Why Upgrade Your Lighting System?
MONOLITH HOUSING
Modern LED lighting and smart control systems use up to 80% less energy than traditional incandescent or fluorescent fixtures. They last longer, require less maintenance, and provide better illumination for safety and comfort. For commercial properties, efficient lighting can also improve productivity and reduce cooling loads.
By combining your lighting upgrade with an EnerGuide Home or Building Evaluation, you can uncover additional opportunities for rebates and energy savings.
