History of FES

Thirteen years ago, the founder of FES set out to sell LED lighting systems. When he found out most customers weren’t interested in switching to LED, his problem turned into an opportunity...

It was more than just selling lights, it was offering a service that would save customers money. And so, Lighting-as-a-Service (LaaS) was born.

To date, our LaaS model has saved 200 schools across the country over $1.1M each year.

"We’ve saved thousands of dollars on our lighting bills since FES changed the lighting at our school. There’s a big difference. The new lights are brighter and illuminate the whole area. All the dark spots are gone, which is important for school safety.”

-Richard Jean, Principal

In 2019, our program evolved to offer our lighting services to early learning centers.

In six months, we piloted our LaaS program with one Goddard School location and now work with many nationwide.

The only way to capture the saving ability of LED lighting is to find a partnership built to last.

So, what’s the catch?

There is no catch! Honest.

Out of the total energy savings that we can achieve for your facility, we share in the savings.

You receive 25% and we receive 75% of the energy savings.

This is a no-investment scenario where you can have a better, more efficient lighting system without at zero cost.

How many people that knock on your door can say that?

The Goddard Schools Exclusive

How does it work?

  • FES will perform a free energy site audit for any Goddard School to determine if you are a good match.
  • Once approved, we send the lights directly to your building, and we hire and pay a local contractor to install them.
  • On top of that - we’ll pay the contractor for 15 years to ensure the lights are in an optimal condition at no charge to the Goddard School!
