With PPL rate caps gone and large government mandated energy efficiency programs now available, now is the best time to upgrade your facility to a high efficiency lighting system.

REG started performing lighting retrofits after recommendations from energy audits of facilities often went undone for years. It inspired us to create a program that gets the best quality lighting while minimizing energy usage. And, the installation does not need to interrupt your productivity. Our flexible crews can work around your schedule, often including nights and weekends.

Not only will you see electricity savings by consuming
half the electricity of the outdated system, but these new high performance T8 systems are a benefit in several other ways including:

• Eliminate ballast humming
• Reduced flickering
• Improved color rendering
• Longer lamp life
• Reduced system maintenance
• Reduced light depreciation over time
• Reduced lamp inventory

Now, with the Pennsylvania ACT 129 lighting rebates available, average lighting jobs are expecting a rebate check that covers approximately 1/3 of the installed cost which typically cuts a whole year or more off of the payback. These ACT 129 dollars aren’t going to be around forever though, and you should be sure to take advantage since you are paying for it as one of the line items on your electric bill. Be sure to check out the ACT 129 documentation for your utility if you are making other energy efficient upgrades to your facility as well since there are rebates for for items such as HVAC, compressed air, building envelope, etc.

Richards Energy Group is dedicated to providing our customers with the lowest possible overall operating costs by providing the highest quality products for each and every lighting retrofit. We have also recently partnered with the Sustainable Energy Fund to offer extremely competitive rates for our positive cash flow option. With the positive cash flow option, most clients will realize an immediate return on investment.

To schedule an analysis of the lighting at your facility, email Travis Keeney at tkeeney@richardsenergy.com or give us a call at (717) 898-6330 x116.

Today marks the 15th anniversary of Richards Energy Group. Frank left PPL with the goal of helping electric end users save energy dollars, 15 years ago today. Times sure have changed since he was working by himself with a laptop in the dining room of his house. Since then REG has moved twice, first to a World War II era Quonset hut on the Landisville Railroad, and most recently to a restored farmhouse and barn overlooking the Chiques Creek and Lancaster Liederkranz, right between Mount Joy and Salunga. Richards Energy Group now has 10 full time and 5 part time employees as well as several contract employees. We’d like to thank all of our customers and REAP members as we reflect on our growth and the savings we’ve helped achieve over the past 15 years!

We are pleased to announce that we have moved to a larger building! This is an exciting time for us and we are in a good position to expand our operations. Despite the global recession REG has been adding staff and our new facility allows us to house it all!

Our new address is:

Richards Energy Group, Inc.
781 S. Chiques Road
Manheim, PA 17545

Our phone number is still the same.

All this would not be possible without you, our loyal customers. Thank you for trusting us with your business!
