Business Testimonials
Fairchild Record Services
The free energy walk-through I had at my two story office building with Thurston Energy and PSE was quick and informative. They sourced that the major energy upgrades I could do were overhead lighting and heating system. Thurston Energy connected me with a local lighting contractor to do the work and now I’m saving around $300 a month. Saving nearly $4000 a year on my energy bill is a big deal for a small business owner. I’m using these savings and accessing the Thurston Energy lending program to install solar panels on my building. Renee Ries – President, Fairchild Record Search and commercial property owner
Batdorf & Bronson
Batdorf & Bronson is a family owned, local coffee roaster celebrating our 25th anniversary. We are dedicated to sustainable and green practices. Thurston Energy and PSE sourced a glaring oversight in our green practices…the roasting room had 23 metal halides that we promptly upgraded to high output T-5’s. We appreciated the collaboration and assistance that Thurston Energy provided. The local utility rebated 60% of the cost and we’re saving nearly $2,000 a year on our energy bill. We feel better about the way we use energy and our employees are much happier at work because the lighting is much better quality. The partnership with Thurston Energy has led to on-going collaborations throughout our local community. Jim Unzicker, Maintenance Engineer – Batdorf & Bronson Coffee Roasters
West Coast Bank
Lacey Branch
We had an energy walk-through at our Lacey branch, and after running the numbers and realizing it made sense we took Thurston Energy up on their recommendations. We installed new lighting, new toilets and tuned up our heating & cooling system. The payoff in energy efficiency and lowering our operating costs has been realized. We’ve cut our lighting bill by a third and with PSE rebates the upgrade will pay for itself in under two years. We also eliminated problems with over-using water. This program is worthwhile and other businesses should take advantage of Thurston Energy’s commercial services. Tim Dowling, West Coast Bank – South Puget Sound President
