Commercial Lighting

Upgrade To Energy Efficient Lighting

Regulations in 2012 will take effect, creating new energy standards for selected linear T5, T8 and T12 lamps. The net result, with few exceptions, is a majority of 4-ft. linear and 2-ft. U-shaped T12, many 8-ft. T12 and T12HO, and some low-color-rendering 4-ft. T8 lamps will be eliminated. This means that by July of 2012 replacement lamps for the majority of installed fluorescent lighting will no longer be available.

As distributors deplete their inventories, owners of buildings containing these obsolete lighting systems have a strong incentive to begin upgrading as soon as possible. APS, SRP and TEP have rebates in place to help business owners with the upgrades.

The sensible solution is a lighting upgrade that addresses both efficiency and lighting quality. While upgrading fixtures, consider the range of advanced lighting control solutions suitable for existing buildings—occupancy sensors. Many older lighting systems, however, would benefit from a comprehensive redesign, which would dramatically expand control options to extend energy savings as well as flexibility.

Let one of our energy experts help you in this transition.

Why Make the Switch?

Some replacement fluorescent lamps and ballasts will no longer be available. As of July 1st, 2010, the Department of Energy (DOE) prohibited the manufacture of T-12 magnetic ballasts solely for replacement purposes. And on July 1st 2012, production of most T12 lamps will be phased out, following new DOE fluorescent lamp regulations.

What’s the Hurry?

There are currently large financial incentives offered through government and local utilities programs that reward those who act now. APS, SRP and TEP have plenty of rebates and incentives for upgrading your lighting fixtures.

What Incentives Are Available for Me?

Rebates and incentives vary by utility and the type of fixtures your are replacing. Please call for more information.

Residential Solar Thermal Systems

Solar water heating systems include storage tanks and solar collectors. There are two types of solar water heating systems: active, which have circulating pumps and controls, and passive, which don’t.

Most solar water heaters require a well-insulated storage tank. Solar storage tanks have an additional outlet and inlet connected to and from the collector. In two-tank systems, the solar water heater preheats water before it enters the conventional water heater. In one-tank systems, the back-up heater is combined with the solar storage in one tank.

We Install Flat-Plate Collectors

Glazed flat-plate collectors are insulated, weatherproofed boxes that contain a dark absorber plate under one or more glass or plastic (polymer) covers. Unglazed flat-plate collectors—typically used for solar pool heating—have a dark absorber plate, made of metal or polymer, without a cover or enclosure.

We Install Indirect circulation systems

Pumps circulate a non-freezing, heat-transfer fluid through the collectors and a heat exchanger. This heats the water that then flows into the home. They are popular in climates prone to freezing temperatures.

Saves Money and Maintenance Free

Solar Hot water heating systems are easy to maintain and eco-friendly. On average, domestic water heating accounts for over 20% of the electric bill in a typical American home. By just installing a solar thermal heating system, the average home can greatly reduce their electric bill. With 14-25% of a family’s energy bill going to heating water, solar thermal technology offers an affordable alternative to traditional energy. Today, more than 1.5 million h

omeowners have invested in solar heating systems and this number continues to grow as more and home owners are doing their part to go “green.”

By using the heat generated from the sun to heat the water; it is an endless supply of free energy. With pay back periods from 3-5 years, homeowners can own the energy and not just rent it and with a life of 30 years or more, a homeowner’s hot water heating system is the only appliance that pays them back month after month.

AET’s maintenance free system lets homeowners enjoy the benefits of solar thermal heating without all worries of dangerous chemicals, overheating, freezing or mechanical parts that quickly fail. AET’s preferred system is toxic free, using only water, in a proprietary technology that prevents freezing and overheating. Just “set it” and “forget it.” From Maine to Florida and every state in between, AET’s has the perfect solution.

AET’s best in class solar thermal systems provide the highest efficiency with quality, reliability and proven durability. With best in class technology, AET’s solar systems provide consistent water heating with some of the highest efficiencies in the industry.

Duct Seal & Duct Repair

Why is Duct Sealing important?

A duct system that is well-designed and properly sealed can make your home more comfortable, energy efficient, and safer. Ducts are used in forced air heating and air conditioning systems to distribute the air throughout the house. There is a problem with this system, however—leaks. An average house will experience about a 20 percent loss of the air that moves through the duct system through leaks, holes, and poorly connected ducts. The result is higher utility bills and difficulty keeping the house comfortable, no matter how the thermostat is set. This is why we recommend getting an Energy Audit or a duct analysis.

How do you know if you have a Duct Problem?

You have high electric bills in the summer or high gas and or electric bills in the winter
You have certain rooms are hotter or colder than others and are hard to control
You have ducts located in an attic, crawlspace, or the garage
You have ducts in your system that are tangled, loose, or have tears

Arizona Energy Pros is BPI certified and an APS and SRP Arizona ENERGY STAR Home Performance Contractor. This qualifies you and your home for additional rebates and tax benefits that make a Duct Seal and Repair an inexpensive home improvement. We suggest that you invest in an Energy Audit to test the leakage you may have that leads to high energy bills, especially in the summer. Because ducts are often concealed in walls, ceiling, attics, and basements, repairing them can be difficult. But there are things that you can do to improve duct performance in your house.
