A couple of weeks ago my chiropractor had an SCE representative come into his office.
In commercial buildings built before a certain date, they have a program that will replace all the lamps and ballasts in the building with no cost to the customer, because it saves them money in the end.
2 electricians showed up the next morning, and changed:
(12) 4' fluorescent acrylic lensed wraparounds from T12 to T8
(40') Fluorescent strip uplights mounted in a soffit, T12 to T8
(4) Enclosed A lamp fixtures to CFL
(2) Recessed Round lamps
(4) Exterior Spot lamps
They got all this done in just 1 hour, cleanup included
I know that SoCalEd isn't the only involved in this kind of thing.
What are some of your power companies' programs?
PS, Where can I hire these guys
