FAQs
What types of energy-efficient light fixtures do you install in Etowah homes and businesses?
We install a full range of high-efficiency fixtures, including LED recessed cans, linear LED troffers, under-cabinet strip lights, ENERGY STAR–rated ceiling fans with integrated lights, and outdoor LED wall packs and pole lights. All products we recommend carry UL listings and DLC or ENERGY STAR certifications to ensure maximum performance, safety, and energy savings for Etowah’s climate and utility standards.
How much can I save by switching to LED lighting?
LED fixtures typically use 60–80 % less electricity than incandescent or halogen bulbs and about 35–50 % less than standard fluorescents. For an average Etowah household replacing 40 bulbs, that can translate to $150–$250 in annual utility savings. Commercial properties often see paybacks in 12–24 months, with ongoing reductions of thousands of kilowatt-hours per year thereafter.
Are there rebates or tax incentives available in Etowah for energy-saving electrical upgrades?
Yes. TVA’s EnergyRight program and local utility rebates often cover a portion of LED upgrades, occupancy sensors, and efficient motors. Tennessee also offers state tax credits for certain commercial retrofits, and federal Section 179D deductions may apply to larger buildings. We help customers gather invoices, spec sheets, and utility forms so they can claim every qualifying incentive.
Will new fixtures work with my existing wiring and switches?
In most cases, yes. Modern LED fixtures are designed to retrofit into standard 120-V or 277-V circuits. If you have older dimmers or multi-way switches, we test compatibility and recommend low-cost upgrades where needed. Our licensed electricians verify load calculations and grounding to meet NEC codes, so your new fixtures integrate seamlessly with existing wiring.
How long does an energy-efficient lighting retrofit take?
A typical single-family home can be completed in one day. Small retail or office spaces (up to 5,000 sq ft) usually take 1–2 evenings or a weekend to minimize business disruption. Larger industrial facilities are phased zone by zone, often finishing within 1–3 weeks. We provide a detailed schedule in advance and remove all old lamps and ballasts for proper recycling.
How do smart controls and sensors enhance energy savings?
When paired with efficient fixtures, occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting sensors, and programmable smart switches can add 15–40 % extra savings by ensuring lights run only when needed. Our team configures timers, wireless apps, and building-management integrations so you can monitor usage and make real-time adjustments from anywhere, further lowering Etowah energy bills and extending fixture life.
