Benefits of Efficiency Lighting

Energy Savings

Energy Solutions of Texas will work with you to create a plan that fits your company’s future. Whether you’re building or retro-fitting, the lighting solutions we provide will pay for themselves with the savings from your utility bill and maintenance costs.

So don’t ask yourself why, ask yourself why not. Remember, you are paying for the new solution whether you perform the project or not.

Over the life of a fixture, the cost of equipment becomes almost irrelevant when compared to routine maintenance and cost of electricity. ESoT works with each customer to deliver this “real value” for every project. And, as always “Conservation Without Compromise”!

Benefits of LED Lighting for Interior and Exterior Applications

Efficient

LED bulbs can last up to 10 times longer than compact fluorescent light bulbs and 10 to 15 times longer than typical incandescent light bulbs. Also, LED lights only use 10% of the electricity of an incandescent light bulb.

Economical

LEDs cost more upfront, but they require less maintenance, do not have to be replaced nearly as often and run much more efficiently. In addition, LED lights put out 20% the amount of heat an incandescent light bulb emits saving money on cooling costs.

Hard-wearing

LED lights are not broken as easily as standard incandescent light bulbs or CFLs. Because LED lights are constructed in a solid enclosure, they are able to withstand more bumping and jarring than traditional light bulbs.

Functional

LED lights require very little power. Because they require such little power they can easily be run off of generators, solar systems or low voltage systems.

Mercury-free

Unlike CFLs, there is no mercury used in the making of LEDs. This makes LEDs safer if they are broken as well as safer for disposal.

The Environment

The adverse effects of current levels of electricity use on the environment are staggering. Recent statistics from the U.S. DOE’s Energy Information Administration reveal that 2.5 billion tons of pollutants, including sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxide (NOx), and carbon dioxide (CO2), are emitted every year as a byproduct of electricity generation by utility companies. Over time, it is believed that emissions have waged profound negative effects on the environment, contributing to the depletion of the ozone layer and increased levels of acid rain and cardiac and respiratory ailments.

Each and every energy efficiency project implemented makes great strides toward offsetting these adverse effects and reducing the ecological footprint. The ESOT proposals that we prepare with their documented energy savings, also recognizes the positive environmental result of replacing outdated lighting technology. This environmental data helps raise awareness of this important (but often overlooked) benefit of an energy efficiency project.

Rebates

One statistic we like to repeat is that our products and solutions pay for themselves in the savings they provide. And while we think there’s no reason any company wouldn’t want to start saving money on energy, at no cost to them, there is a growing list of incentives and rebates that makes the equation even more appealing.
