Follow on Google News | Xcel Energy Extends T12 Rebates Until April!You might remember my article about the T12 to T8 rebate bonus that was supposed to end on 12/31/2011--well, change that date to 3/31/2012.
By: Heritage Electric If you still have T12 fluorescent light fixtures, now is the time to replace them because there are rebates available for businesses that still need to make the transition to T8 or T5. There are a couple different ways that I recommend to take advantage of this free money: The obvious (and most expensive) solution is to replace the old light fixtures with new, energy efficient fixtures. If new light fixtures are something that interests you, there’s a lot of rebate money out there for you to do this. The good thing about this new efficient lighting is the fact that the light output is much better, so we would be able to install a smaller number of fixtures than we would be replacing. Now, Xcel Energy doesn’t have prescriptive rebates for this type of lighting upgrade, but that doesn’t mean that rebates aren’t available. Using the custom efficiency program that Franklin Energy and Xcel Energy developed, I can usually get a larger rebate than their prescriptive program will provide. Heritage Electric and I have done several of these reconfigurations (finding fixtures to remove), and had enormous success both with upfront costs, future energy savings, and of course—satisfied customers. The other solution is my favorite—the lighting retrofit. With an energy efficient lighting retrofit, the old light fixture does not need to be replaced. Instead we remove the old, inefficient ballasts and lamps (bulbs), and replace them with the new electronic ballasts and more efficient lamps. The efficient lighting retrofit is the most popular type of lighting upgrade because it’s the most cost-effective solution. Why would you replace the entire fixture if there is absolutely no reason to trash a still-functional light fixture? Here's the list of the rebate amounts that Xcel Energy is offering to qualifying businesses: http://www.heselectric.com/ My name is Matt Versteeg, and I am the lighting efficiency consultant at Heritage Electric, an electrical repair comany in Denver.
