The challenge

Majestic Mountain Care Center needed brighter, more reliable lighting across resident rooms, hallways, and common areas — a 24/7 care environment where outages and dim, aging fixtures affect safety. With AB 2208 driving fluorescent lamp shortages and rising maintenance costs, the facility needed a durable, long-term solution that wouldn't pull capital from operations.

The solution

NRG Incentives packaged a full LED retrofit and funded it through PG&E's On-Bill Financing program — so the upgrade moved forward with no capital allocation and no out-of-pocket cost, with monthly repayment matched to the energy savings.

We’ve used the same power-save program at every one of our facilities. Not only is there no out-of-pocket cost — we saw savings the very first month it was installed.

The results

The retrofit delivers $12,456.40 in annual energy savings — about $1,038.03 a month — recovering the $59,977.32 project cost in roughly 4.81 yrs, then compounding into net savings while the new lighting keeps working. Crews and residents get even, glare-free light with far less maintenance strain.
