Modigent expands energy strategy with financing and building intelligence

Modigent is widening its energy business with a new integrated offering that combines technical expertise, analytics and financing for customers facing aging equipment and rising utility costs. The move is designed to help commercial facilities move projects from assessment to execution with less upfront capital strain.

Why it matters: - Commercial building owners are under pressure to cut operating costs while aging equipment and higher utility bills make upgrades harder to delay. - Modigent Energy Solutions is meant to give customers a single path to identify savings, finance improvements and complete projects. - The approach could help organizations modernize critical infrastructure without relying entirely on upfront capital.

What happened: - Modigent announced the expansion of Modigent Energy Solutions, a companywide initiative that connects expertise across the organization. - The initiative is designed to improve facility performance, reduce operating costs and move infrastructure projects forward. - Modigent said the effort builds on Rich Energy Solutions, which joined the company in March 2025. - The new structure gives customers a coordinated process from opportunity identification through economics review, financing and implementation.

The details: - Modigent Energy Solutions can assess energy use, upgrade mechanical systems, improve building controls and monitor performance over time. - Qualifying projects may be financed so customers can pay for improvements over time rather than all at once. - Modigent is also investing in remote monitoring and building automation. - Those tools are intended to help customers and technicians spot issues earlier and make better decisions about ongoing facility performance. - Rich Energy’s team has completed projects in more than 40 states. - The energy practice grew out of a family mechanical business founded in 1918. - The business has focused primarily on energy projects since 2010. - Modigent is headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. - The company operates across the HVAC, plumbing and controls industry. - Modigent’s portfolio includes mechanical service, energy optimization, analytics and intelligent building systems for commercial facilities and complex environments. - Modigent said the company’s model emphasizes local leadership, long-term partnerships and a people-first culture.

Between the lines: - The expansion shows Modigent trying to tie together services that are often sold separately: engineering, controls, data and financing. - That combination can make energy upgrades easier to approve because it reduces both technical risk and budget pressure. - The push into remote monitoring suggests Modigent wants more recurring involvement after the initial project is complete. - Dan Bueschel said customers often know their facilities need attention, but competing capital priorities make action difficult. - David Rich said the team has long helped customers find where buildings lose efficiency and make improvements financially viable.

What's next: - Modigent plans to take more projects from assessment through execution using its national technical teams and Rich Energy experience. - The company will keep expanding its remote monitoring and building automation capabilities. - Dan Bueschel and David Rich discussed the strategy in an interview moderated by Carey Peña, with the interview available through Modigent's announcement. - More information is available at Modigent.
