Frequently Asked Questions

💰 BC Hydro Rebates & Costs
How much can our business save through BC Hydro rebates?
Depending on your existing fixtures (e.g., converting old T8 fluorescents or Metal Halide high-bays to LED), BC Hydro rebate programs can cover up to 50% to 75% of total project equipment and installation costs.

Additionally, BC Hydro offers temporary bonus incentive top-ups on eligible commercial and multi-family lighting upgrades submitted through the Alliance program, further reducing your upfront investment and shortening your payback period to as little as 12 to 24 months.

Does Metcalfe Lighting handle the rebate paperwork for us?
Yes, 100%. As a recognized trade ally, we handle the entire application lifecycle through BC Hydro’s Conservation and Energy Management (CEM) portal. We perform the pre-approval energy modeling, file the paperwork, and secure your rebate approval before installation begins—so there are no surprises.

What is the typical Return on Investment (ROI) for an LED retrofit?
Most commercial sites (parkades, warehouses, and outdoor parking lots) see a 40% to 70% reduction in lighting energy consumption immediately after retrofitting. Combined with reduced maintenance costs (no more replacing ballasts or burnt-out high-bay bulbs) and BC Hydro incentives, most facilities achieve full payback within 1 to 3 years.

🚨 Emergency Maintenance & Service Calls
Do you offer emergency electrical repairs and pole lighting service?
Yes. We operate our own fleet of bucket trucks and certified boom operators across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. Whether you have an urgent parking lot pole outage, damaged exterior signage, parkade fixture failure, or an emergency lighting fault, our dispatch team provides rapid-response troubleshooting and repairs.
How quickly can a technician respond to an urgent lighting outage?
For urgent safety or security risks (such as dark parkades, broken pole fixtures, or main circuit failures), we prioritize same-day or next-day dispatch across the Lower Mainland. Call us directly at (604) 469-7446 for rapid service dispatch.

⏱️ Project Timelines & Lead Times
How long does a typical commercial LED retrofit take from audit to completion?
A standard lighting retrofit moves through four main stages:
Initial Site Audit & Proposal: 1 to 3 business days following your initial walk-through.
BC Hydro Pre-Approval: 1 to 2 weeks for application review and incentive locking.
Fixture Procurement: 1 to 3 weeks depending on whether custom pole fixtures, smart controls, or standard indoor LED panels are required.
On-Site Installation: 1 to 5 days, depending on the scope and size of your facility.

Will the installation disrupt our daily operations or tenant access?
No. We specialize in working around active B2B operations. For auto dealerships, warehouses, and commercial office buildings, we schedule installations during off-hours, evenings, or weekends. For parkades and strata properties, we work in phased zones to keep vehicle traffic and parking spaces accessible at all times.
