Golling Automotive Group
Background
Golling Auto Group is proud to be a premier auto group on the east side of Michigan. The award-winning auto dealership believes in showing each person who walks through their doors the “Golling Difference.” Since 1966, Bill Golling has been fulfilling his passions by working in the car business and serving the community.
Golling trusted CGE Energy to improve their customers’ evening experience by upgrading four of the dealership’s parking lots to energy efficient Cree LED lighting. The upgrade includes Golling locations in Lake Orion, Bloomfield Hills, and two in Waterford, Michigan.
CGE Energy has reduced the dealership’s energy usage by 79%. The overall number of fixtures used decreased by 20% — from 413 to 345. CGE helped Golling qualify to receive $57,885 in energy rebates which reduced the total project cost.
The Golling Automotive Group is also part of CGE Energy’s R.A.M.P. Lighting Maintenance program. CGE Energy covers 126,000 square feet of Golling’s interior showrooms as well as all exterior lighting. This worry-free lighting maintenance service enables Golling to focus on their customers, and not on repairing burnt out light fixtures.
“I am very pleased with the light levels and how the lighting looks,” said Joe Ellsasser, General Manager at Golling Automotive Group. “We’re saving money from day one, and we’re doing it in a very environmentally responsible way.”
