New lighting can make your business look better, increase productivity, and reduce energy use.
We have two dedicated lighting upgrade programs, each with a specific focus.
1) prescriptive
Who it’s for: Projects that involve making substantial changes to a lighting system, including new fixtures. You’ll work with a participating contractor and Central Hudson to determine the best solution for your business.

2) Direct Install

“After the lights were replaced, there was a major difference in the brightness of the rooms. Customers complimented the difference in the overall look and were impressed by how fast the job was completed. It has lowered my overall electric bill!”
