Why Lighting Retrofit

How would a lighting retrofit benefit you? It’s important to have a basic understanding of how you’re billed for energy use. When your business gets an electric bill, you are charged in several different ways. There is an energy use charge, a demand charge, a fuel adjustment charge as well as various other charges. Put simply, when you use less energy, you will be charged less. This is where a lighting retrofit helps. Having a LED lighting retrofit installed in your business means big savings for you company. 

How Much Can I Save With LED Bulbs?

A lighting retrofit for your business gives you a quick return on your investment. According to the Energy Savings Cost Council, energy-efficient lighting upgrades represent the highest return on investment of any single-technology project, with up to a 45 percent ROI!. An LED lighting retrofit could pay for itself in just two years not to mention how much it keeps paying you back over the lifespan of the system by continuing to cut costs on energy and maintenance. According to the energy analysis software tool, Quickscope, each dollar invested in new, clean energy efficiency can increase your company’s asset value by as much as three dollars. You can also enjoy even more cost savings when you take part in a tax incentive or rebate program.

Rebates and Tax Incentives
