Tecogen

Tecogen natural-gas-fueled, engine-driven Combined Heat and Power (CHP) products are bridges to a sustainable energy future, lowering cost.

Tecogen is a next-generation manufacturer of natural-gas-fueled, engine-driven, combined heat and power (CHP) products that aim to reduce energy costs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and alleviate congestion on the national power grid. Tecogen’s ultra-efficient products include cogeneration modules, which provide electricity and heat, and chillers, which provide air-conditioning and optional free hot water. Tecogen’s products supply electrical power or mechanical power for cooling, as well as free engine heat that gets recovered and purposefully used at customer facilities. Broadly speaking, they are all considered Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems. Tecogen’s design team focuses on the development of standardized, modular, small-scale products, with a limited number of product configurations and a high degree of factory pre-packaging, so that quick and successful application in a wide variety of customer facilities can be achieved, simplifying field installation and avoiding costly custom design. Tecogen’s installed base of more than 2,000 units in the field is supported by a unique and established national network of factory engineering and field sales and service personnel. Multiple service centers are located in California, the Midwest, and the Northeast. Tecogen’s service organization is a distinctive competency, with personnel specifically trained and focused on supporting Tecogen’s gas engine-driven systems alone. Tecogen takes great pride in its exceptional care of equipment and customers, well beyond the date of sale. Environmental concerns, economic viability, policy initiatives, and social responsibility are all factors driving the need for increased use of reliable, clean, and efficient on-site cogeneration systems with integral heat recovery. Tecogen has been helping customers integrate distributed energy resources into their facilities for over 25 years. Tecogen shares its customers’ pioneering passion for cleaner and more affordable energy.
