FAQs
What types of lighting upgrades provide the greatest energy savings?
Replacing incandescent, halogen or older fluorescent fittings with high-efficiency LEDs delivers the biggest reduction in electricity use—typically 60–85%. Additional savings come from installing smart controls such as occupancy sensors, daylight-harvesting dimmers and programmable timers that turn lights off or down when full output isn’t needed.
How much can Kelso households or businesses expect to save on power bills after an LED retrofit?
Most Kelso homes see lighting-related electricity costs drop by 60–75%, while commercial sites often achieve 50–70% overall lighting savings. For a typical three-bedroom house this equates to $200–$350 in annual bill reductions; for a 1,000 m² warehouse or retail space it can exceed $3,000 per year, meaning payback periods of 1–3 years depending on operating hours.
Are there rebates or incentives available in Kelso or the wider NSW/ACT region for energy-efficient lighting?
Yes. The NSW Energy Savings Scheme (ESS) and occasionally local council grants offer subsidies that cover part of the product and installation cost for approved high-efficiency lighting. Our team handles the paperwork, confirms eligibility and deducts the rebate upfront so you receive the discount immediately rather than waiting for a refund.
Will new LED fittings work with my existing wiring and dimmer controls?
In most cases, yes. Modern LED fixtures operate on standard 230 V circuits. Where legacy dimmers are incompatible, we can supply LED-rated dimmers or retrofit drivers so you retain full dimming functionality. A free site inspection lets us confirm compatibility before any work begins.
How long does a typical residential or commercial lighting upgrade take?
A standard home can be completed in 3–6 hours with minimal disruption. Small offices or retail spaces usually take one business day. Larger commercial or industrial sites may require staged installation over several evenings or weekends to avoid downtime, but we schedule work around your operational needs.
What maintenance and warranty coverage is included with your energy-efficient lighting solutions?
All LED products we install carry a minimum 5-year manufacturer’s warranty on both lamps and drivers. Expected lifespan is 50,000+ hours—about 15–20 years of normal use—so routine bulb replacements are virtually eliminated. We provide one free post-installation check within the first year and offer optional maintenance agreements for periodic cleaning, testing and control-system updates.
