"Participating in the San Francisco Energy Watch Program is a smart business investment. This Program helped my business save money."
- Damoon Arman, Owner
Operating since 2009, the Dollar Market is a retail store that sells a wide variety of discounted items from household goods to beauty products and more.
Dollar Market was approached by a participating San Francisco Energy Watch contractor who identified the store’s existing efficient and inefficient lighting. After analyzing the financial benefits of upgrading the inefficient fixtures Dollar Market opted to follow the contractor’s recommendations by undertaking lighting retrofits throughout the store. More than 100 energy efficient T8 linear fluorescent lights with electronic ballasts and reflectors were installed. The installation process was quick and without disruption to business. The upgrades did not only result in annual savings of $2,884 but also brightened up the merchandise.
San Francisco Energy Watch staff ensured that the installation was completed properly. Pleased with the professional turnkey services, Dollar Market‘s management decided to enroll its two other stores in the San Francisco Energy Watch Program.
