Founded in 1869, Graybar has a long reputation as one of North America's leading commercial and industrial lighting suppliers. If you need an end-to-end solution for a lighting project, switchgear upgrade, or even a half-mile of electrical conduit, we deliver it when and where it is needed. Our Colorado Springs location is a full-service branch, with a counter, will call pickup and stocked inventory in an on-site warehouse. Streamlining energy usage in commercial buildings is one of our key missions. Over 30 percent of energy used is done so inefficiently. Lighting upgrades can pay for themselves in as little as two years, and can even present a return on investment of up to 45 percent. Integrating Graybar solutions can help you reach your long term sustainability goals like reducing 20 percent of your energy usage by 2020 as mandated by the federal government. Through our distribution network and value-added services, such as kitting and integrated solutions, we help our customers power and network their facilities with speed, intelligence, and most importantly, efficiency. A lighting retrofit is a simple and effective way in which we can help make your buildings more efficient. Lighting retrofits not only increase the quality of light in a workplace, but also result in less heat, which in turn also reduces air conditioning costs. Retrofit fixtures install in minutes, swapping out lamps and ballasts to improve efficiency, and install directly into existing fixture housings. This cuts down on project turnaround time and annoying ceiling tile repairs. There are plenty of reasons to consider a lighting retrofit in your building and our lighting specialists can help answer even more questions about energy savings. When new building projects are started, it would be wise to design them from the ground up to be energy efficient. Graybar can help incorporate advanced control systems that automatically take data from around the building using occupancy sensors and dimmers. With the added savings produced by integral day light sources designed into the structure, peak energy usage periods become lower in usage. Graybar Colorado Springs offers a full array of electrical supplies and the know-how to help you make use of them.
