RuBo's Grocery Store Sees The Light After LED Improvements

logoRuBo’s is a small, privately owned chain of grocery stores in South Georgia. Looking to save on energy costs and show their produce in a better light, RuBo’s contracted with NetZero USA of South GA to handle a turnkey lighting retrofit at their grocery store, replacing outdated T12 fluorescent lights with modern, energy efficient LED options.

Prior to the upgrade the T12 light fixtures being used at RuBo’s were burning approximately 150-watts each hour. The NZLED® solution installed by NetZero USA brings those same light fixtures down to just 40-watts each hour. And since NZLED® kits were retrofitted into the existing fixtures, NetZero USA is providing RuBo’s with added savings since buying a new fixture was not required.

The corporate team from RuBo’s elected to take advantage of NetZero USA’s Z.E.R.O. Funding Program® on their lighting upgrades. As a result, the grocery store is saving money from Day 1, and saving money every month because the monthly finance cost is lower than the energy savings delivered from the new LED lighting products.

Over the next 10 years, more than $144,000 dollars in cumulative savings will be delivered as a direct result of this LED lighting improvement.
