Upgrade your lighting to LED and reduce your energy consumption by up to 90 per cent! LED’s last much longer than traditional lighting and come in a variety of styles and colours to suit your business' needs. They also help reduce maintenance requirements and can be used to feature specific areas of the building or landscape and enhance security.
Create the perfect climate for staff and clients all year round with energy efficient air conditioning and ventilation from leading brands like Daikin and Mitsubishi Electric.
Running old, inefficient equipment can drastically increase your monthly energy bill. Talk to the experts in climate control, The Heat Pump People. They can organise the right design, zoning, equipment selection and control, timer or automation functionality to ensure your heating system is running optimally for winter.
Timers/Sensors/Automation
Take control of your business' energy usage and prevent wastage with automation and sensor tools.
Set specific times for your devices to turn on and off, use motion sensors to light walkways and rooms (combine with LED lighting to maximise savings), remotely control appliances and save money on your electricity bill.
If you have electric vehicles (EVs) on your fleet, are planning to upgrade to EV, or want to provide charging options for your clients, installing EV charging stations can be convenient, help you reduce your fuel costs and avoid the higher charging fees that come with public charging stations.
Generate your own energy with solar power and reduce your reliance on the power grid. With solar panels installed, your business can generate its own electricity during the day at a significantly lower cost than purchasing from an energy supplier and have the option to store it in batteries for use after dark if required. Charge your electric vehicles, run your air conditioning, increase the value of your property, all whilst decreasing your operational costs and reducing your carbon footprint. What’s not to love about going solar!
