FAQs
What kinds of lighting upgrades do you offer in Andersonville?
We design and install a full spectrum of upgrades, including high-efficiency LED retrofits, smart controls (occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting, dimming schedules), feature lighting for retail and hospitality, exterior security and parking-lot illumination, and complete panel or circuit reconfigurations when additional load balance is needed. Every solution is engineered around your building’s layout, your light-level goals, and Andersonville’s current energy code.
How will a customized lighting solution reduce my energy bills?
Modern LEDs use up to 75 % less electricity than older fluorescent or incandescent fixtures and last 5–10 times longer, slashing both kWh consumption and maintenance costs. When we add smart controls, most customers see an additional 20–40 % savings by dimming or turning off lights when spaces are unoccupied or natural daylight is sufficient. After we complete a site audit, we model your existing usage versus the proposed system so you can see an estimated payback period—usually 1.5–3 years for commercial projects in Andersonville.
What is the typical process and timeline for a lighting-upgrade project?
1) Free on-site assessment (1–2 hours) to measure current fixtures, light levels, and wiring. 2) Custom proposal with photometric layouts, ROI analysis, and product spec sheets (3–5 business days). 3) Permit application with the Andersonville Building Department, usually approved within 5–10 days. 4) Installation: small offices take 1-2 days, midsize retail/warehouse spaces 1–2 weeks, scheduled to minimize downtime. 5) Final inspection and commissioning of controls. You receive as-built documentation, warranty certificates, and training on any app-based systems.
Do I need permits, and do you handle inspections?
Yes. Andersonville requires an electrical alteration permit for most commercial lighting upgrades and a final inspection to verify code compliance. Our licensed electricians pull all necessary permits, coordinate with the city inspector, and provide the load calculations, spec sheets, and one-line diagrams the city asks for. You simply sign the permit application; we handle the rest.
Can I take advantage of rebates or tax incentives?
Absolutely. Andersonville businesses served by the local utility qualify for EnergySmart rebates on LED fixtures, networked controls, and de-lamps, usually covering 15–40 % of project cost. Federal Section 179D deductions can provide up to $1.88 per square foot if your upgrade meets certain efficiency thresholds. Our team prepares all rebate paperwork and submits the post-installation measurement & verification data so you receive funds quickly.
Do you retrofit existing fixtures, or must they be replaced?
We assess each fixture’s condition and recommend the most cost-effective path. Many troffers and downlights can accept LED retrofit kits that preserve your ceiling grid and minimize waste. However, fixtures with poor housings, outdated ballasts, or incompatible optics are often better replaced with new, warrantied luminaires. In either case, we recycle removed lamps and ballasts according to Andersonville’s environmental guidelines and maximize your long-term energy and maintenance savings.
