Gas Turbine Power For K-12 Schools And Universities

Heat Is Mission-Critical For Safety And The Comfort Of Your Students

A gas turbine or microturbine to heat or power your school just makes good sense. Best of all, the total cost is less than half what you're currently paying for electric. Let's face it - beside taking longer, electric just isn't that efficient - typically running at 30% efficiency, next to natural gas' 85% efficiency.  

MBS Engineering, as natural gas engineering experts, are authorized re-sellers of high-end gas turbines from a variety of world-class vendors. Our aim is to deliver reliable power, and remedy high electric bills costs - tailored to your need and budget.
