Why now
Old lighting is getting harder to keep
Fluorescent is phased out
California’s AB 2208 ended sales of fluorescent tubes and plug-in CFLs. Quick LED swaps keep the old ballast, and its flicker and failures.
It costs you twice
Old, inefficient fixtures overcharge you on every energy bill, then again in labor, lifts and lamps each time one fails.
People love good light
Tenants, shoppers, guests and boards notice. No dim corners, burned-out lamps or checkerboard of mismatched colors.
What we do
One contractor for the whole energy upgrade
LED lighting & controls
Our core for 18 years, across every commercial and multifamily facility type. Interior, garage, exterior and security lighting, with occupancy sensors and smart controls.
EV charging
Panel studies, design and install for HOAs and commercial lots.
Battery backup
Keeps critical loads running. Financeable through PG&E OBF.
HVAC
Through a trusted partner, managed by us.
How it works
Turnkey, from site walk to savings
Complimentary site assessment
We walk the property and count every fixture.
Clear proposal
Cost, savings and financing on one page.
Clean install
Licensed crews, minimal disruption. We handle all financing and rebate paperwork.
Savings start
Lower bills and fewer service calls from month one.
PG&E customers
$0 upfront.
0% interest.
On-Bill Financing
PG&E funds the project. You repay it on your utility bill, sized so your energy savings exceed the payment: cash-flow positive from month one.
Plus rebates
Where a utility rebate is available, we find it and file it.
We do the paperwork
As a PG&E Trade Pro, we handle the application, approvals and loan documents.
Outside PG&E territory? Most lighting projects pay for themselves in under 4 years, then keep saving for 10+.
