[February 2008]
With the rising cost of electricity and the impact of power production on our environment, it doesn’t make sense to pay to light areas that don’t really need to be lit. Installing lighting controls not only helps make buildings more energy efficient, it can also make them more comfortable and productive because individual dimming controls can increase employee comfort and satisfaction. Even in open office areas, employees can choose to adjust the light source over their workstations to suit their personal preferences.
Lighting controls turn lights off when they are not needed or dim them so that no more light than necessary is produced. From simple switches and time clocks to occupancy sensors, these controls ensure that not all lighting will be used at a single time or at full capacity, thereby reducing energy costs. Savings can be especially significant in areas such as hallways, storage areas and warehouses. Lower power requirements also lower the demand placed on power generators and grids, reducing environmental impact.

Solar energy is a renewable resource that, unlike fossil fuels, is available just about anywhere on earth. Choosing to invest in solar power is one of the wisest decisions your organization can make. By choosing solar power over traditional energy sources, you could make a serious dent in your electricity bill. Best of all, because this source of energy is free, you’re completely immune to rising energy prices. The benefits of solar power are endless – it can be used to provide heat, lighting, mechanical power and electricity.
A solar power system is a long term, low risk and high return investment. If you’d like to consider solar power for your building or production facility, please let us know. Dial One Wolfedale Electric is currently seeking partners to pilot this exciting technology at a nominal cost; if your facility meets specific criteria you may be eligible to participate in this exceptional business opportunity! Please contact Jackie Strachan at (905) 564-8999 ext. 227 for more information.
We are pleased to introduce the Energy Efficient Contractors Network, (EECN), a partnership between Ontario contractor associations committed to improving energy efficiency for their customers and the Ontario Power Authority (OPA). The EECN has developed a comprehensive training program to teach electrical contractors how to help you reduce electricity costs.
As a fully trained Energy Efficiency Contractor, Dial One Wolfedale Electric shares exclusive access to a province-wide database of incentives and rebate programs available through local utilities and government. Based on your building’s type and location, we can identify energy savings programs that may include price reductions, rebates and other incentive programs. And, of course, we can also help you reduce electricity costs by designing electrical panels, retrofitting and installing a wide range of energy efficient fixtures and controls!
EECN training is exclusively available to members of its founding contractors’ associations which include the Ontario Electrical League, chaired by Dial One Wolfedale Electric President, Richard Cullis.
Contact our service department and we’ll help you identify energy savings you can take advantage of right now!
