Commercial LED Lighting Upgrades

YESS specialises in delivering energy-efficient commercial LED lighting upgrade services to South Australian businesses, with many installs delivered at a very low cost with the aid of the South Australian REPS Scheme commercial lighting rebates.

We will assess your existing lighting and recommend new LED lighting upgrades to suit your business requirements. We can also provide information on the benefits, energy savings, return on investments and payback periods. As part of your lighting upgrade and installation, existing lighting is safely recycled in an environmentally friendly way.

YESS will manage the discounting of the services through the Retailer Energy Productivity Scheme (REPS) program in South Australia, providing a cost and time-effective service for your business.

Why switch to LED?

Reduce Lighting Energy Bills by up to 60%

LEDs are much more efficient than traditional incandescent bulbs, which means they use less electricity. This energy efficiency also translates into money savings for you, as you’ll see lower monthly energy bills.

Improve the Quality and Lifespan of Your Lighting

LEDs’ high efficiency and directional nature make them ideal for industrial uses. By emitting light in a specific direction, LEDs eliminate the need for diffusers and reflectors. As a result of this feature, LEDs are more efficient.

Less Energy
Emitted as Heat

LEDs don’t release heat in contrast to traditional bulbs, which emit a lot of heat. Not only is this a safety hazard, but it also wastes energy as most electricity is converted into heat rather than light.

Reduce
Maintenance Costs

An average LED light can last up to 50,000 hours, much longer than traditional incandescent bulbs. This extended product life means you won’t have to replace your bulbs often, saving you time and money.

Better for
the Environment

LEDs are also much safer than traditional bulbs as they don’t emit ultraviolet light, are free from harmful gasses, do not contain mercury, and carbon dioxide emissions are 90% lower than old halogen bulbs.

Improve Overall
Health of Staff

Employees benefit from LED lighting for various reasons, from eye fatigue to improved mental health and well-being. In addition, warm white LEDs can be used as adequate mood lighting because they create a relaxing atmosphere.

How much does it cost?

We offer free site assessments to inspect your lighting, allowing us to provide you with a detailed no-obligation quote and return on investment. Many things that affect the dollar value of the quote. This depends on the business ANZSIC classification, the type of lighting, including the control gear of the ballast, and the space type in which the lights are situated (e.g., Retail, Workshop, Warehouse etc.).

Small energy consumers:

Businesses that consume less than 160MWh per annum on their power bill are classified as small energy consumer businesses.

We can offer lighting upgrades to small energy consumers from $33 (inc. GST) per business address*.

Large energy consumers:

Businesses that consume greater than 160MWh per annum on their power bill are classified as large energy consumer businesses.

There is a minimum surcharge of $1.70 (inc. GST) per REPS credit for these types of businesses*

* Pending business classification and site inspection.

The REPS commercial LED lighting upgrades
are available for all kinds of businesses in South Australia

Frequently Asked Questions

The South Australian Government created an obligatory Scheme that all energy retailers (AGL, Energy Australia, Origin etc.) must partake in. A quota or target is set for each energy retailer, and it is up to them to fund and complete energy-saving activities such as commercial LED lighting upgrades to meet these targets.

Companies such as YESS are here to provide that service on behalf of energy retailers. Essentially, we perform all the work and collect the necessary compliance evidence (photos, paperwork, and verification calls) that we then sell to the energy retailers as credits or rebates who submit the completed work to the government body (ESCOSA) that is overseeing the state scheme.

It is optional for businesses to participate in the scheme however, without participation, they are unable to access the credits.

Faulty fixtures or missing lights are unable to be upgraded if claiming the REPS Rebate. All light fixtures must be working on the day of your scheduled upgrade to be replaced under the REPS program. If a fitting has no working lights, it will not be upgraded because the program is designed to provide energy savings to the business. In the scenario where a light is missing or not working (not drawing power), then by YESS installing a light in its place, we would be increasing the energy consumption for that fitting, not reducing it.

As part of your initial assessment, your lighting upgrade consultant will help identify any areas the electrician will be unable to upgrade due to access issues or hazards. If you are unable to make the area safe and clear any obstacles, please advise us

This will all come down to the following:

The site is eligible, and we have all the necessary pre-install required documents (Electricity Bill, Signed Quote Acceptance etc.)
Product and Elevated Work Platform availability
Your availability
Our availability (we typically try to book a fortnight in advance, we can arrange to book ahead of this and may even be able to squeeze the customer in early if we have a free day due to a cancellation or if it is a smaller job we can slot in before or after another one).

GJs are complex and confusing for most customers, especially in the casual format of these assessments. A GJ or gigajoule, simply put, is a unit of measurement used for quantifying energy. YESS are looking to save you energy, and every kilowatt we reduce for you with our LED lighting upgrade goes toward this gigajoule quantity.

Each business address is limited to 20,000GJs of energy savings. Anything in addition to this will be tackled outside of the scheme. YESS will often refer to GJ’s as a “Credit”

As above, “credit” is our lingo used to quantify the energy savings we can offer you.
