Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. An LED upgrade in Exeter is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Exeter
For an LED upgrade in Exeter we start by counting fittings and running hours, because payback depends far more on how long lights are on than on the price of the fittings.
We quote Exeter LED upgrades as a fixed price with a fitting schedule, so you can see exactly what is being replaced, where, and what it should save.
Our teams travel to Exeter from across Devon. Typical nearby jobs include Heavitree, Doddiscombsleigh and Broad Clyst, so we can often combine survey visits.
