_ Over the years, we are consistently involved with different aspects of geothermal heating and cooling installations.  As a proponent of the Geothermal industry in the Buffalo, Rochester and Finger Lakes regions of Upstate, NY we are always doing leg work to promote the technology.  We commonly assist architects, engineers, builders, homeowners and students to understand Ground Source Heat Pumps.

 Geothermal HVAC is not new the area, we service systems that were installed  25+ years ago, that utilize the same refrigeration process and possess the same components that are still used today! In 2011, we replaced or upgraded several units that were installed in the early 1980’s as a preventative maintenance measure for customers who wanted increased performance from dual stage compressors and variable speed fans.


Having several engineers on staff who share a passion for renewable energy, we are always eager to push the design envelope.  We are always looking for the next difficult and complex project that we can associate our name with. No job is too small and we can assist in any task from design, consultation and feasibility studies to installation, commissioning and monitoring for ideal system performance. 

Please do not hesitate to contact an ACES-Energy representative to discuss your next project today! 

    Building a new home is typically a stressful situation and homeowners often overlook details that can have a long term effect on the monthly budget.  Building an energy efficient home does not have to be difficult or increase costs.   Alternative Carbon Energy Sytems, Inc. (ACES-Energy) has partnered with MGB Building Inc. to provide customers an affordable solution to those that want to build a new home with green building practices.  Enlisting the help of MJB Building and ACES-Energy in new home construction starts way before the foundation is poured or pounding any nails! We work with our customers and their architect from day one to determine the optimal building solution at an affordable cost. We show our customers how building green can be the same cost as a home without any energy conservation practices installed.  We not only employ green building techniques such as Geothermal Heating & Cooling, Solar Photovoltaic, Solar Hot-Water and unique insulation methods but also in the way the home is orientated and landscaping around the home.     

                Matt Brooks, owner of MJB Building Inc. shares a passion in energy efficient building methods and is in the process of developing a sub-division of 2+acre lots, adjacent to the Erie Canal in Spencerport, NY.   Matt’s extensive experience in the new construction industry and proven track record has made him a perfect match for the ACES-Energy renewable energy team.  Andrew Heiligman, President of ACES-Energy noted “Matt’s ability to work with architects and transform a homeowners vision to a custom built home is priceless. We are excited to work with Matt to provide energy efficient solutions to our customers building a new home”.    

                Thinking of building a new home? ACES-Energy has partnered with several “Green” architects and now with enlisting MJB Builders, proves to be one of the first companies to offer the “Total Package” in the Upstate, NY region.  Please contact us to find out more or to schedule an appointment with our Green Building Team.  

ACES-Energy and EESNY was asked to visit the Ontario Elementary School's Ecology Club on April 14, 2011.  Andrew Heiligman and Ted Kidd put together a one-hour presentation focusing on renewable energy, energy conservation and the simple economics of energy projects.  The session was extremely interactive and proved to be a successful event that is planned to turn into a quarterly event.  Ted, a BPI energy auditor showcased a blower door and put the school's gym to a test.  Also, the duo presented each child with a CFL light bulb to take home and information on energy audits,which are now subsidized through the GJGNY program.
