HOW LIGHTING UPGRADES CAN BRIGHTEN BUSINESS & BRING IN SAVINGS
Our Business Lighting Program offers financial incentives for businesses who complete energy-efficient lighting upgrades in their buildings. Adam’s Autoglass, an automotive repair shop located in Roblin, upgraded their lighting with our help, resulting in a brighter space, reduced energy use, and monthly energy bill savings.
THE PROJECT
Adam Smith, owner of Adam’s Autoglass, heard about our Business Lighting Program through a friend who just installed new lights at his shop. Adam started his own upgrade in March 2024, and the team at Boyce Electric upgraded his existing T12 fixtures with 56 new LED fixtures. “I absolutely love the new lights,” said Adam. “I needed to brighten my shop, and the new lights definitely do the job!”
THE SAVINGS
With brand new LEDs, Adam’s Autoglass is expected to save 14,400 kWh of electricity every year, which translates to about $480 annually on their energy bills. On top of this, Adam received a $1,370 incentive toward the upgrades, which includes the additional 25% customer bonus we’re offering on lighting projects completed before March 31, 2025.
THE PROCESS
Upgrading your building and increasing energy efficiency in your business is an easy process. Through myEM, business owners can apply on their own or have contractors apply on their behalf.
After reviewing your application, our team will outline the incentive for your proposed upgrades before you commit to the project. This way you have plenty of time to discuss and review your budget.
“The whole process was super simple,” said Adam. “My energy bill is about $40 less every month. Now the shop looks great, and I’m saving energy and money!”
