BMS Design, Installation, & Sequence Commissioning

On Budget,
As Expected,
No Surprises

Take control of your system with open architecture, 24/7 service, and a proven integration partner.

Access Live 24/7 Service Get Started

Most of what you need to know about a controls integrator, you find out later.

Change orders, cost over-runs, service gaps, and service lock-ins, all standard outcomes for most controls integrations. Why? Because too often a controls partner is a late-project consideration, arriving after expensive design decisions have been made and implemented. At TC, we flip the script.

Our Process to Deliver on Budget as Expected and with No Surprises

Design

Our team designs with the end in mind, taking all your operation's specific needs into account. Our fully integrated systems work right the first time, every time, and are designed so operators in any industry can manage their entire operation with ease.
Build

We have decades of automation experience, managing each project as if we are the owner's representative. We provide full construction schedules to the general contractors and closely monitor progress to an on-time completion.
Optimize

Critical environments need extra attention during the startup and transition phases. When construction is complete, our engineering and technical teams monitor your facility as it comes online, fine-tuning the logic and confirming optimum efficiency.
Support

After the project is completed, our service team is on standby 24/7 to provide guidance and support to ensure that your critical environment is performing as designed.

Common questions from owners who've been through this

We don't have time to deal with the paperwork or gather equipment information.

Most building teams know Massachusetts utility incentive programs exist — they just don't have time to navigate the eligibility requirements, documentation, and approvals. TC Controls handles the evaluation, prepares the required program submissions, coordinates the technical information gathering, and manages the process from approval through commissioning. Your team stays focused on running the building.

We don't even know how to start.

The starting point is simple: a conversation about your building. TC Controls will assess whether your system is a likely candidate for incentive support, walk you through what the process typically looks like, and tell you what we'd need to move forward. No obligation, no paperwork yet — just a clear picture of what's possible.

Even with incentives, this is still a large capital cost.

Incentives reduce the cost of the project — often significantly — but we understand that the remaining investment still has to fit within a budget. The value case for most projects combines incentive dollars, energy savings over time, reduced service costs on aging equipment, and avoided future replacement spend. Together, those factors often make the math work even when the upfront number looks large. You can look at our calculator and/or case studies for more detail on this.

What happens when we need service down the road if you're not available?

We take pride in the reliability of our service, but we also understand you can't just take our word for it. Because of this, we install open, non-proprietary building control systems that don't lock you into one contractor for service, support, or future upgrades. You own the system — and you can choose who services it going forward. For building owners and asset managers thinking long-term, that flexibility is a meaningful part of the value.

Why act now if my current system is still running?

Most owners don't upgrade because the system failed — they upgrade because the system started making their job harder: recurring service calls, comfort complaints that don't go away, energy waste that's hard to justify, and controls that are increasingly difficult to support. The incentive programs available now create a window to fix the problem with utility funding behind you. National Grid utility incentive funding is available for approximately the next two years; once that window closes, the full cost comes out of pocket.
