Lighting Energy Audits in Southern Maryland
As a business owner, you have a wide variety of bills that must be accounted for each month. One cost that often stands out is your energy bill. Lighting a commercial space can get rather pricey. At John Goudie Electric, we perform professional energy assessments to create a thorough report on how to reduce and improve your lighting system’s energy consumption. An energy audit is one of the smartest ways to reduce your energy usage and, in turn, lower your monthly bills.

What Is an Energy Audit?
When assessing your business’s energy usage, we begin with the past. You should have copies of your previous energy bills (dating back a few years) available so that your auditor can gain a sense of your historical usage. This information helps the auditor know what to look for when assessing your property.

Why Do I Need an Energy Audit?
An energy audit is the most efficient and effective way to understand your lighting’s energy usage and, in turn, improve it. If your energy bills have been climbing or your business is taking the initiative to reduce its carbon footprint, an energy assessment will give you the information you need to create a smart plan of action for reducing your energy use.
Beyond lower energy bills, what other benefits does a lighting energy audit include?
- Reduced environmental impact: Less energy use means less demand on non-renewable resources, as well as reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
- Increased equipment lifespan: Since audits are all about efficiency, we assess the efficiency of your lighting and can tell you if a certain fixture or bulb is outdated and will benefit from being replaced by a more efficient model. This includes LED bulb and fixture replacements.
- Improved lighting system: Replacing your lightbulbs or reconfiguring your lighting system can lead to better illumination and a more even distribution of light throughout your space.
