The idea for Advantage Power and Control LLC began in 2013 from feedback of numerous end-user clients. The industry had been dominated by too many large companies that were incapable of responding in a timely fashion to the daily needs of servicing end-user clients. The large companies are only focused on installing the next system and don’t want to recognize the daily needs of existing systems. Too many times, the usage pattern of an existing building changes from one tenant to the next and the existing control system are not setup for the needs of the new tenant. As older mechanical equipment gets replaced, the new equipment needs to be added into the existing control systems. Getting a larger company to arrive (or even answer the phone) within any two week window is almost impossible. As the cost of energy continues to rise, many existing and older buildings are looking to retrofit new building automation systems into their environment.
