How much can an LED retrofit actually save?

LED uses a fraction of the energy of fluorescent or incandescent lighting and lasts far longer, so savings come from both lower power use and fewer replacements. The payoff is biggest for spaces that run lights many hours a day. We will give you an honest read on where it makes sense for your property.

Are there rebates for efficiency upgrades?

California utilities and state programs have periodically offered rebates for efficient lighting and controls. Programs change over time, so we recommend confirming current offers when you start, and we document our installs so the work is ready to qualify.

What is Title 24 and does it apply to me?

Title 24 is California's building energy-efficiency standard, and it governs lighting and controls for new work and many upgrades, especially commercial. We build to current Title 24 requirements so your project complies.

Do you do efficiency upgrades for homes too?

Yes. While businesses see the fastest payback, homeowners benefit from LED retrofits, exterior lighting upgrades, and controls as well. We size the work to your property.

Energy Efficiency Upgrades by Best Diehl Electric

Lighting and inefficient electrical loads are a quiet drain on every monthly bill, and they are some of the most cost-effective things to fix. Swapping aging fluorescent and incandescent lighting for modern LED, and adding controls like occupancy sensors and daylight dimming, cuts energy use immediately, lasts far longer, and pays for itself over time, especially for businesses running lights all day.

Best Diehl Electric handles energy-efficiency upgrades for homes and commercial spaces across the Central Valley: interior and exterior LED retrofits, parking-lot and security lighting, lighting controls, and load improvements. We build to California's Title 24 energy standards, and we document the work properly so it can qualify for the utility and state rebate programs that are periodically available.
