Fluorescent fixtures cost money twice, once on the power bill and again every time somebody has to relamp them. Springbank Electrical upgrades commercial lighting to high-efficiency LED across Calgary, usually in stages that keep the building open.
The saving people quote on an LED retrofit is the energy number, but the one facilities managers actually notice is the maintenance number. Ballasts stop failing, relamping stops being a monthly task, and light levels stop drifting between one end of the building and the other.
We count and check what is actually installed, including the fixtures nobody has looked at in years.
Retrofit or replace, priced side by side, with the maintenance saving spelled out alongside the energy one.
Staged by area and scheduled around your hours so the site keeps operating.
Light levels checked across the space, and the old fixtures removed and disposed of.
It depends on the fixture. Some housings are worth keeping and take an LED retrofit cleanly, others are old enough that replacement costs little more and lasts far longer. We price both rather than pushing one, because the right answer changes across a single building.
Usually not. Lighting upgrades stage well, so we work area by area and schedule around your hours, including evenings and weekends. Most sites keep trading throughout.
Yes. Not every site is ready for a full retrofit, and keeping existing lighting running is legitimate work. We will tell you honestly when repeated relamping has started costing more than an upgrade would.
Yes. Exterior, flood and parking lighting is often the oldest lighting on a site and the most expensive to service, since it usually needs a lift. It is frequently the first area worth upgrading.
Tell us the site type, rough square footage and what is currently installed. We will come back with a clear quote.
