Savings at a Glance

By participating in the BGE Small Business Energy Solutions program, Atlantic Valve & Supply used available incentives to upgrade the lighting in its warehouse to LEDs.

 3.6 years until payback on project costs
 3,684 kWh/year in energy savings
 $479/year in cost savings
 $4,643 in incentives paid

For more than 50 years, Atlantic Valve & Supply Co. has been distributing valves and fittings for the shipbuilding industry, serving a client list that includes the U.S. Coast Guard and Navy. The family-run business, which operates out of a 10,000-square foot warehouse in Baltimore’s Brooklyn neighborhood, completed a second round of lighting upgrades through BGE’s Small Business Energy Solutions program.

A decade earlier, Atlantic Valve & Supply first used program incentives to replace outdated incandescent lighting with energy-efficient T8 fixtures. So, when office manager J. Upton heard about new incentives for upgrading to LEDs, he was immediately interested in another opportunity to enhance the business while saving energy and money.
