Lighting is one of the most essential elements in any commercial space — and one of the biggest energy expenses. At SGF Electric, we’ve helped businesses all across the GTA lower their energy bills, improve lighting quality, and reduce maintenance costs by upgrading to LED systems.
What Is a Lighting Retrofit?
A lighting retrofit is the process of replacing your current lighting fixtures with more energy-efficient LED alternatives. It’s not just about swapping bulbs; it’s about improving your lighting infrastructure to be smarter, longer-lasting, and more cost-effective.
Benefits of LED Lighting for Commercial Properties
1. Energy Savings:
LEDs use up to 80% less energy than traditional incandescent or fluorescent lights, leading to noticeable reductions in monthly utility bills.
2. Lower Maintenance:
LED fixtures have a significantly longer lifespan — many last up to 50,000 hours or more. That means fewer bulb changes, reduced labor, and less downtime.
3. Better Light Quality:
LEDs produce cleaner, brighter, and more uniform lighting. This improves visibility in warehouses, offices, and retail stores while also enhancing customer and employee satisfaction.
4. Rebates & Incentives:
In Ontario, there are often government programs and utility rebates that help offset the cost of your lighting upgrade. We help clients apply for and maximize these savings.
5. Environmental Impact:
LED lights are free of toxic materials, reduce your carbon footprint, and are 100% recyclable. Retrofitting supports your business’s sustainability goals.
Is It Time to Retrofit?
If your property still uses fluorescent, halogen, or HID lighting — or if your energy bills are higher than they should be — it’s time to consider a retrofit. This is especially true for:
-
Warehouses and industrial buildings
-
Parking garages and lots
-
Commercial offices and showrooms
-
Retail stores, gyms, schools, and medical offices
