Energy Fitness Program

The Energy Fitness Program and Medium Energy Fitness Program have been merged into one program and are available to any business that is a PG&E customer with a commercial electric account A-1, A-6, A-10, E-19 or E-20.

The average small business will receive up to 20 4ft T-12 fixtures retrofitted and as many screw in compact fluorescent lamps as they have in the building. Also they will receive a basic A/C tune up on all units which include new filters, chemical cleaning of the coils, and a temperature split reading to measure efficiency of the unit. Also installed where needed will be Vending Misers which shut down the lights and compressor on soda machines saving up to $300 per year and occupancy sensors which shut down lighting in break rooms and conference rooms when unoccupied. Exit signs will be replaced either with retrofit screw in LED lamps or replacement of existing fixtures which usually run 24 hours a day every day.

Depending on what gets installed, the average small business will save approximately $300 to $1500 per year on their electric bill with no invested cost to the business. Each business will receive a 20 to 30 page report that lists the individual savings to the business that result from the actual retrofit and a host of energy saving tips and recommendations to save additional energy and money for the business. Also included in the program is technical follow up information if customers wish to follow up on the report recommendations.

Medium sized businesses over 100kw will receive up to 80 4ft-8ft T-12 fixture retrofits including de-lamping with reflectors with all the above measures included for a potential savings of $1000 to $3000 or more per year on their electric bill.

The programs are completely FREE to participating businesses in the Northern Sacramento Valley in California. All funding comes from the Public Purpose Program which is generated from everyone who pays a PG&E bill.
