North Star Electrical Contractors can help you save money on a monthly basis by reducing your energy costs. Many home owners, companies, and commercial building owners do not realize that they have the ability to drastically reduce their energy costs by implementing new lighting system. As "going green" may be appealing, is it practical and cost efficient? How expensive is it to retrofit a home or commercial building to make it more energy efficient? North Star Electrical Contractors can answer those questions for you today.

Lighting and energy needs vary for homes and buildings depending on the amount of consumption and the current lighting configuration. Customers have found reductions of up to 30% in energy costs by investing in more efficient lighting systems. With fuel costs increasing, reductions in energy costs have become increasingly attractive to individuals. The environmental benefits of retrofitting are equally appealing.

For homes and building owners who are contemplating these types of changes, it is key to compare the upfront costs, future savings, tax benefits, and the long term investment in the property by making changes to the old lighting infrastructure. North Star Electrical Contractors can assist with a preliminary energy audit to give customers a better idea of what needs to be done, what can be done, and the estimated costs associated with moving forward.

North Star Electrical Contractors Lighting Retrofits Include:

Upgrade Lighting Systems: Substituting compact fluorescent lighting for florescent bulbs. CFL bulbs have the ability to last up to ten times longs than conventional bulbs and reduce energy consumption by up to 66% in some cases.

Install Bi-Level Lighting: In public areas such as staircases, hallways, laundry rooms, utility rooms, installing a set up that detects motion can reduce energy consumption by over 50%. This set up will dim or brighten lights when the sensors detect motion. Rather than leaving a light on or never turning the lights off, energy consumption can be managed on a "as needed" basis.

Solar Energy: Using solar panels can greatly reduce energy costs and consumption. This is the ultimate in "going green" as alternative energy sources are clean, efficient, save money, and protect the environment. Call North Star Electrical Contractors today for more information about this service.
