Tips On Reducing Commercial Electricity Bills in Kelowna, From A Local Electrician

As experienced electrical contractors in Kelowna, we understand how important it is that businesses in the area are able to reduce their electrical and utility bills.

There are a few key ways that businesses can lower their electrical bills without compromising comfort or efficiency. In fact, it is by utilizing more efficient processes that business owners are able to create a more comfortable environment and save money.

Turn off electrical devices when not in use

As long as they’re plugged in and turned on, electrical devices can draw power, even when not in use. Switch off as many electrical devices as possible at the end of the day, such as computers and lights.

Explore rebate options for new electrical equipment

There are often rebates available for upgrades to new, high-efficiency equipment in the Okanagan. Not only will the rebates save you cash initially, but switching to higher-efficiency equipment will save you money in the long run.

If you’re not sure where to start, a local electrical company can help. A savvy electrical contractor will know which rebates are available in the Kelowna region, be able to determine whether or not you are eligible, and help you acquire the financing.
