Lighting often
accounts for 40 to 70 percent of building energy use. Business
owners want to reduce energy costs by using more efficient
lighting options, but efficient replacement options can cost
considerably more than inefficient ones, and looking for
utility rebates can be time consuming. It can also be
difficult to determine what products are eligible. Puget Sound
Energy’s Commercial CFL Instant Rebate Program can help
commercial customers save time and money.
