- Do you have the old-style magnetic ballast, large tube fluorescent light fixtures in your home or business? You can recognize them because they have a hum when they are operating. These fixtures can be retrofitted with electronic ballasts and energy efficient lamps and begin saving you money in energy savings. Call Solid Ground Electric to come out and quickly retrofit your old lighting.
- There may be EnergyTrust funds available for help in defraying the cost of retrofitting your building. The program requires that an audit be done ahead of time to evaluate the types of light fixtures and the number. Then an application is filled out and turned into the EnergyTrust and you are told, ahead of time, what funds may be available to you.
- If you check with your power company they can tell you if there are tax credits available for from the State of Oregon and the U.S. Government for upgrades to more energy efficient electrically powered devices, like a new furnace or heat pump.
- There are tax credits and EnergyTrust funds available for people to install solar systems. The savings for commercial installations are especially attractive. The initial cost is invested by the building owner, but the tax credits, EnergyTrust funds and energy savings can often be equal to the initial investment.
