FAQs
What types of energy-efficient lighting fixtures do you install in the Lynchburg area?
We install a full range of ENERGY STAR®-rated fixtures, including LED recessed cans, smart LED ceiling lights, high-efficiency fluorescent troffers, outdoor LED flood and security lights, under-cabinet LED strips, and decorative pendants and chandeliers designed for LED lamps. We can also retrofit existing incandescent or CFL fixtures with LED conversion kits to maximize savings without changing your décor.
How much can I expect to save on my electric bill by switching to LED lighting?
Most homeowners in Lynchburg see lighting energy use drop by 60–80 %. For example, replacing ten 60-watt incandescent bulbs with 10-watt LEDs that operate 3 hours a day saves about 450 kWh per year—roughly $55–$60 annually at current AEP Appalachian Power rates. Commercial facilities with longer burn times can realize thousands of dollars in annual savings and may qualify for utility rebates.
Are there rebates or incentives available in Lynchburg for upgrading to energy-efficient lighting?
Yes. Appalachian Power’s Virginia Energy Efficiency programs offer prescriptive and custom rebates for residential and commercial LED upgrades, often covering 20–50 % of project costs. Federal tax deductions under IRS Section 179D and accelerated depreciation (Bonus Depreciation) can further reduce payback for commercial projects. Our team will handle the paperwork and ensure your installation meets all program requirements.
Can you integrate smart controls like dimmers and occupancy sensors with new LED fixtures?
Absolutely. We install Wi-Fi and Zigbee smart switches, app-controlled dimmers, daylight-harvesting sensors, vacancy/occupancy sensors, and centralized lighting control panels. These controls can boost energy savings by an additional 20–30 %, extend lamp life, and give you convenient scheduling and remote access through platforms like Google Home or Amazon Alexa.
Will new LED fixtures match the color and brightness of my existing lights?
Modern LEDs come in a wide range of color temperatures (2700 K warm white to 5000 K daylight) and color-rendering indexes (CRI 90+), so we can closely replicate or improve upon the look of your current lighting. During our free on-site consultation we bring sample lamps and fixtures so you can see firsthand how different options will appear in your space before you commit.
How long does a typical residential or small business retrofit take, and will it disrupt my daily routine?
Most residential projects are completed in one day. A small office or retail space usually takes 1–2 evenings or weekends to avoid downtime. We begin with a detailed audit, order fixtures, and schedule installation at your convenience. Our licensed electricians protect floors and furniture, handle all disposal of old lamps (including proper recycling of CFLs), and leave the site cleaner than we found it.
