Energy-Efficient Wineries

Lighting & Controls

Energy-efficient lighting can be a quick, easy, and inexpensive win. New lighting fixtures and LEDs provide better quality light right where you need it, enhancing the functionality of your interior spaces.

High-efficiency lighting fixtures use up to 90% less energy—and money—and controls save you more by automatically turning lights off in unoccupied spaces and adjusting light levels in empty parking lots. Long lasting and shatter resistant, LEDs reduce your ongoing maintenance and replacement costs and lower your energy bills for years.

Hybrid Water Heaters

Hybrid water heaters make the same hot water you need, at about 40% the operating costs. Plus, they last about 1.5 times as long as a conventional electric water heater, reducing your replacement costs over the long run.

Chelan PUD incentives save you money now and for many years on reduced replacement and energy costs.

As an added bonus, a hybrid water heater provides essentially "free" cooling, as it releases cool, dehumidified air when running. This makes it a perfect addition to a space that needs cooling, like a wine cellar or near a refrigerator.
