Reduce Demand Charge With LED Lights

You already have enough on your plate with electricity bills. Factor in peak power demand charges, traditional lighting is likely costing you a fortune. Consider LED light retrofit, which can instantly boost energy efficiency, light quality, and savings.

What is Power Demand?

Power demand costs are charges you pay to access power at any time. Demand charges relate to the maximum amount of power used at a certain point in time. For example, your lights could be turned off every day of a month except one. On that day, if your lights were on all the time, you would be charged the maximum power demand. Unlike energy usage, which relates to how much is used in a month, power just has to hit a certain percentage in any instant.

Calculating Power Demand

Total demand charges are defined on a case-by-case basis, depending on the standards of your network operator. In most circumstances, a network will charge you monthly based on the maximum demand your facility reached at any instance in the past 12 months.

Power Demand Inspection

Switching to LED lights at your property can immediately reduce your demand charge. Unfortunately, there is a process with your network provider to decrease your demand charge percentage because they will assume your most recent peak charge will be the standard.

Be sure to notify your network operator well ahead of your LED light installation. LED light bulb usage can also provide maximum cost benefits in addition to reducing your demand charge. To begin the review process, contact your electricity account manager retailer. Providing as many details as possible to your provider is best. Expect to include:

Photos of LED light installation
Quantity details of lighting
Power rating review post-installation
Documentation and receipts of LED lights

It may take a month to complete the process with your network provider, which could also include an onsite inspection of your new lighting.

Everything You Need To Know About LED Retrofit

Retrofitting involves adding something to the facility that was not a part of the original construction. Almost all retrofitting in lighting today are LED installations. By switching from traditional bulbs, you can expect to benefit from improved energy efficiency, light quality, and reduced costs.

Lighting accounts for over 30% of commercial building’s, stadium’s, and arena’s electricity bills. A power demand charge in facilities with events adds to your costs. Switching to LED lights is an excellent long-term solution, saving 30% to 50% of energy efficiency, while cutting electricity and peak demand charge costs significantly in just a couple of years. Let’s take a deeper look at leading benefits post-LED retrofitting:

Energy Costs

We’re sure you know lighting accounts for a large portion of electricity bills, and that’s not always the most costly factor of lighting. Your demand charge can exponentially increase total light expenses. LED retrofitting will cut your electricity bill in half immediately, while your demand charges can also reduce significantly following an application, review, and inspection process.

Quality

Annoyed with flickering, dimly lit bulbs? Receiving repeated complaints regarding your lighting? By switching to LED lights, you aren’t just winning big by saving energy and money. Retrofit LED will create a new and improved vibrance in your property, correcting traditional lighting issues.

Maintenance

The upfront cost of traditional bulbs is the only cheaper aspect of alternative lighting installation. Is replacing bulbs becoming all too common, running up your maintenance bills? LED lights are built to last twice as long as any other source on the market. Even though they are more expensive up front, LED light will save time, stress, and money down the road.
