Lighting can play a huge role in attracting customers to your business when installed appropriately. From unique techniques and creative displays to every-day needs, it’s important to find a commercial electric lighting company that possesses extensive knowledge of this dynamic field.

For more than 35 years, Gary Houston Electric Company (GHEC) has recognized that lighting is a critical component of any enterprise. Not only do employees need functional lighting to perform, but customers want to see aesthetically pleasing objects and spaces when they come into your business.

Here are some other reasons superior lighting design is good for business:

1 Depending on your type of business, lighting accounts for 20 to 50 percent of energy use. You could realize significant savings with a variety of energy-efficiency improvements.

2 Because equipment and technology is constantly improving, lighting typically offers the highest return on investment when compared to other major upgrades.

3 For new construction or remodel projects, make the decision early on to select energy-efficient technology in order to get the most for your money and to expedite the process. GHEC will take the time to discuss available lighting technologies, their efficiency, and what might be right for your facility.

4 Superior lighting design incorporates the coordinated selection of lighting, fixtures, fixture placement, and room finishes (e.g., high-reflectivity paint) to create a superior and efficient system.

5 There are a lot of simple upgrades to existing systems and standard specifications that can be done to achieve reasonable energy-saving results.

GHEC also provides residential lighting services. Our area of expertise includes homes, retail spaces, restaurants, office spaces, warehouses, and more. We service both new construction and existing structures needing electrical repair or being remodeled. And our company is fully licensed, bonded, and insured.
