Our ideallygreen^® initiative makes it easy for you to go green while saving money and natural resources. Our selection of environmentally preferable products and practices can help you reduce utility bills, increase energy efficiency at your property or facility, and lower your environmental impact.

Committed to Your Business & the Environment

Sustainability goes beyond just turning off the lights. Going green is a commitment to conserving resources, recycling, and increasing energy efficiency. By communicating your sustainability efforts to residents and guests, you also help boost profits and customer satisfaction. Building a sustainability plan helps your property or facility:

Reduce Utility Bills: energy and water-efficient products contribute to lower operating costs, saving you money.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership: environmentally preferable products may cost more up front, but they'll save much more when you consider energy and replacement costs over the life of the product.
Become More Environmentally Friendly: efficient products help conserve valuable water and energy and reduce waste going to landfills.
Attract More Residents & Guests: publicize your sustainability initiatives and bring in more business.

HD Supply Canada, Inc supports your commitment to sustainability by offering environmentally preferable products in 5 key categories:

Energy Efficiency

Appliances, ceiling fans, and lighting help reduce utility costs and greenhouse gas emissions by using less energy.

Water Conservation

Save money on water and water heating and preserve natural resources with low-flow faucets, toilets, toilet repair, and shower heads.

Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ)

Improve indoor air quality with air filters, Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) certified vacuums, and sustainable cleaning products.

Waste Reduction

Minimize the amount of material entering landfills by using reusable, reclaimed, and recyclable items. Products such as trash liners, recycling containers, and lamp recycling kits reduce your environmental impact.

Hazardous Material Disposal

Properly dispose of hazardous materials that can be destructive to the environment and potentially harmful to human health.

Going Green? Start with LED Lighting

LED lighting is an environmentally preferable and cost-effective alternative to conventional bulbs indoors and out. Six reasons to consider LED lighting:

Longer Life: LED bulbs have an average working life of up to 50,000 hours versus incandescent bulbs that average about 1,200 hours. At 12 hours a day, that equates to 11 years of maintenance-free operation.
Energy Efficiency: LED lighting is today's most efficient form of lighting. LED bulbs are 80 to 90% more energy efficient than conventional lighting.
Sustainability: One LED bulb can last as long as 50 incandescent bulbs, reducing waste and maintenance costs. Unlike most fluorescent bulbs, LEDs do not contain toxic chemicals.
Variety of Sizes & Shapes: LEDs are available in most common bulb shapes, including A-Shape, PAR (halogen), BR (reflector), MR-16 (halogen), and more. LED fixtures are available in a variety of popular styles and finishes to match your property's look.
Durability: LEDs are great for outdoor applications and can withstand wind, rain, shock, and vibrations.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership: The money-saving value of LEDs comes from lower electricity costs, fewer bulb replacements, and their long, maintenance-free life.

Lighting Audits Save You Time & Money

If your property or facility has any of the inefficient lighting below, it is a great candidate for a lighting audit from HD Supply Canada, Inc:

Incandescent and halogen bulbs, especially those left on 24/7
T12 linear bulbs
High Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting, such as exterior wall packs and parking lot fixtures
Any kind of lighting in hard-to-reach areas such as cathedral ceilings, tall poles, etc.

How Lighting Audits Work

An HD Supply Canada, Inc sales representative, along with a lighting expert (in most areas), will meet with you on site, walk your property, and assess existing lighting. Afterward, they will recommend energy-efficient replacements based on your needs and budget.
