Energy efficiency isn’t just good for the planet—it’s good for your bottom line. For businesses in Iowa, investing in energy-efficient electrical systems can lead to major cost savings, better performance, and a more sustainable future.
At Tesdell Electric, we help commercial clients design and upgrade their electrical systems to maximize efficiency without compromising power or productivity.
Why Energy Efficiency Matters in Commercial Spaces
Commercial buildings are some of the largest consumers of electricity. Lighting, HVAC systems, equipment, and tech infrastructure all draw power around the clock. Over time, even small inefficiencies can add up to major utility costs.
Upgrading to more efficient systems can:
- Lower monthly energy bills
- Reduce equipment wear and tear
- Improve environmental sustainability
Position your business for rebates or tax incentives
Key Areas for Energy-Efficient Electrical Design
1. Lighting Upgrades
Lighting can account for up to 40% of a building’s energy usage.
Tesdell Tip: LED retrofits and smart lighting controls (like motion sensors and dimmers) can cut lighting costs dramatically while improving visibility and comfort.
2. Smart Controls & Automation
Modern control systems can fine-tune your building’s energy use in real-time.
Tesdell Tip: We install advanced lighting and power controls that adapt to occupancy, daylight, and schedules, reducing waste without sacrificing functionality.
3. HVAC System Integration
Heating and cooling systems rely heavily on electrical infrastructure.
Tesdell Tip: Partnering with HVAC teams, we ensure that electrical systems support smart thermostats, zoning, and energy-efficient climate control.
4. Efficient Panel Design
Old panels and outdated wiring lead to safety risks.
Tesdell Tip: Our commercial panel upgrades deliver safer, more efficient power distribution—especially in high-load buildings like grocery stores, manufacturing, and healthcare facilities.
5. Surge Protection and Load Balancing
Spikes and surges don’t just damage equipment—they reduce energy efficiency.
Tesdell Tip: We implement surge protection, voltage optimization, and load balancing strategies to protect sensitive equipment and reduce unnecessary energy use.
Real Savings. Real Results.
Energy-efficient systems aren’t just about “going green.” They deliver measurable savings and long-term value for Iowa businesses. With Tesdell Electric, we help you understand your current energy use and implement upgrades that make a lasting impact.
