark.

Our expertise in energy technologies, scalable solutions, and end-to-end project management sets us apart and empowers convenience store leadership to maximize opportunities for efficiency, growth, and lasting success.
