FAQs
What types of cutting-edge lighting technologies do you install in Altamont homes and businesses?
We design and install high-efficiency LED fixtures, tunable-white and RGBW luminaires, PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) lighting systems, occupancy and daylight-harvesting sensors, smart wireless controls (Bluetooth, Zigbee, Z-Wave), and integrated building-management interfaces. All products are UL/ETL listed and selected for long life, low glare, and superior color rendering.
How much energy can I save by upgrading to LED and smart lighting?
Altamont customers typically cut lighting energy use by 50–80 %. LEDs consume up to 75 % less electricity than legacy incandescent or metal-halide lamps, and smart controls add another 10–30 % in savings by dimming or switching lights off automatically when spaces are unoccupied or when sufficient daylight is available.
Will the new fixtures work with my existing wiring and control systems?
In most cases, yes. We conduct a free on-site audit to assess your current wiring, switch legs, and panel capacity. For simple LED retrofits, the existing 120/277 V circuits stay in place. When advanced controls or PoE lighting are desired, we can either adapt them to your present wiring or run low-voltage data cables without major demolition. Our technicians ensure everything integrates seamlessly with your current switches, building automation, or smart-home platforms.
What is the typical installation timeline and process?
Residential projects usually take one day to one week, depending on home size and fixture count. Commercial upgrades range from a weekend retrofit to multi-phase rollouts. The process includes: 1) site survey and design; 2) proposal with photometric layouts; 3) scheduling; 4) clean, minimally invasive installation; 5) programming and commissioning of controls; 6) final walkthrough and user training.
Are there local incentives or rebates available in Altamont or New York State for lighting upgrades?
Yes. National Grid and NYSERDA offer prescriptive and custom rebates for qualifying LED fixtures, networked lighting controls, and advanced occupancy sensors. We handle the paperwork, submit pre-approval forms, and deduct the incentive amount directly from your invoice so you see the savings immediately.
How do you ensure the safety and code compliance of your electrical lighting upgrades?
All work is performed by licensed master electricians who follow the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) and New York State building codes. We obtain any required village or county permits, label all circuits, and schedule inspections. Every fixture is grounded, drivers are surge-protected, and controls are programmed within manufacturer specifications to guarantee safe, reliable operation for decades.
