Expert Minnesota Electricians

Advances in fluorescent lighting technology offer Minnesota businesses the potential for significant savings and improved lighting.  This upgrade will soon be required by law, but it’s the businesses that act now that will receive significant savings, with payback oftentimes well under two years.

Lighting typically accounts for as much as 44% of a monthly energy bill.   By installing energy-efficient lighting and controls, you can reduce energy use by 30% or more!   You can further cut electricity costs by setting up occupancy sensors, timers or dimmers.  Additionally, as the upgraded fixtures emit less heat, you can often expect decreased air conditioning costs.

In addition to energy savings, businesses can also benefit from:

• Less maintenance as they last longer
• Increased employee productivity by reducing eyestrain and glare
• Increased building attractiveness to customers and tenants

Cash in on limited-time discounts and rebates!

Available for existing facilities of any size, Horizon Electric will help you capitalize on Excel Energy’s one-to-one retrofit rebates that offset the cost of installing new, more efficient lighting, including up to 50% off installation and equipment.

Just this month, I completed a retrofit project for a local business upgrading 73 light fixtures to the T8 system.  With the rebate covering over 40% of the cost and the $2,150 per year savings on their electricity bill, their payback period is only 20 months!

Now is the time to act!  This window of opportunity is limited through March 2012, after which the rebate values drop significantly.
