Commercial Electrician Guidance Helps Reduce Energy Consumption of Smyrna Business
Energy conservation is a key buzzword in business these days and every commercial building can benefit from the services of an experienced certified commercial Smyrna electrician to help modify their current system to become more energy efficient. Call the Thrasher Electrical team today at 770-217-7527.
Whether the building is an apartment complex that includes heating and air conditioning as part of its tenants’ monthly fees, or an office complex offering a wide variety of energy services to its tenants, the reduction of energy consumption can help reduce operating costs and eliminate the need for too frequent rate increases passed on to the buildings’ occupants.
When a Smyrna, GA building owner asks “How can I reduce my consumption of electricity?”, a commercial electrician can provide numerous suggestions after doing a thorough review of your current systems and operating behaviors. Contact Thrasher Electrical, LLC for an energy audit.
Energy Savings in Lighting
Take a look first at your lighting. Natural lighting has proven to actually help improve employee productivity. Rely more on lighting coming from windows and skylights rather than bright florescent lighting which can actually cause headaches and increased stress levels after constant exposure.
Your Smyrna commercial electrician can show you where to install LED lighting as often as possible as the most energy efficient lighting option, and replace fluorescent and incandescent fixtures. Installing double-pane windows and shades and awnings will reduce the amount of heat and light entering the building and causing air conditioning costs to soar.
Thrasher Commercial Electricians Has Many Ways to Save Electricity
In areas of your Smyrna building not constantly in use such as restrooms and conference rooms, install motion detectors to turn lights on and off as each area is being used. The installation of ceiling fans enabling a higher air conditioning temperature set point is another good way to reduce energy consumption. Turning off any equipment drawing electricity overnight and on weekends and holidays is another move toward saving energy.
Give employees an incentive for turning unused equipment off as needed or shut down the equipment via a timer system to automatically reduce energy use during down times. Equipment that is drawing electricity generates heat, so by shutting down equipment when it is not being used, you will reduce your need to spend money on cooling.
Making a commitment to purchase and install only Energy Star compliant equipment, appliances, water heaters and heat pumps will reflect in reduced energy costs. Take a hard look at your current heating and cooling system to see if an investment in installing an upgrade will offer you substantial energy savings within a short amount of time. Check the insulation surrounding doors and windows to see if you are leaking energy.
The amount of money you spend on revamping your electrical system by making repairs, upgrades and replacements using the services of a certified commercial electrician will more than be repaid in the amount of money you save in energy consumption.
