The YMCA Gateway Region Discovers Better Power Quality

Three YMCA facilities in the Gateway Region of Southwest Illinois installed the Tune Electrical Filter to improve power quality, reduce electrical harmonics, and lower energy costs.

Following installation, performance was measured using weather-normalized analysis (HDD/CDD methodology) to ensure accurate, apples-to-apples comparisons. Results demonstrated consistent and measurable reductions in electricity consumption across all three locations, validating Tune as a scalable energy solution for multi-site organizations.

Rapid Results

5% to 18.9% reduction in electricity usage per billing period
Consistent performance across independent facilities
Verified savings using normalized energy modeling

These results demonstrate repeatable energy savings across varying facility types, load profiles, and seasonal conditions.

Beyond kWh Savings

In addition to reducing electricity consumption, the Tune Electrical Filter delivered operational and infrastructure benefits:

Improved power quality across facility HVAC, fitness equipment, pools, and lighting
Reduced harmonic stress on critical electrical systems
Lower peak demand
Sustainable — Reduced carbon footprint
No operational disruption during installation
Passive technology with no required maintenance
10-year warranty

Scaling the Impact

The YMCA operates approximately 2,500 locations nationwide. Based on validated performance, modeling shows significant enterprise-wide potential:

These projections are based on an estimated $150,000 annual electricity spend per facility and the validated installation results found in this study.
