Energy Efficiency
Services
There are many changes that are happening in the electrical
industry today. With the impact of energy usage on the
environment at the highest levels in history, major
changes are coming to our industry. These changes are
being driven by new technologies that are revolutionizing
the way electrical service is created and distributed. J.M.
Mullen Electric is proud to say that we are staying ahead
of the curve in our industry.
Residential Customers:
Whether you would like to completely change the way you
gather electricity, or would like to simply use less, we
can help to make that goal a reality. Something as simple
as changing incandescent light fixtures out to fluorescent
fixtures can end up saving you hundreds of dollars each
year in electric bills. Another option may be to place the
lighting in each room on a motion sensor to automatically
shut the lights off when you are not there. Give us a call
and speak with our project manager today to have a custom
lighting design drawn up show you how much energy you can
save.
We can also help to significantly diminish your electrical
dependency by something as large, and complication, as
solar panels to generate electricity yourself. We can
educate you on solar-electric augmentation, breaking down
the complication and confusion, showing you the value that
a solar system can have in your home.
On February 17th, 2009, President Obama signed into law
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. This
made a significant impact on the electrical industry,
extending tax credits to individuals and businesses that
choose to reduce their “carbon footprint”. Many tax
incentives were created or extended, and tax credit limits
on certain home improvement projects were lifted. We can
provide you with the resources needed to take advantage of
these incentives, and put you in contact with the people
who can help make these changes happen. Please take a look
at some of the resources at the bottom of this page to see
how you can reduce your impact on the environment,
becoming more ‘Green”.
Commercial Customers:
One of the biggest electrical demands of a commercial
building is interior lighting. In most cases, over 60% of
the amount of electricity used in a commercial building
comes directly from lighting, whereas other electrical
demands such as convenience outlets and air conditioning
often uses less. Changing the way your office or building
uses lighting can significantly reduce the amount of
electricity you use, and therefore reducing the money
spent on electricity.
Custom commercial lighting design is one of the major
disciplines of our company. We have the education and
expertise to design a system that can significantly reduce
the amount of electricity that you may use in your day to
day operations. From motion sensing systems to dual
lighting level applications, we can show you the benefits
of changing the lighting design in your building. Many of
the changes that you may choose to incorporate can end up
paying off the initial cost of the upgrade in only a
couple years. Give us a call to find out how you can
significantly decrease your energy costs by upgrading your
lighting.
There are also numerous tax incentives that are associated
with making alterations of interior lighting in commercial
buildings. Up to $1.80 per square foot can be deducted
from annual taxes by owners and designers of new or
existing commercial buildings make significant alterations
to the energy that they use. Partial deductions are also
available to qualifying buildings. We can help you to
figure out where you can save money on utility costs, so
give us a call today and see what opportunities are
available to your company.
