ST. THOMAS, ON, Nov. 21, 2013 /CNW/ - Ascent Solutions Inc. is pleased to announce a new partnership with HD Utilities and Burman Energy for the provision of LED lighting conversions to Municipalities and ICI customers. Through the partnership, Ascent will provide warranted LED street lighting and commercial lighting conversions including engineering, procurement and construction. A 'first in the industry' Ascent's offering is backed by a ten year complete system warranty for labour and materials, essentially eliminating business risk for the customer. HD will offer a wide range of cobra head and decorative lighting products, controls and smart lighting technologies while Burman Energy, an accredited Ontario Power Authority (OPA) service provider, will handle administration of OPA financial incentives and energy analysis for Ontario Energy Board (OEB) reporting and Community Energy Plans.
The benefits of LED lighting are obvious with up to 70% energy savings and immediate savings to operating budgets. Typical conversions pay back within 5-7 years. Laurie Skinner, President and Chief Operating Officer of Ascent, said of the program "Ascent and its affiliates have been providing street lighting services to Municipalities for over 100 years; this new program brings our experience to the forefront and with offices across Ontario, we are well able to serve the future needs of our customers with an industry first warranty program." The Ascent program manages all aspects of the conversion including recycling of old fixtures, financing options and GPS mapping of inventories.
Mark Small, Director of Business Development Canada & Northern USA for HD Supply Power Solutions said of the partnership "We saw Ascent as a natural partner for this program given their reach across Ontario and their vast experience in high and medium voltage projects for ICI and Utility customers." The program leverages the buying power of Ascent and HD Utilities and is backed by two of the largest organizations in the industry. Bart Burman, President of Burman Energy, noted "This partnership enables us to work closely with our various utility and municipal clients across Ontario; we are excited to be part of the Ascent/HD partnership."
