134. New York is Going Fluorescent-Free – Here’s How You Can Upgrade to LEDs for Free
Mar 12, 2025
New York is making a bold move toward a fluorescent-free future, and if you’re still using outdated lighting, now is the time to switch. Thanks to NYSEG and RG&E’s Energy Efficiency Program, businesses can upgrade to energy-saving LED lighting for free—yes, 100% covered.
New York is Phasing Out Fluorescents
Fluorescent lighting is being phased out due to new efficiency regulations and environmental concerns, and New York is leading the charge. This transition ensures businesses move toward sustainable, energy-efficient alternatives. The best part? You don’t have to pay for the upgrade.
As a registered trade ally of NYSEG and RG&E, OEO is here to help businesses seamlessly upgrade their lighting with free LED replacements through the state’s Energy Efficiency Program. It’s like the ‘Cash for Clunkers’ program, but for your lights.
