BUSINESS SERVICES Customer Testimonial: IP-controlled thermostats help Dallas-Forth Worth based tax service franchise cut energy costs Bruce Welch, Processing and Technical Support Supervisor of Jackson Hewitt Tax Service-1845, had to find a way to monitor and control energy usage in the franchise's 12 storefront tax offices. With offices scattered over a 60-mile diameter across three counties in the Dallas-Forth Worth-area, Welch went looking for a way to monitor and control energy usage from a central location. A web search pointed Welch to Proliphix, and its Internet controllable thermostat immediately captured his attention. Welch says, “The Proliphix product was the only viable IP-controllable device [available]. It was not only the lowest-priced option, but the elegance of Proliphix's server-based access which allows all of the company's devices to be monitored from one Web page – anywhere in the world – was a huge plus!” And that's not all: Welch says Proliphix's technical support and customer service exceeded his expectations throughout the sales process, and the ease with which he has been able to incorporate this new technology was impressive. The fact that he can upgrade thermostat software at all offices from one location is a big time saver for Welch, and provides the company with a positive return on its investment. And the savings don't end there. Tax preparation is a seasonal business, and during the off-season the company uses some of its offices for training classes and seminars. In the past, the thermostats in these offices would often remain at temperature when the offices were empty, cycling the HVAC system to maintain a comfortable temperature with nobody there. With Proliphix thermostats, Welch can now constantly monitor and control the temperature levels in all 12 offices. Welch says, with a bit of irony, “Our accountant has not had a chance to do a savings comparison, but it is possible that our savings in energy costs this summer will pay for the Proliphix thermostats in just a couple of months.” This, Welch says, would make any business owner smile. Indeed it would. Click here for full document.
