We provide business owners with a comprehensive light audit at no charge, while other lighting companies charge into the thousands depending on the size of the property. In the lighting audit, you will be able to see exactly how much of your utility bill is going towards the lighting based on watts per fixture, the hours the lights are on, and the cost per KWH. Then we will show you how much you will save by upgrading to energy efficient lighting. You will also be able to see the return on investment (ROI), and how much of a rebate the utility company will pay you to upgrade.
Importance of an Adequate Energy Audit
Virtually all facilities can benefit from a lighting upgrade and retrofit strategy. Each facility will have a unique solution based on current or desired light levels, physical layout and obstacles, and other operational considerations. Hi-Lite Electric Inc. does a complimentary on-site survey and audit that models the exact parameters and requirements of your facility so that we can confidently recommend the most energy savings solution available. Hi-Lite Electric Inc. manages your lighting retrofit project every step of the way. There are many ways to implement a lighting improvement project with varying degrees of analysis and emphasis on energy efficiency. At Hi-Lite Electric Inc., we believe the most successful way to improve lighting efficiency is through value engineering.
