Lighting retrofit is a process of replacing components in lighting systems with parts that make it use energy more efficiently. Such an upgrade leads to the reduction of system's energy use. Typically, energy savings are significant enough to not only pay for the new equipment, but even produce a return on the investment
The goal of conserving energy is achieved by reducing energy needs and by using the energy more efficiently. As an example, both 100-watt regular incandescent and 23-watt Energy Star qualified compact fluorescent bulbs (CFL) provide minimum light output of 1,600 lumens. The CFL bulbs produce the same light output, using several times less energy

The Way We Price
We charge by the job on a per-project basis, not hourly - so you save money. In a case when a project requires an additional time to be completed, like it often happens, you won’t be charged extra.
The cost for services is quoted before the job begins. Your agreement price cannot be raised during the effective dates.
