Flick the switch on savings

A-GRADE Electrician Matt Rooth is the friendly face that can replace your power-sucking halogen downlights to energy efficient LED globes.
Light up your home or business with the same light, for less money … and it’s better for the environment.
Matt can change old, tired, expensive “power-sucking” halogen downlights to power saving LED globes free of charge.
LED globes have revolutionised energy-efficient lighting. LED lights are super energy efficient, using about 85 per cent less energy than halogen lighting – meaning significant savings on power bills.
There are so many benefits of using LED globes – they are more efficient and longer lasting, LEDs have a much longer lifespan than other types of lighting lasting up to 45,000 hours, and since LEDs do not have a filament, they are not damaged under circumstances when a regular bulb maybe broken, and lastly these bulbs do not cause heat build-up.
Best of all, the environmental benefits. As we become more aware of our impact on the environment, many of us are taking steps to ensure we do everything possible to protect our natural resources. This is a step in the right direction.
Not only do LEDs last as much as 20 times longer than other lighting sources, and therefore don’t need to be replaced often (reduces the impact of manufacturing, packaging and shipping) but LEDs also are designed to provide more than a decade of near maintenance-free service. Less servicing also reduces environmental impact.
The high cost of LED globes are one reason most businesses or residents alike haven’t made the change over. This is where Matt comes in. He is a licenced A-Grade electrician and accredited Government Contractor. He will exchange 50-watt halogen downlight globes for 6-watt LED globes – with compliance papers – and it’s free, with no strings attached.
This initiative is a part of the Victorian Energy Efficiency Target (VEET) scheme.
Businesses, retirement villages, not-for-profit organisations – anyone who has halogen downlights can take advantage of this scheme now.
Matt can be contacted on 0491 163 396.
