Reducing a Business' Energy Costs

The primary concern with all businesses is making money from the product or service which they  offer.  So 

understandably energy bills often take a back seat. They are seen as a fixed expense of a business, but they

are in fact a leakage of profits. A leakage which can fairly easily be cut by over 50%. 



Simple energy saving techniques such as switching lighting to LED's can save over 50% on a business' lighting

bill. Additional savings are made from reduced maintenance costs as they will far outlast traditional halogen

lighting, and the quality of light is also improved.

Combine with a Solar photovoltaic (PV) system, which generates free electricity, a saving of over 50% on an overall

electricity bill can be achieved. 



Another factor which makes businesses reluctant to install energy saving technologies is the initial installation cost.

There is a solution out there which many people are unaware of. Siemens offer Energy Efficient Financing, which is 

a flexible finance solution to cover the cost of installing energy saving equipment. The repayments are covered by 

savings made on the energy bill from installing such equipment. Put simply, the energy saving equipment pays for

itself! The Finance is backed by the Carbon Trust.



From installing LED lighting, a repayment period of 1-2 years can be expected. Additional savings will be made year on year from reduced maintenance costs. The lighting has a lifespan of 30,000 to 50,000 hours so you can forget about changing the lighting for a long time. 



The repayment period from installing Solar PV varies depending on size of system installed, time and amount of electricity is used at the premises. An average of 4-7 years would be a fair estimate for a commercial premises. 



So we ask business owners, take a look at your yearly electricity bill, what could you do with a 50% reimbursement?



Alongside the money saving aspect, Installing energy saving technologies will greatly reduce carbon emissions, which is becoming an increasingly important issue.

We make the whole process fast and simple from initial survey, to arranging finance and installation of the technology which will save your business money, so you don't have to take time away from your business.
