BHP offers local business energy surveys

Speaking at a lunch hosted by BHP and arranged by the Belle Fourche Chamber of Commerce, Martinez and BHP marketing and sales manager Mutch Usera said Northern Hills BHP offices can arrange energy surveys at no charge to the owner.

"Use BHP for a first opinion," Martinez said. "It's free."

Martinez said the regional power company has standard energy savings programs to help homeowners that may not need a survey, but each business is a unique challenge to consider for any energy-savings program.

"We can do quick walk-throughs, or view billing history through the year," he said. The billing history can help BHP staff determine what may be the most expensive energy use in a given business through seasonal variations.Shop our online store for goodledbulbs lights in a multitude of colors.

Usera said the programs are a way for the power company to help keep energy prices down for customers. They also help the company plan for growth in power use and power plant construction.

Martinez said changes in technology make updating lighting more practical.

"I don't think those early compact fluorescent lights did us any favors," he said. New ones are far less expensive, use far less electricity and will last up to 10 times longer than incandescent light bulbs.

That's something businesses should consider when they look at making their lighting more efficient, he said.

Martinez added that the past five years have brought incredible increases in energy saving technology. In the past five years, residential types of refrigerators have cut energy usage by 40 to 50 percent.
