Commercial lighting · BC Hydro Powersmart Alliance member
Improve your business through lighting.
LED lighting lowers the power bill, improves light quality and cuts relamping to almost nothing. We upgrade warehouses, offices, shops, restaurants and halls across the Comox Valley, and we find the BC Hydro rebate and do the paperwork with you.

What an upgrade changes
Lower bills. Better light. Fewer ladders.
Lower bills
LED fixtures use a fraction of the power of the fluorescent tubes and metal halide lamps they replace, and the saving shows up every month.
Better light
Even light without flicker, in a colour that shows products, food and work surfaces the way they really look.
Less upkeep
LED fixtures last for years, so the lift and the ladder come out far less often and staff aren’t working under dead tubes.
BC Hydro business rebates
We find your rebate. Then we do the paperwork.
BC Hydro’s Business Energy Saving Incentives (BESI) program pays part of the cost of replacing old lighting with approved LED fixtures. The rules are strict: the wrong fixture, or one ordered a day too early, and the claim is lost. That’s the part we take off your plate.
Checked before you commit
A fixture being on BC Hydro’s list isn’t enough. It has to be approved for the exact retrofit we’re claiming, and the wattage BC Hydro records for it has to be under that retrofit’s limit. Our app checks both for every line, so the rebate in your estimate is one BC Hydro will pay.
- On the list for the retrofit we’re claiming
- Under the limit BC Hydro records, not the number on the box
- Ordered after approval, from an Alliance distributor
What you get
Your numbers, on paper, before you decide.
The audit turns into a short report: what you have now, what we’d put in, what BC Hydro pays, what you save each year and how long it takes to pay back. A second page shows the math in plain language, so your accountant or your landlord can check it.

Review and payment

The rule that costs the most money
Nothing can be bought or installed before BC Hydro approves the application. Fixtures bought beforehand are disqualified, and there is no appeal. We hold every order until the approval email arrives.

Questions
Before you book an audit.
Does every LED fixture qualify?
No. BC Hydro approves specific products for specific retrofits, each with a wattage limit. We check both before we write your estimate.
Who gets the rebate money?
You do. BC Hydro sends the incentive cheque to the business, usually about 4 to 6 weeks after the paperwork is in.
Is my business eligible?
The program is for BC Hydro business customers. We’ll confirm your account and which of your fixtures qualify on the walk-through.
Can you work around our hours?
Yes. We plan the install around your business, including after-hours work where the building can’t go dark during the day.
Do you do lighting without a rebate?
Yes. New lighting for tenant improvements, signs, parking areas and exterior walls, rebate or not.
Next step
