KCP&L Lighting Rebate Program Produces Energy Saving and Money Saving Success Stories

KCP&L offers substantial rebates for businesses to reduce their energy bills, and Light Bulbs Etc., Inc. has experience in facilitating the process.

Lenexa, KS (PRWEB) September 19, 2008 -- The Commercial and Industrial Rebate Program available to KCP&L non-residential customers is producing energy-efficient success stories.

With energy costs at a premium, many local Kansas City metro area businesses are investigating methods for reducing energy consumption and taking the steps toward achieving lower electric bills as suggested by the Utility. Light Bulbs, Etc., Inc. in Lenexa, KS has assisted several KCP&L customers in not only identifying and obtaining the proper equipment for replacement but applying for the C&I rebate for its customers as well.

"When a business realizes the true benefit of this rebate program, it makes the decision to upgrade lighting very simple," says Bob Black, owner of Light Bulbs, Etc., Inc. "Businesses not only improve their lighting and reduce their electric bill but KCP&L helps them pay for the upgrades while at the same time taking a step toward being environmentally responsible. It's a winning situation for everyone involved."

Light Bulbs Etc., Inc. can put together proposals for businesses that involve a detailed energy analysis, lighting layouts, and return on investment reports. Additionally, Light Bulbs Etc, Inc. will apply for and secure the rebate amounts offered for the project by KCP&L. Lighting proposals and rebate applications are performed absolutely free of charge and require no commitments. Once a proposal is accepted by the business Light Bulbs Etc., Inc. will supply the materials required for the lighting retrofit and arrange for installation.

Companies who have worked with Light Bulbs, Etc. include Long Motors and Surface Solutions in Lenexa, KS as well as CFM Distributor's and Ace Imagewear of Kansas City, MO. Black states that "Many businesses can cut their lighting electric consumption by as much as 50% just by changing the type of bulb and/or ballast they are currently using. When you consider that KCP&L will pay for as much as half of the materials and installation, it just makes good sense."

As energy costs continue to rise, now may be the opportune time to consider upgrading current lighting technologies to take advantage of rebate opportunities.
