If you have metal halides or T-12 fluorescents, replacing them with high efficiency T-8 fluorescent lights may cut your lighting costs by a third.<\/p>\n

Thurston Energy can do a simple walk-through of your site, see what you have and make recommendations. Currently businesses can upgrade to T-8 Fluorescents \u2013 at 55-70% of the regular cost \u2013 with a Puget Sound Energy rebate. Thurston Energy can also connect you with qualified contractors to make the process as simple as possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter Thurston Energy and PSE\u2019s energy walk-through of our Lacey branch we ran the numbers \u2026their recommendations made sense.\u00a0We\u2019ve already cut our lighting bill by a third. With the PSE lighting rebates the upgrade will pay for itself in less than two years.\u00a0This is a valuable program. Businesses should use Thurston Energy\u2019s commercial services.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n

Tim Dowling, West Coast Bank \u2013 South Puget Sound President<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t delay in taking advantage of PSE\u2019s rebates. Contact Thurston Energy Business Manager Joshua Cummings (360.754.6320 or josh@thurstonenergy.org<\/a>) to schedule a walk-through or for more rebate or energy saving information.<\/p>\n
