FAQs
What qualifies as an “advanced lighting technology” upgrade?
Our upgrades center on high-efficiency LED luminaires, smart controls (occupancy/vacancy sensors, daylight harvesting, and scheduling), and networked lighting management systems. We evaluate your existing fluorescent, HID, or incandescent fixtures and replace or retrofit them with ENERGY STAR®/DesignLights Consortium® listed products that provide higher output per watt, longer life (50,000–100,000 hours), and fully adjustable color temperatures.
How much energy can I expect to save, and what is the typical payback period?
Most Talbott homes and businesses see 50–75 % reductions in lighting electricity use after conversion to LEDs with controls. When combined with utility incentives, the simple payback period generally falls between 18 months and 3 years. We provide a free energy audit and ROI report that includes kWh savings, maintenance cost avoidance, and lifecycle financial projections so you can make an informed decision.
Will the new LED fixtures work with my existing wiring and dimming systems?
In most cases, yes. We offer plug-and-play lamps for T8/T12 fluorescent sockets, ballast-compatible retrofits, and full fixture replacements when needed. Before any installation we inspect your panels, circuits, and control gear to confirm voltage compatibility and dimming protocols (0–10 V, TRIAC, or DALI). If upgrades are required, we include that work in our proposal and ensure everything meets NEC and local code.
How disruptive is the installation process for my home or business?
Our team schedules work around your operating hours to minimize downtime. Residential projects usually take a single day; small commercial spaces (≤10,000 sq ft) complete in 1–2 nights; larger facilities are phased by zone so only a portion of the building is offline at any time. We use dust-free drilling, remove all old lamps/ballasts for recycling, and leave the space clean and operational before we leave each day.
Are there rebates or tax incentives available in Talbott for lighting upgrades?
Yes. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) EnergyRight® program offers per-fixture cash incentives for qualifying LED and control installations, and some local utilities add bonus rebates during peak periods. In addition, federal tax deduction §179D allows commercial building owners to claim up to $0.63/ft² for lighting efficiency improvements. We prepare all paperwork, submit pre-approval applications, and credit any rebates directly against your project cost.
How do you ensure the new lighting meets safety and code requirements?
Every product we install carries UL, ETL, or CSA safety listings and is DLC-qualified for performance. Our licensed electricians pull permits with Jefferson County when required, follow the 2023 NEC, and adhere to IES recommended light levels. After installation we perform photometric testing, emergency-lighting function checks, and provide a compliance package that includes cut-sheets, as-built drawings, and warranty certificates (typically 5–10 years).
