We’ve customized this list to help your retail store save money with Efficiency Vermont rebates today, and on energy costs for years to come.
With energy-efficient lighting, customers will appreciate how well your store is lit and take notice of your displays while you benefit from big savings. Options are available for overhead lighting, track and spot display lighting, wall-mount fixtures, parking lot lighting, and more. Occupancy sensors save money by turning off lighting in occasionally used spaces like rest rooms, break rooms, and storage areas.
Upgrade your display lighting to LEDs that use up to 80% less energy than standard halogen bulbs. LEDs also last at least 10 times longer, have the same quality light you need for display, and create less heat output, which reduces the need for air-conditioning.
