FAQs

What types of energy-efficient lighting fixtures do you install in Philadelphia homes and businesses?

We install a full range of high-efficiency fixtures, including LED recessed downlights, flat-panel troffers, strip lights, vapor-tight fixtures, decorative LED pendants and chandeliers, outdoor wall packs, pole lights, and integrated smart fixtures with built-in sensors. All products we recommend are ENERGY STAR® or DesignLights Consortium® (DLC) listed, ensuring verified performance and energy savings.

How much can I save on my electric bill by switching to LED lighting?

Most clients see lighting energy use drop 50–80 %. For example, replacing a 60 W incandescent bulb with a 10 W LED of equal brightness saves about $5–$7 per socket per year at Philadelphia’s average electric rate (≈14 ¢/kWh). In commercial settings, converting 32 W T8 fluorescents to 12–15 W LED tubes cuts annual operating costs by roughly $20 per lamp and often pays for itself in less than two years.

Are there rebates or incentives available in Philadelphia for energy-efficient lighting upgrades?

Yes. PECO’s Act 129 Energy-Efficiency Program offers prescriptive and custom rebates for qualified LED fixtures, lamps, occupancy sensors, and networked lighting controls. Residential customers typically receive $1–$4 per bulb, while commercial rebates range from $10 to more than $50 per fixture. We handle all paperwork—including pre-approval, documentation, and final submission—so you receive the incentive as a bill credit or check once the project is complete.

How long does a typical energy-efficient lighting retrofit take?

Most residential projects are completed in one day with minimal disruption. Small retail or office retrofits (under 5,000 sq ft) usually take one to two nights after hours. Larger commercial facilities may require phased installation over several days to avoid downtime. We perform a detailed walkthrough beforehand, schedule work during off-peak hours, and dispose of old lamps and ballasts in accordance with Philadelphia’s recycling regulations.

Will energy-efficient fixtures provide the same brightness and light quality as my current fixtures?

Absolutely. Modern LEDs are available in every color temperature—from warm 2700 K to daylight 5000 K—and deliver high color-rendering index (CRI 90+) for vibrant, accurate light. Because LEDs are directional, they often increase usable illumination while reducing glare and shadows. During our consultation we perform photometric calculations to match or improve your existing light levels, ensuring you get the appearance and comfort you want.

Do your installations comply with Philadelphia and Pennsylvania electrical codes?

Yes. All work is performed by licensed Philadelphia master electricians and inspected under the 2018 Philadelphia Administrative and ICC Electrical Codes. We pull the required permits, follow NEC 2023 standards, use UL-listed components, and provide a signed Certificate of Approval once the city’s L&I inspector clears the job. This guarantees safety, maintains property value, and protects your warranty and insurance coverage.
