Need to prove it first, don't want to switch all at once or would like to test before you commit? No problem, we are sure you will love it. Give us a call to arrange your test.
At one point in time you will need to fix all the fixtures, as bulbs burn and/or lose efficiency. Do partial retrofitting only on a sector where bulbs already need to be replaced. Once you see the results we are sure you and your employees will be willing to switch to LED.
EPACT 179. Ask your accountant, you might qualify.
There may be tax benefits to investing in LED lighting.
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 enacted a unique energy tax deduction known as EPAct 179D, as a reward for commercial building owners and designers of energy efficient facilities, for taking the initiative to build for a healthier and a more environmentally friendly future by reducing energy and total power costs of buildings. The deduction can be up to $1.80 per square foot, depending on the reduction in energy usage compared to the ASHRAE 90.1-2001 standard. The deduction can be taken by commercial building owners, designers and even tenants. This tax deduction applies to new construction or any building that has been modified after January 1, 2006 to qualify as an energy efficient building.
For More Information Pertaining to EPAct 179D Energy Tax consult your accountant.
