Should we Retrofit the Lighting in our Building?
- Increased Safety: Retrofitting your building's lights with energy efficient options can improve visibility and reduce the risk of accidents due to dim or inadequate lighting. This will help keep both employees and customers safe in your building.
- Longer Lifespan: Upgrading to LED lighting can significantly extend the life of your light bulbs, meaning less maintenance time for you and your staff and fewer costs associated with replacing bulbs.
- Improved Security: LED lighting uses less energy, so it can help lower the cost of electricity bills while also providing better visibility at night, reducing the risk of crime around your building.
- Lower Environmental Impact: LED lights use up to 90% less energy than older types of lamps, reducing the amount of carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere and helping to promote sustainable practices.
- Aesthetic Appeal: LED lights come in a variety of shapes and sizes, allowing for more customization when it comes to lighting design. This can help improve the look and feel of your building, making it more inviting for customers and employees alike.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a lighting retrofit and how is it different from a full replacement?
A retrofit reuses your existing fixture housings and replaces only the internal components (lamps, ballasts, drivers) with modern LED equivalents. It's typically 30–50% cheaper than full fixture replacement, faster to install, and creates far less ceiling and wall damage in occupied commercial spaces.
How quickly does a commercial LED retrofit pay for itself?
Most Twin Cities commercial retrofits pay back in 18–36 months through energy savings alone, and even faster once Xcel Energy's commercial lighting rebates are applied. We provide a written ROI analysis with every retrofit proposal so you can see exactly when the project goes cash-flow positive.
Do you offer commercial lighting rebates through Xcel or other utilities?
Yes. Norske Electric is familiar with Xcel Energy's One-Stop Efficiency Shop, Minnesota Power, and Connexus commercial lighting rebate programs. We handle the rebate paperwork as part of the project so you capture the full incentive — typically 20–60% of the project cost — without doing the legwork yourself.
Can you retrofit our lighting after hours to avoid disrupting our business?
Absolutely. We schedule the vast majority of commercial retrofits during evenings, weekends, or off-shift hours so your operations, customers, and tenants are never affected. Our crews come prepared to clean up and leave the space spotless before the next business day starts.
