/ / What Affects the Price
Why one job costs more than another.
These are the main variables that push your specific project toward the low or high end of the range.
Office troffers at 9-foot ceilings are straightforward. Warehouse high-bays at 20–40 feet require scissor lifts or boom lifts — adding equipment rental and time. Parking lot poles require bucket trucks.
Retrofit kits (replacing just the lamp and driver inside the existing housing) cost 30–50% less than full fixture replacement. Full replacement gives longer life, better light distribution, and a cleaner look — but costs more upfront.
Evergy's Business Energy Efficiency Rebate program offers per-fixture rebates for qualifying LED upgrades — typically $25–$100+ per fixture depending on type and wattage reduction. We identify qualifying fixtures during the free lighting audit and handle the rebate paperwork.
Working around occupied offices, active warehouses, or tenant spaces requires phased installation — adding days to the project. After-hours or weekend work is available but costs more.
Older facilities may need circuit rewiring, new junction boxes, or updated controls (occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting, dimming) as part of the retrofit. These upgrades improve energy savings but add to project cost.
