Install LEDs for Tremendous Energy Savings

LEDs boast deep energy savings, even far superior to that of energy efficient T8 fluorescent fixtures, and long life- reducing maintenance and replacement cost. To see if LEDs might be a good fit for your application, schedule a commercial lighting audit with a PUD 3 conservation technician at (360) 426-0777.

Sometimes hiring an electrician and installing your own lighting equipment isn’t feasible.

If you have an outdoor area that needs more lighting, you may wish to consider PUD 3's outdoor lighting program. It's really simple to get started, and you don't have to buy or install the light fixtures. PUD 3 furnishes, installs, owns, and maintains the light, which is mounted on a utility pole near your home or business. The lights will operate automatically each night from dusk to dawn.
