An LED upgrade in Harpenden is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
In Harpenden warehouses and workshops the biggest savings come from swapping metal halide high bays for LED, where a 400 W lamp plus gear can often be replaced by a fitting drawing 150 W or less.
Harpenden is a working town with a good mix of businesses, covered by postcode districts AL5, AL3 and AL4. We regularly work across Hertfordshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Harpenden FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Harpenden?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Harpenden offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Do you cover all of Harpenden?
Yes. We work across Harpenden and the AL5, AL3 and AL4 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Redbourn, Sandridge and St Albans.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Do you just change the tubes?
We recommend replacing the whole luminaire. Retrofit LED tubes leave old ballasts and holders in place, which can fail and complicate future maintenance. A complete fitting is cleaner, more efficient and simpler to certify.
