FAQs

What types of energy-efficient lighting fixtures do you recommend for homes in Apison?

We typically recommend ENERGY STAR®–rated LED recessed cans, surface-mount LEDs, and modern LED pendant or flush-mount fixtures. LEDs use up to 75% less electricity than incandescent bulbs, last 15–25 years, and perform well in Apison’s warm, humid climate because they generate less heat.

How much can I save by switching my existing fixtures to LEDs?

A household that replaces all incandescent or halogen bulbs with equivalent LEDs can reduce lighting energy use by 50–80%. For the average Apison home using roughly 1,200 kWh per year on lighting, that translates to an estimated annual savings of $120–$160 on your EPB or TVA energy bill, paying back the upgrade cost in 1–2 years.

Are dimmers and smart switches compatible with LED fixtures?

Yes, but it’s important to use LED-rated dimmers or smart switches. Traditional incandescent dimmers can cause LEDs to flicker or fail prematurely. We install UL-listed, forward-phase or ELV dimmers that match your fixture’s driver, or Wi-Fi/Z-Wave smart switches that let you schedule and monitor energy use from your phone.

Can energy-efficient fixtures improve indoor comfort as well as save power?

Absolutely. LEDs emit far less heat than incandescent or CFL bulbs, which means your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard—especially valuable during Apison’s hot summers. Cooler running fixtures also reduce fire risk and keep living spaces more comfortable.

Do you offer rebates or financing for energy-efficient electrical upgrades in Apison?

Yes. Through the TVA EnergyRight® program, Apison homeowners may qualify for rebates of $0.30–$0.50 per watt reduced when upgrading to qualifying LED fixtures. We’ll handle the paperwork and apply the rebate as an instant discount on your invoice. For larger projects, we can arrange 0% interest on-bill financing through local utility partners.

How long does installation of new energy-efficient fixtures take and will it disrupt my home?

Most fixture swaps take 15–30 minutes each. A whole-home LED retrofit averages 3–5 hours for a typical 2,000-sq-ft residence. We schedule work at your convenience, use drop cloths to protect floors, and clean up all packaging and old bulbs for recycling, ensuring minimal disruption to your daily routine.
