Financing Option for LED Lighting Retrofit

Contrary to what most facility owners may think, financing LED lighting through a lease actually make alot of sense. Here are some reasons why:

1. Overall Savings

Changing to LED lights requires a initial investment up front, and if you make the right retrofit decisions, should require little to no maintenance and payback 30-50% of your initial investment in operating cost for the next 5 to 10 years. MountainLED currently provides leasing plans from 4 - 8% annually. Instead of incurring a large cashflow to tight organizational finances, purchasing through a least to own plan of 2-3 years works makes minimal changes in the overall savings.

2. Save as you go

Essentially, the lease can also be seen as a save-as-you-go plan. Use the monthly savings you experience to pay back the lease on the lights instead. After 2-3 years, the organization basically got a free facility upgrade with no real additional money expenditure.

3. Accelerated Depreciation

Depending on the details and the type of retrofit, an facility can use the lease-to-own plan as a way to achieve accelerated depreciation on the facility upgrade through a lease to own program.

4. Rebate Cashback

Depending on the details and the type of retrofit, facilities can receive a rebate cashback from the government immediately after retrofit completion, which may be substantial and by itself pay for the first year of leasing costs.
