Innovation Meets Efficiency | Lighting Upgrades | Electrical | Pioneer

HEP brings the future a little closer every time we flip a switch. Our team blends cutting-edge design, premium components, and deep expertise to deliver lighting upgrades that instantly elevate comfort while driving down energy costs. From smart controls that learn your schedule to high-efficiency LEDs that bathe every corner in crisp illumination, we engineer solutions that slash utility bills and carbon footprints without sacrificing style.

The result is a streamlined project that pays for itself—often in only a few billing cycles—then keeps giving back through reduced maintenance and a brighter, safer environment. Whether you manage a single storefront or an entire campus, HEP’s turnkey approach handles assessment, rebates, installation, and verification, so you can focus on what you do best and bask in the glow of smarter light.

FAQs

Why should I upgrade to Pioneer's energy-efficient lighting solutions?

Switching to our next-generation LED and smart-control luminaires can cut lighting electricity use by up to 70 %, reduce maintenance visits because LEDs last 50,000–100,000 hours, and create a brighter, more comfortable environment. Our “Innovation Meets Efficiency” approach layers advanced optics, occupancy and daylight sensors, and networked controls onto reliable electrical design so you receive maximum savings without sacrificing light quality.

How much money will I actually save after a lighting upgrade?

Savings depend on the existing fixtures, operating hours, and local utility rates, but most Pioneer clients see payback in 18–36 months. For example, replacing 100 metal-halide high-bays that consume 458 W each with our 150 W smart LEDs typically saves roughly 90,000 kWh per year— about $9,000 annually at a $0.10/kWh rate. Added control strategies (dimming, scheduling, daylight harvesting) can boost savings a further 20-30 %.

Can the new fixtures integrate with my current electrical infrastructure and controls?

Yes. We design retrofit kits and luminaires that fit standard sockets, troffers, and mounting points, so most projects reuse existing wiring runs and switch legs. Our engineers audit your site, confirm circuit capacities, and program gateways so the new networked controls talk to your BMS, DALI, 0-10 V, or wireless protocols (BLE, Zigbee, Wi-Fi). That means minimal drywall work, no extensive re-cabling, and a seamless transition for facility staff.

What does the installation process look like and will it disrupt my operations?

A typical small office (10,000 ft²) retrofit finishes in 1-2 nights, while a 100,000 ft² warehouse may take 5-7 nights. We work after hours or in phased zones, isolate circuits, and use lift equipment with certified electricians to keep work areas safe and clear. Our turn-key service covers permitting, demo, installation, commissioning, and waste recycling, so your team experiences virtually no downtime.

Are there rebates or tax incentives available, and do you help secure them?

Most utilities in North America offer prescriptive or custom rebates for high-efficiency lighting and controls— often covering 20–50 % of project cost. Federal EPAct/179D deductions and state clean-energy grants may apply as well. Pioneer’s rebate specialists prepare the paperwork, perform pre- and post-inspections, and submit on your behalf, ensuring you capture every eligible dollar without the administrative headache.

How do smart controls and IoT features add value beyond simple LED replacement?

Smart lighting turns fixtures into data-rich assets. Occupancy and daylight sensors automatically dim or switch off lights when not needed, while scheduling aligns illumination with shifts or seasons. Wireless mesh networking lets you re-zone spaces from a dashboard instead of rewiring. Integrated asset tracking, environmental monitoring, and emergency-light testing further leverage the same infrastructure, giving you actionable insights and additional ROI.
