NE Ohio Businesses Receive Lucrative First Energy Rebates

April 14, 2011 - PRLog -- First Energy just introduced an extremely lucrative lighting rebate incentive, available to businesses in Northeast Ohio who perform a lighting retrofit project, converting their light fixtures to energy efficient lamps and ballasts.

Owners and managers of warehouses, manufacturing facilities and industrial businesses have seen how converting to energy efficient T5 and T8 high bay light fixtures from their old 400 watt hi-bay, metal halide fixtures can save them over 50% in energy costs, and most realize a significant improvement in light levels.

AEP Ohio Power has been extremely successful with a similar program for almost two years.   Finally Cleveland and Akron area businesses can save 50% on their lighting energy costs and obtain an extremely generous First Energy rebate to cover a huge portion of their project cost.

ROI Energy of Hudson, Ohio has promoted energy savings by performing lighting retrofit projects for businesses in and around Ohio for years.  Bob Taussig, president of ROI Energy Solutions has realized tremendous success promoting these cost savings projects.

“We see the fastest paybacks when we retrofit factory and warehouse high bay and low bay HID fixtures to T-5 or T8 energy efficient fixtures. The other area that has a quick payback is when we retrofit (convert) commonly found office 2 x 4’ troffers using T-12 lamps to T-8 lamps and electronic ballasts,” claims Taussig.

Taussig further states: “Smart business owners see the benefit of reducing their energy costs by converting their lighting to energy efficient lighting.  Half the energy, more light, accelerated tax deductions through EPAct and now the icing on the cake is First Energy’s extremely generous lighting incentives, which can pay as much as 80% or more of their project cost”.

Taussig claims that before, businesses typically realized two year paybacks. First Energy’s new lighting rebate will dramatically improve those paybacks to 8-24 months, some paybacks are even shorter!  First Energy will pay as much as 80 cents per watt of reduced energy on lighting projects. “It adds up quick,” says Taussig, “When business owners realize they can improve their bottom line with lower utility bills, get incentive dollars from First Energy, an accelerated tax deduction and a safer, more productive work environment, it becomes a no brainer.  These First Energy rebates won't last long once word gets out. I encourage you to call us today, before it's too late. The incentives are paid out on a first come, first served basis. When they're gone, they're gone!"
