San Francisco Energy Watch has assisted a wide spectrum of industries, including restaurants, schools, retail stores, offices, residential properties, hotels, and more. The primary purpose of this program is to reduce energy use in San Francisco in keeping with the city's long-range plans to make San Francisco more environmentally sustainable.
"The San Francisco Energy Watch staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. They made the process simple and the results look fantastic. We are greener than ever!"
- Ray Beldner, Owner
Operating since 1989, Precita Clean is a self-service Laundromat located on the edge of Precita Park in the Bernal Heights neighborhood in San Francisco.
After the free, preliminary energy assessment, conducted by a San Francisco Energy Watch Specialist, Precita Clean replaced 52 older T12 lamps containing magnetic ballasts with 32 energy saving T8 linear fluorescents lights, electronic ballasts, and reflectors. Although the number of fixtures in the facility was reduced the brightness in the entire establishment actually improved. Additional retrofits performed include the replacement of 12 halogen lamps in the basement and the exterior area with efficient floodlights.
Precita Clean used the services of a San Francisco Energy Watch’s participating lighting contractor to install the energy saving equipment. The Program’s high incentives covered the entire project cost of the upgrades resulting in instant savings. The improvements Precita Clean made through the San Francisco Energy Watch program lowered energy use, energy costs and also boosted environmental awareness.
