COMMERCIAL LIGHTING

Why LED?

If your commercial building has fluorescent lights, having Smartwire upgrade your facility to LED with the Dominion Energy rebate is likely the greatest single reduction in operating cost you can make this year. 

Moreover, a growing number of states are banning the use of fluorescent lights due to their energy use and harmful contents - upgrade to LED before replacing another fluorescent light!

No matter the type, size or use of your office or commercial building, you’ll enjoy two remarkable benefits from upgrading to LED with Smartwire

Revitalized Building Economics

  • With energy savings as high as 44% and generous Dominion rebates available while funding lasts, payback is typically 1-3 years depending on facility-specific factors

  • Dramatic savings on lighting maintenance: LED lights last up to 15 times longer than fluorescent lights

Increased asset value while reducing risk and carbon footprint

  • Improve building experience for tenants and attract customers with bright, welcoming environments, and no flickering associated with fluorescent lights

  • Increase safety and productivity, and minimize risk with well lit public and work areas

  • As of 2024, 137 countries and a growing number of US states have banned or agreed to phase out fluorescent lights due to their energy use and toxic contents; don’t waste money replacing another obsolete fluorescent light, invest in LED now and let Smartwire remove fluorescent lights from your building and safely handle their required disposal.

Applications

  • Office

  • Parking Lots & Garages

  • Showrooms

  • Warehouses

  • Multifamily

  • Institutional

  • “A significant amount of energy savings was projected prior to the installation, and we now have power bills for the last three months indicating reduced power consumption of 35%. In fact, the savings have been so significant that a representative of Dominion Virgina Power recently made an unannounced visit to our plant to ensure there wasn’t some problem with the power meters. Once he arrived and saw the new LED lights, he understood the reason for the reduced consumption.”

    Kevin Metheny, Accounting Manager, Pre Con, Inc.

  • “I did not realize how much energy the old style light fixtures wasted. Many of our four lamp overhead fixtures were replaced with two lamp fixtures equipped with reflectors. This alone translated into tremendous savings on our energy bill. The math doesn’t lie. These savings are real and we have seen a noticeable reduction in our power bill. Your crew did an excellent installation job, the work was done professionally and they were respectful of our work schedule. To anyone considering this project, I would say the savings are real, the improved lighting is significant, and Smartwire will get the job done right.”

    Morris Shelton, President, L & M Carpet One

  • “Outstanding company to work with. Recently did a complete replacement of lights in our office building, replacing old fluorescents with new efficient LED lights. A major change in the inside appearance and a huge savings on the electric bill. Smartwire reached out to us as Dominion Power was offering huge rebates to convert. The team at Smartwire handled everything from start to finish and the job was completed in six days with no disruptions to staff at all. Can't say enough great things about the entire staff at Smartwire. If you are looking for an efficient, courteous electrical contractor, look no further Smartwire is all that. You won't be disappointed!”
