FAQs
What are the most popular energy-efficient lighting fixtures you install for Sequatchie homes and businesses?
Light-emitting diode (LED) fixtures are the top choice because they use up to 75% less electricity and last 25 times longer than incandescent or halogen bulbs. We also install ENERGY STAR–rated ceiling fans with integrated LEDs, motion-sensor security lights, and smart Wi-Fi–enabled fixtures that let you dim or schedule lights remotely for added savings.
How much money can I expect to save after upgrading to LED or other high-efficiency fixtures?
Savings vary with usage, but a typical Sequatchie household that replaces ten 60-watt incandescent bulbs with 9-watt LED equivalents saves roughly $90–$120 per year on electricity. Commercial clients see even larger gains—often 40%–60% lighting-cost reductions—because of longer operating hours and higher wattages. LEDs also reduce HVAC loads since they emit less heat, delivering additional indirect savings.
Are there local incentives or rebates available in Sequatchie County for energy-efficient lighting upgrades?
Yes. Sequatchie utility customers can apply for TVA’s EnergyRight lighting rebates, which commonly cover $2–$4 per LED lamp for homes and provide per-fixture or per-watt incentives for commercial retrofits. In addition, federal tax credits of up to 30% may be available on qualifying ENERGY STAR fixtures and controls when installed by a licensed electrician. We handle all paperwork to help you secure every eligible incentive.
Can my existing fixtures be retrofitted, or do they need full replacement?
Many traditional fluorescent troffers and incandescent housings can be retrofitted with LED retrofit kits or plug-and-play tubular LEDs, saving on material costs and reducing demolition debris. However, fixtures with outdated wiring, damaged sockets, or poor heat dissipation are better replaced entirely to ensure safety, optimal efficiency, and full warranty coverage. During our on-site assessment, we’ll outline both options so you can choose the best balance of cost and performance.
How long does an energy-efficient fixture installation take, and will it disrupt my daily routine?
Most residential projects—such as swapping twenty interior fixtures—are completed within one day. Commercial installations are usually phased outside peak operating hours; we can work evenings or weekends to minimize downtime. Our technicians protect floors and furniture, dispose of old bulbs per EPA guidelines, and test every new fixture before leaving, so disruption is minimal.
What should I look for when selecting an ENERGY STAR or DLC-listed fixture?
Check the lumens (brightness) rather than watts, choose a color temperature that suits the space (2700–3000K for warm ambience, 4000K+ for task areas), and verify CRI (Color Rendering Index) of 80+ for accurate color. ENERGY STAR and DLC logos guarantee rigorous efficiency and longevity standards, but ensure the product is dimmable if you plan to add smart or manual dimmers. Finally, confirm the warranty—quality fixtures offer at least five-year coverage on both driver and LEDs.
