FAQs
What kinds of energy-efficient electrical fixtures do you install in Evensville homes and businesses?
Our technicians install a full range of high-efficiency products, including ENERGY STAR® LED ceiling fixtures, linear high-bay LEDs for shops and warehouses, low-voltage under-cabinet lighting, advanced occupancy/vacancy sensors, daylight-harvesting photo sensors, smart dimmer switches, high-efficiency ceiling fans, and low-standby-power exit signs. All fixtures we recommend are UL-listed, meet the latest NEC requirements, and are selected to match Evensville’s voltage and climate conditions.
How much can I save on my electric bill by upgrading to energy-efficient fixtures?
Savings vary with building size and operating hours, but most Evensville customers see lighting-related electricity costs drop 40–70 %. For example, replacing twelve 60 W incandescent cans with 9 W LEDs can cut annual consumption by about 1,800 kWh, saving roughly $210 a year at today’s local utility rates. Adding controls such as occupancy sensors typically delivers an extra 10–30 % reduction because lights shut off automatically when areas are unoccupied.
Do you assist with local utility rebates or TVA incentives for efficiency upgrades?
Yes. We document fixture counts, wattage reductions, and projected kWh savings, then complete and submit the rebate applications to your utility or the Tennessee Valley Authority’s EnergyRight program on your behalf. Most LED fixture retrofits in Evensville qualify for $0.03–$0.10 per kWh saved during the first year, which can offset 10–25 % of the project cost. We track approvals and ensure you receive the rebate check or bill credit promptly.
Will I need extensive rewiring or drywall work when I replace older fixtures?
In most cases, no. Modern LED retrofit kits are designed to fit existing junction boxes and troffer housings, so installation involves disconnecting the old ballast or socket, attaching the new driver/fixture, and reconnecting to the existing branch circuit. When rewiring is required—for example, to add a new dedicated dimming circuit or smart-switch line—we fish wires through attics or crawlspaces to minimize wall damage and always leave the site patched, painted, and code-compliant.
Are there financing programs or tax credits available for energy-efficiency electrical projects in Evensville?
Absolutely. Residential customers may claim a 30 % federal tax credit (up to $600 per fixture category) under the Inflation Reduction Act when installing qualifying ENERGY STAR lighting. Small businesses can take a federal deduction under IRC §179D for up to $5.00 per square foot of lighting upgrades that meet specific power-density targets. Locally, Volunteer Energy Cooperative offers 0 % on-bill financing for upgrades over $250, and TVA provides low-interest EnergyRight loans through participating banks. We walk you through each option and supply the necessary documentation.
How long does an average fixture retrofit take, and will operations be disrupted?
A typical single-family home retrofit (20–30 fixtures) is completed in one day. Small commercial spaces (up to 5,000 ft²) require one to two evenings after hours, while larger facilities are scheduled in zones so only a portion of the building is offline at any time. We coordinate with you in advance, isolate circuits before work begins, and remove debris daily, so your household or business experiences minimal downtime.
