Lighting as a Service

Designed to give our clients peace of mind with fixed energy costs and the latest LED lighting technology, our Light as a Service (LaaS) solution is a service-based business model whereby light is charged on a subscription basis (based on energy savings), enabling you to outsource lighting over a set time.

Unlike our Zero Capital Expenditure solution, Airis maintains the ownership of and thus responsibility for the equipment throughout the duration of the subscription contract. This means it does not fall foul of hire purchase financing restrictions typically found within funding guidelines.

Dealing with only one company, Airis Energy Solutions will be a complete single supply chain for the whole process, offering manufacture, design, financing, installation and maintenance of their lighting solutions.

How Does It Work?

The Lighting as a Service (Laas) process is simple and hassle free:

  • We assess the potential of the client’s premises and gather data relating to their current lighting electricity costs.
  • We then supply a forecasted savings projection per year over the lifetime of the lighting system, including the government’s forecasted increases to electricity costs.
  • We design, manufacture, supply, install, warranty and most importantly finance the entire project.
  • Electricity consumption is typically reduced by around 65% with high efficiency LEDs and our Exilis Smart Sensors can help achieve a further 60% savings over and above conventional LED technology.
  • A percentage of the generated savings are used to pay the Airis subscription for the lighting, with the remainder offering net savings to the client.
  • The typical length of an agreement is 5 years or longer.

Full parts and labour

As the product remains in our ownership, the subscription includes full parts and labour. Our clients are not required to touch the lighting system during the subscription period, thereby removing the costly requirement for access equipment, replacement lamps, labour and associated downtime.

 

Design and install

Our lighting designers and installers have an extensive knowledge of current lighting requirements for all business and public environments.

Airis have a wealth of experience working with business and public services to achieve valuable savings and will provide 3D lighting design plans where required prior to any project works.

Our install teams are committed to reducing the hassle of major works and will work around the client’s operating requirements 24/7.

Frequently Asked Questions

LaaS is a subscription-based model where lighting solutions, such as LED systems, are installed and maintained without upfront costs. Businesses pay a monthly fee, allowing them to upgrade to energy-efficient lighting while reducing energy consumption and carbon footprint. The savings on energy bills typically outweigh the monthly cost, leading to net cash savings.

LaaS provides energy-efficient LED lighting, which uses significantly less energy than traditional lighting. This reduction in energy consumption lowers the overall carbon emissions of your business, contributing to sustainability goals and helping meet any mandatory carbon reduction targets.

No, one of the main advantages of LaaS is that it requires no upfront capital expenditure. Instead, businesses can spread the cost of the lighting installation over time through a lease structure, making it more financially manageable.

The installation process is typically planned to minimise disruption to your business. Installers can work during off-peak hours or weekends, ensuring your operations continue as smoothly as possible.

If your business expands or moves, LaaS providers can often accommodate changes. They may modify or expand the lighting system to meet new requirements, or relocate the lighting system to your new premises under the existing agreement.

Yes, the energy-efficient LED systems provided through LaaS can help your business comply with UK regulations, such as the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) and Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES). By adopting LaaS, you can improve your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating and reduce regulatory risks.

Contract lengths for LaaS typically range from 5 to 10 years, depending on the terms agreed upon with the provider. The length of the contract is often determined by the payback period for the energy savings, and the expected lifespan of the lighting system. Some providers may offer flexibility in contract terms based on the school’s specific needs and budget.

Testimonial Fairhaven Golf Club

Following several recommendations, we engaged with Airis to deliver a solar project here at Fairhaven Golf Club. As an organisation, we prioritise sustainability throughout our working practices and to partner with a company that shared these values was most beneficial to the process. The project will see our annual grid consumption reduce by over 12% resulting in around 21,000 kWh of energy each year being generated. During the planning stages, we encountered several issues which the team at Airis helped to resolve. Their understanding, flexibility and practice applications made the whole process seamless. We could not recommend Airis more highly.

Testimonial Cairngorm Capital, London

The change to LED has been a switch we’ve been considering for a few years. It was just a matter of finding the right partner with the expertise to deliver it across all our sites. Airis Energy Solutions not only made it happen, but they upgraded 29 of our sites simultaneously with upfront costs kept to a bare minimum. The results speak for themselves.

John Douglas, Cairngorm Capital, London
Testimonial Hambleton Primary Academy, Over Wyre

We sourced Airis Energy Solutions alongside the Green Business Fund / Carbon Trust to install a full school LED Smart Lighting system. All our lighting was extremely outdated and was failing more frequently, at a significant cost each time. There is no capital outlay and the installation of new lights was a very efficient process, with all the old lighting being taken off-site afterwards. It has significantly improved the appearance around school, has reduced our maintenance costs to zero, reduced our CO2 emissions and will reduce our energy consumption over time.

To the Airis team. Just to let you know that we’re really happy with the work and the difference in the quality of the lighting. Your guys were a credit to you with their work ethic, getting so much done at night and also over weekends. I am more than happy to recommend your services in the future.

Testimonial RAP Spiderweb LTD, Manchester

From start to finish Dave and his colleagues were fantastic to deal with. Very straight forward and completely transparent about the service. We are extremely pleased with the outcome and would happily recommend Airis to anyone who is interested. We had no disruption to our very busy factory and the fitters could not do enough. All in all, an excellent job!

As a business owner, I’m always trying to save money. It wasn’t until I worked with Airis Energy Solutions that I realised just how much money I was needlessly spending on energy. Thank-you.

Testimonial Athertons Carpets, Blackpool

I would be more than happy to recommend the Airis scheme and service. We have had all our lighting replaced with the Airis scheme, with this we have had no outlay or cost to ourselves.We are delighted with the results and would therefore recommend Airis to other businesses like ourselves.

Testimonial Chiltern Railways, London Marylebone Railway Station

This is fantastic. Well done to everyone especially Andy S, Kathy, Chris, Paul and the Airis team on the ground. You have all worked really hard to get the lights in and I am conscious that you have worked across the Easter weekend to get this done, thank you I appreciate this. There has been minimal disruption to our customers and our teams. Great work really pleased with the results!
