We assess your lighting and electrical systems and give you a clear picture of where efficiency improvements would deliver the strongest return.
Commercial Lighting & Energy Efficiency Services in Bakersfield, CA & Boise, ID
Energy costs are one of the most controllable line items on a commercial facility’s operating budget — and lighting is typically one of the largest contributors to that cost. For most commercial properties still running older fluorescent, metal halide, or even first-generation LED systems without controls, there’s a meaningful gap between what they’re spending on lighting energy and what they could be spending with a properly designed, modern system.
Bronco Electric provides commercial lighting and energy efficiency services for businesses and facilities across California and Idaho. With lighting assessments, LED upgrades, controls installation, and electrical efficiency improvements, we build a cost-effective approach to sustainability.
We don’t sell energy savings in the abstract. We assess your facility, identify the specific improvements that deliver the strongest return, and install them correctly.
Energy Efficiency Services That Reduce Operating Costs
From a targeted LED retrofit to a full facility energy assessment, we identify and deliver real savings.Commercial energy efficiency improvements cover a range of services depending on the facility type, the age of the existing systems, and the specific opportunities available.
Bronco Electric provides the following lighting and energy efficiency services for commercial properties:
Every engagement starts with an assessment, because efficiency recommendations that aren’t grounded in actual facility data produce unreliable projections and upgrades that underdeliver.
What Managers and Owners Ask About Energy Efficiency
Yes. Lighting fixtures generate heat, and in conditioned commercial spaces, that heat adds to the HVAC system’s cooling load. LED fixtures generate significantly less heat than the fluorescent and metal halide systems they replace, which reduces the demand on air conditioning during warmer months.
The HVAC energy savings from a lighting upgrade are secondary to the direct lighting energy savings, but are real and measurable, particularly in facilities with high cooling loads.
Power factor measures how efficiently a commercial electrical system is using the power it draws from the utility. A low power factor means the facility is drawing more current than its actual load requires. This increases demand charges on the utility bill without producing useful work.
Commercial facilities with large motor loads, older fluorescent ballasts, or certain types of industrial equipment often have poor power factor. Power factor correction — typically through capacitor bank installation — improves efficiency and can meaningfully reduce demand charges for facilities where the condition is significant.
Yes. Major utilities in both California and Idaho offer rebate programs for commercial LED lighting upgrades, and the rebate amounts can offset a meaningful portion of the upfront project cost.
Results vary depending on the fixtures being replaced and the utility’s current program offerings. Rebate eligibility typically requires specific fixture types, minimum wattage reductions, and, in some cases, certified installation.
