Save Money with a Free Energy Audit

At City Electric Supply, we know how important an energy audit can be, it’s our job to make sure you do, too.

No one likes paying more for something you can get for less, especially when it’s as easy as a system upgrade. If your facility is operating on old lighting technology, you’re potentially losing thousands of dollars annually or even monthly. With an energy audit from CES, you can pinpoint what’s costing you and instead put that money back where it matters most: your business.

The Problem
Perhaps you’ve never thought about upgrading your facility. Or perhaps you have and you’re upgrading for sustainability reasons or because you’re sick of the outrageous operating expense. Regardless of your problem, we have the solution.

The Solution
If we had to guess, you are probably overspending on your energy budget. For businesses with large, 24-hour lit spaces, the upgrade is a painfully obvious choice. In most cases the entire cost of the upgrade pays for itself within three years and many states offer huge rebates to drastically reduce your overall out of pocket expenditure.

Why Should you get an Electricity Audit?
Take for example a project CES Denver Central did at the Aveda Institute, a facility with 45 250-watt metal halide high bay fixtures. Their upgrade saved more than 50,000 kilowatt hours, which translates to over 5,000 in annual energy savings. To sweeten the deal, they also received a rebate check for $6,349 in support of their green choice.

For another example, take a look at the Homewood Suits by Hilton. They have a 117-room hotel with 24/7 lighting in the lobby, hallways, and kitchen areas. Their 2,439 CFL lamps cost entirely too much to keep turned on. After upgrading those fixtures to LED, their lights now use 30% less energy and last five times longer. So, what did 2,439 fixtures actually buy them?

1. A $13,252 annual cost savings on their electric bill
2. A $17,591 rebate.
3. They made a huge impact on the environment!

The electric cost savings alone are substantial, but when you consider upgrades without ballasts, you can also reduce heat and extend the life and efficiency of your HVAC system. And when you consider the average lifespan of LED fixtures, you can cite the decreased man hours in maintaining and replacing lights. Upgrading facility lighting can also increase the efficiency and safety of your staff.

How do I get an Audit?
Call us and we’ll send a representative to your facility to note your current lighting situation. Some of the things we’ll consider include:

1. How many fixtures?
2. What types of fixtures?
3. What are the most efficient options for upgrade?

What will the Audit Tell Me?
Once complete, you will receive a report detailing-

1. The hard cost of the upgrade recommendation for your facility
2. How much energy you’ll save annually
3. Projected cost savings
4. The rebate you qualify for
5. In what time frame your project will pay for itself
