FAQs
What advantages will I see by switching to LED lighting in Newcomb?
LEDs consume up to 80 % less electricity than halogen or incandescent lamps, instantly lowering your power bills. They also last 25–50 times longer, which means fewer globe changes and lower maintenance costs. In addition, modern LEDs generate far less heat, reducing fire risk and the load on air-conditioning. Because they contain no mercury and are fully recyclable, they are the most environmentally friendly choice for homes and businesses in Newcomb.
How much money can I expect to save with an energy-efficient lighting upgrade?
Savings depend on the number of fittings replaced, your current tariff, and how many hours the lights run each day. As a guide, households in Newcomb that replace ten 50 W halogen downlights with 8 W LED equivalents save about $200–$250 per year. Commercial clients with long operating hours often recover their investment in 12–24 months, with ongoing savings of 50–70 % on lighting energy costs after pay-back.
Can new LED fittings be installed on my existing wiring and switches?
In most cases, yes. Quality LED downlights and tubes are designed to retrofit into standard 240 V circuits or existing fluorescent battens. Our licensed electricians first test the wiring, remove any obsolete transformers, and install dimmable drivers if required. If your switchboard or cabling is outdated or unsafe, we will advise on cost-effective upgrades to ensure everything meets AS/NZS 3000 electrical standards.
Are there rebates or incentives available for lighting upgrades in Newcomb?
Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) certificates can substantially reduce the up-front cost of eligible LED products. Our team is an accredited provider under the scheme, so we handle the paperwork and apply the discount directly to your invoice. We also monitor local council sustainability grants and will let you know if any additional funding is available when you book your assessment.
How long does a typical lighting upgrade take and will my daily activities be disrupted?
A standard residential retrofit of 20–30 fittings usually takes 3–4 hours. Small retail and office spaces are completed within a day, while larger commercial projects may be staged after hours or on weekends to minimise downtime. Our electricians protect floors and furniture, work in clean zones, and dispose of old lamps responsibly, so you can continue running your household or business with minimal interruption.
What warranty and after-sales support do you provide for your energy-efficient lighting solutions?
All LED products we install carry a minimum manufacturer’s warranty of 3–5 years, and many high-end fittings are covered for 7 years. Our workmanship is guaranteed for life, meaning if an installation fault occurs, we fix it free of charge. We also offer an optional annual lighting audit, checking lumen output, emergency fittings, and control gear to ensure your system continues to perform at optimal efficiency.
