FAQs
What advantages will I see by upgrading my existing fixtures to high-efficiency LEDs?
LED lighting typically uses 50–75 % less electricity than traditional fluorescent or incandescent lamps, instantly lowering your monthly utility bill. LEDs also last 5–10 times longer, which means fewer lamp changes, lower maintenance costs, and less waste going to landfills. Because LEDs run cooler, they reduce air-conditioning load as well. Modern LED luminaires deliver higher color-rendering accuracy and more uniform light distribution, improving visual comfort and safety in homes, offices, and industrial spaces throughout Andersonville.
How do smart controls and occupancy sensors further cut my energy costs?
Pairing LED fixtures with networked controls—motion sensors, daylight harvesting photocells, time-clock scheduling, and wireless dimmers—ensures lights operate only when and where they are needed. Studies show that adding intelligent controls can generate an extra 25–40 % energy savings on top of the LED efficiency gains. Our team programs the system to your exact usage patterns and provides a mobile dashboard so you can monitor consumption, create scenes, and make adjustments in real time from anywhere.
Do you handle permits and ensure code compliance for Andersonville projects?
Yes. Every lighting upgrade we perform is designed and installed in accordance with the latest Chicago Electrical Code and applicable IECC energy standards. We prepare all permit paperwork, submit it to the city, and schedule inspections, sparing you the administrative hassle. On completion you receive a signed inspection certificate and all fixture cut sheets to document compliance for insurance, resale, or tax-credit purposes.
How long will my lighting retrofit take and will it disrupt daily operations?
A typical single-family home upgrade can be completed in one day, while small commercial spaces average two to three days. Larger facilities may require phased work over one to two weeks. We conduct a pre-site audit to map circuits, then schedule installation during off-hours or weekends when requested. Our technicians use lift equipment and modular fixtures that speed up replacement and minimize dust or debris, so most clients experience little to no downtime.
Are there rebates or tax incentives available for lighting upgrades in Andersonville?
Absolutely. ComEd’s Energy Efficiency Program currently offers prescriptive and custom rebates for qualifying LED fixtures, controls, and retrofits—often covering 20–40 % of project costs. Federal tax deductions under IRC §179D may provide additional savings for commercial buildings that achieve specified lighting power densities. We handle the paperwork, submit rebate applications, and supply all manufacturer data so you receive the maximum incentive without added effort.
Is your team certified to install advanced lighting technologies?
Our electricians are Illinois-licensed and OSHA-10/30 trained. They also hold manufacturer certifications from leading smart-lighting platforms such as Lutron Vive, Philips Interact, and nLight Air. Continuous training keeps us current on emerging technologies like PoE (Power over Ethernet) luminaires and Bluetooth Mesh networks, ensuring your system is installed safely, commissioned correctly, and backed by full factory warranties.
