Go Green and Save Money on Energy in your Commercial Space

Compared to the electricity bill of a house, one would expect a business’ energy bill to be significantly higher. While this is true, all too often business owners just deal with the extreme costs of their commercial electric bill, without questioning if money could be saved. Although some changes may seem small, the effect they have on an already large bill can save you a lot of money as a business owner! 

Today, our commercial electricians cover some proven methods to save money on electricity, all while helping save the planet by reducing your carbon footprint! Now that’s what we call a win-win...Remember, call Axiom Power at (727) 687-4452 if you’re ready to implement any of these techniques for your business.  

Now, let’s save some green!  

Turn Off All Equipment When Not in Use 

We’ll start with one of the more obvious ones! Although this may seem small, the number of items in a modern business can really drain electricity if left running 24/7.  

Although many businesses have good habits of turning off lights and computers, double-check the building for any extra items to add to your power down routine. 

Let There Be Light! 

Opening windows and installing skylights can help any large space reduce costs on both air conditioning and lighting. Not only does this give your business an open and friendly vibe, in many cases natural lighting is more even and can cover a greater area (All for free! Thanks, Sun!) 

Schedule an Energy Audit 

Getting a clear picture of your business’ electric cost is important before making any changes. Knowing what to fix and what to improve on makes a huge difference in how well those changes will work! The report should show you where you can improve, and list specific upgrades that will directly improve the efficiency of your building!

Go LED 

Here at Axiom, we’re big fans of LED lighting. It’s extremely cost-effective and extremely long-lasting! One LED bulb can last you nearly 5 years of runtime, versus about 3 months for a normal incandescent bulb. We love LED bulbs so much, we’ve written this article all about them! 

All of this makes these bulbs a great switch for a commercial space, as not only will the cost be much lower on your bill, but you won’t have to switch out lightbulbs nearly as often as traditional bulbs. This is great for commercial spaces with high ceilings or hard-to-reach areas, as well as outdoor lights that may run 24/7. 

Ready to make a game plan? Call Axiom Power today for help making the switch to LED! 

Consider Solar Power 

There is only so much you can do to reduce your usage, but what about changing the energy that your business is using? By switching to solar, your business may be able to significantly offset your electric cost. Although purchasing solar may be a high up-front cost, there are many financial options to get solar installed much cheaper than expected and reduce your bill to a fraction of what it used to be! 

If you’re looking to switch to solar, Axiom Power can help! We highly recommend solar panels and have assisted many business owners with the switch, saving their company massive amounts of money along the way!
