Efficiency Vermont

Whether you know it or not, those big fat florescent tubes you have in your workshop now will no longer be available in 2012. Here in Vermont, we have quite a progressive program called Efficiency Vermont that helps industry and other smaller users of florescent lighting to replace old fixtures with new updated 4' bulbs. The new ballasts are TINY. According too their calculations, I'll save a ton of electricity and the fixtures will pay for themselves over the next couple of years. A friend with a car repair shop told one of my guys today that his electric bill went down about $100.00 to $125.00 a month after participating in this program ... Not only that, the light is fantastic. It's warmer, brighter, and more even than any florescent lights I have ever experienced. Working with Efficiency Vermont, I will receive a substantial rebate check to help with the installation cost after they come to check on my 53 new fixtures .... This is a great deal and they also have programs for public buildings and homes ... Our firehouse just got all new LED flood lights and will be upgrading their florescent s soon at pretty much zero cost to the taxpayers ...
Out with the old, in with the new ...
