THE LFG SPLIT UTILITY PANEL

New York Split the Bill. We Built the Panel That Splits the Power.

New York City law requires landlords to pay for heat while tenants are responsible for AC. In an all-electric building, both run through one heat pump—so the bill comes with no way to tell them apart. The Split Utility Panel separates it automatically, at the unit.

Landlord Heat. Tenant Cooling. One Meter.

In New York City, the landlord is responsible for heat from October 1 to May 31, while tenants pay to run their own cooling. For decades those were separate systems—a boiler for heat, a window unit for cooling. But for new construction, that's over.

New buildings must go all-electric—Local Law 154 and the NYS All-Electric Buildings Act are ending gas boilers—so heat and cooling now run through the same heat pump, on the same meter. The electricity doesn't come labeled. There's no built-in way to tell landlord heat from tenant cooling.

Owners are left to either absorb the whole cost, or piece together a workaround like submetering, thermal metering, or seasonal switching—each with its own labor and costly complications.

THE SOLUTION

The Panel Decides Who Pays—Automatically.

The LFG Split Utility Panel is a factory-built, UL 508A listed control panel that separates landlord-paid heat from tenant-paid cooling at the unit. Heat season, power routes to the landlord's meter. Cooling season, to the tenant's. Spec it in at design and it's solved on day one—bolt it on later and you're paying for a retrofit. Set at install. Automatic every season after.

Why It Holds Up

UL 508A Listed Factory-built and certified, not a field-improvised fix.

Lower Installed Cost Undercuts submetering on price, and cuts field labor and install time on site.

No Ongoing Metering Bills Set once at install. No monthly per-unit metering, reading, or billing admin.

Standardized One panel, every unit, every project across the portfolio.

Tenant Control Tenants shut off heat they're not using. Less waste.

Auto Switchover Seasonal routing is automatic. No staff moving power.

CASE STUDY

Built for New York. Proven at Scale.

The Split Utility Panel is designed and manufactured entirely in-house for New York's all-electric multifamily market. At Willets Point, we took it from prototype to approval in under a month and scaled production to deliver 800 units across a five-month phased rollout—aligned with the construction schedule. The same panel standardizes across any NY project, unit by unit.

Backed by Power Design

Backed by a billion-dollar, multi-trade contractor with 25+ years of nationwide experience. One team, from submittal to install.
