FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my lighting to energy-efficient LED fixtures?
LED upgrades cut electricity use by 50–80 %, last up to 50,000 hours, and emit far less heat than traditional lamps. Beyond lower bills, you’ll reduce maintenance costs, improve light quality, and shrink your carbon footprint—an important consideration for homes and businesses in Kelso that want to meet Scottish Government climate targets.
What types of lighting upgrades do you offer for homes and businesses in Kelso?
We design and install a full range of high-efficiency solutions: LED downlights, linear battens, high-bay and low-bay fittings, exterior floodlights, smart controls (occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting), emergency luminaires, and heritage-style LED lamps that preserve the character of older Kelso properties while cutting energy use.
How much energy and cost savings can I expect after an LED retrofit?
Typical projects in the Borders show paybacks of 1–3 years. A small home replacing 20 halogen spots can save about £150–£200 per year, while a medium-sized Kelso warehouse switching from 400 W metal-halides to 150 W LEDs can save over £3,000 annually. We provide a free site survey with a detailed savings report before any work begins.
Will the installation disrupt my day-to-day operations?
No. Our NICEIC-approved electricians schedule work around your routine—nights, weekends, or phased areas—to keep downtime to a minimum. Most domestic projects finish in a single day; commercial retrofits are planned zone-by-zone so your staff can keep working safely without major interruption.
Are there grants or rebates available to help fund the upgrade?
Yes. Businesses may qualify for interest-free loans from the Scottish Government’s SME Loan Scheme, while households can tap into Home Energy Scotland grants and 0 % finance. We handle the paperwork—energy audits, payback calculations, photographs—so you receive the maximum incentive without the hassle.
What is involved in an energy-efficiency lighting audit and how do I get started?
A certified assessor visits your site, logs every existing fitting, records operating hours, and measures lux levels. We then create a proposal comparing current consumption with the proposed LED scheme, including capital cost, savings, carbon reduction, and payback period.
