I don't know about every state or every electricity provider but here in Arkansas the incentives are great this year compared to what they will be next year. We've been needing to upgrade from these old electricity hungry T12's for a good while now. We heard that there might be incentives so we thought we'd give our local electrical company a call. They sent in a guy that entergy had hired to do an assessment. Well to make a long story short, to replace 45 T12 fixtures with led retrofits with no ballast came out to $5500 and some change including labor. After the incentives kicked in, Entergy will cut me a check after it's done for all but $1600 of it.
They said that I should get the $1600 back in a little over a year in savings based on my current usage. Plus not come into work everyday with another tube flickering. Better lighting, not having to replace bulbs everytime I turn around and the savings made it a no brainer.
So the reason for this post is to let you know that it might be worth a call to see if you can get the same break.
