Shining a Light on Savings at the Bank

People are always searching for money-saving solutions; what better place to start than the institution built to keep a close watch on those hard-earned dollars?

City Electric Supply Deland, Fla. teamed up with a local contractor and Freedom Electric of Central Florida to explore various LED retrofit options for Mainstreet Community Bank of Florida.

The biggest decision was whether to retrofit the current fixtures or buy new ones. After a few meetings, and pouring over countless pages of ROI calculations, we came to the conclusion that retrofitting the bank’s current fixtures to use LED tubes and lamps instead of replacing them would yield the largest and quickest returns.

Freedom Electric installed more than 280 MaxLite LED PL replacement lamps for their 8-inch recessed cans, 500 Halco LED T8 tubes, and 1,000 new tombstones. They also replaced BR30s and A19s throughout the bank.

The exterior fixtures were converted either to LED or CFL self-ballasted lamps.

This is the biggest in-house design/build retrofit job CES Deland has tackled to date and based on this success have new jobs in the works.

The City of Deland and its community fully support the green initiative and the team at CES Deland is honored to be the local distributor of choice to back the local efforts.
