What Differentiates Us

Most of us at AE did not come from within ‘industry.’ Therefore, we have always opted to pursue the ‘common sense’ approach vs. the ‘industry norm’ approach which is often not in the customers best interest. We seek to set ourselves apart by:

• Always working directly with the end user as the ‘prime contractor.’ This means we typically avoid partnerships with other energy service companies (“ESCO’s”) and ultimately reduce layers of markup to you, our customer.

• We largely serve one profile of customer with one service (LED retrofitting). We seek to be the most proficient at what we do. You could say our goal is to become the ‘Southwest Airlines’ of LED lighting retrofits.

• Our service is about dollars and cents for the customer – we offer solutions that create as much energy savings as possible relative to as low of a cost as possible.

• We control the supply chain – often by the time a school district buys LED lights it has been marked up 5-7x as it traveled through the traditional global supply chain. We seek to import directly and cut out the ‘middle man,’ thus passing those cost savings onto our customers.

• We are conservative – we seek to always ‘under promise and overdeliver’ as it relates to what we say we can deliver on. All of our business comes from referrals of happy customers.

• We can typically start any project within 2-3 weeks of a purchase order.
