New “Customer-First Pricing” and “Rapid Contracting” make it easier than ever to deploy the industry’s leading EMS platform.

AUSTIN, Texas, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fractal EMS, the market leader in front-of-the-meter solar, BESS, and data center EMS and SCADA, today announced two major customer-focused improvements: meaningfully reduced pricing across its product portfolio and a streamlined contracting process designed to shorten the path from award to notice-to-proceed. Together, the changes are intended to lower the total cost and complexity of deploying projects at a moment when developers, IPPs, and utilities are racing to bring gigawatts of new capacity online.

What’s Changing for Customers
1) Lower Pricing: Fractal EMS has reduced pricing by up to 25%, with additional volume-based discounts for portfolio customers. Through a strategic combination of supply chain optimization and breakthroughs in control architecture, Fractal EMS has unlocked efficiencies that position Fractal as the market’s price leader. These technical and operational advancements enable Fractal to deliver a premium, high-performance platform at the industry’s most competitive price point, maximizing profitability for our partners without compromising on quality or security.

2) Streamlined Contracting: The new contract is less than 50% in length. Working directly with customer legal and procurement teams, Fractal has consolidated its agreement, scope of work, and warranty terms into a single, plain-language package. The combined effect is straightforward: less time spent in red lines and procurement cycles, more time spent commissioning megawatts.

“Our customers told us two things very clearly: bring the price down and make it easier to do business with you. So, we did both. We rebuilt our pricing from the ground up, and we tore up the old contracts in favor of something a customer can read in an afternoon. The goal is simple – make Fractal the lowest-friction way to put a high-performance, U.S.-made EMS on a project.” – Daniel Crotzer, CEO, Fractal EMS

3) New “A La Carte” Flexible Scope: While remaining the only provider capable of delivering full, turnkey vertical controls, Fractal EMS is introducing a flexible, A La Carte approach. Partners can now select a core EMS offering or customize the scope by choosing from: networking, BMS, SCADA, PPC/MPC, cybersecurity, analytics, and monitoring. This modularity ensures that Fractal EMS can integrate seamlessly into any project configuration and be the best partner for OEMs and EPC providers.

4) Global Partnerships: Fractal EMS continues to expand its global footprint, having successfully deployed 15+ GW of advanced control solutions across Europe, South America, Australia, Canada, and the United States. We are actively seeking to forge lasting, high-impact partnerships with utilities, developers/IPPs, suppliers, and EPCs who require bankable performance and seamless integration. At the core of every collaboration is a deep commitment to customer success and long-term reliability, ensuring that our partners’ critical energy assets operate with maximum uptime and security, regardless of geography or grid complexity.

These changes also reinforce Fractal’s open, multi-OEM approach. Because Fractal’s controls work across battery and PCS suppliers, customers can adopt the new pricing, contracting, and scoping framework without changing the rest of their project stack — and without sacrificing cybersecurity, U.S.-made hardware, and investment-grade controls that have made Fractal the choice for utility-scale developers.

Availability
The new pricing and streamlined contracting framework are effective immediately for all new requests and are being offered to existing customers on a project-by-project basis. Customers and prospective customers can request the updated pricing sheet and master agreement template at fractalems.com or by contacting their Fractal account representative.

The article outlines common causes and maintenance factors behind cooling issues in residential systems.

CANTON, Ohio, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Why is your air conditioner running but not cooling your home? HelloNation has published an article that provides the answer, featuring insights from HVAC expert Cory Hoffner of GMC Pros Heating and Cooling, Inc., in Canton, Ohio.

The HelloNation article explains that AC not cooling issues are common during periods of high demand, especially in canton, ohio where Ohio summer humidity puts added strain on systems. Even when an air conditioner is running but not cooling, the problem often starts with basic maintenance concerns that homeowners can identify early.

One of the most frequent causes discussed is a dirty air filter in an AC unit. The article notes that clogged filters restrict airflow, hindering the circulation of cool air throughout the home. This airflow limitation can make it seem like the air conditioner is not running or cooling is a major system failure when it may simply require the routine replacement of the filter.

Thermostat issues ac are another key factor covered in the article. Incorrect settings or weak batteries can prevent the cooling cycle from activating properly. The article describes how thermostat issues ac can allow the fan to run continuously without actually cooling the home, contributing to confusion when diagnosing AC not cooling problems.

The article also highlights low refrigerant symptoms as a more complex issue that requires professional attention. Refrigerant is essential to the cooling process, and when levels drop due to leaks or undercharging, the system cannot effectively remove heat. The article explains that low refrigerant levels often result in reduced cooling performance, even when the system appears to be operating normally.

Airflow restrictions in HVAC systems extend beyond filters, according to the article. Blocked vents, dirty coils, and leaking ductwork can all reduce cooling efficiency. In Canton, Ohio, homes, especially older properties, airflow restrictions and HVAC problems can prevent conditioned air from reaching living spaces, worsening the effects of an air conditioner running but not cooling.

Humidity is another major factor emphasized in the article. Ohio summer humidity can make indoor environments feel warmer than the thermostat reading suggests. The article explains that when systems struggle with moisture removal, homeowners may believe they are dealing with AC cooling issues, even when temperatures are technically lower.

The HelloNation article advises that continued operation of an air conditioner running but not cooling can increase wear on components and lead to higher repair costs. Warning signs such as warm air, unusual noises, or ice buildup indicate that the system should be turned off and inspected. Addressing airflow restrictions, HVAC issues, or low refrigerant symptoms early can help prevent more extensive damage.

Preventive maintenance is presented as a key solution. Regular inspections, timely filter changes, and system cleanings can reduce the likelihood of dirty air filters, AC problems, and thermostat issues. The article notes that consistent upkeep is especially important in Canton, Ohio, where summer humidity puts sustained pressure on cooling systems.

The article concludes that understanding the root causes of AC not cooling situations allows homeowners to take informed action. By identifying simple issues early and seeking professional help when needed, residents can maintain comfort and system efficiency throughout the cooling season.
