FAQs
Why should I consider a lighting upgrade for my home or business in Tazewell?
Upgrading to modern, energy-efficient lighting—such as LED fixtures—can cut your electricity costs by 50–70 %, improve light quality, reduce maintenance because bulbs last up to 25 × longer, and increase property value. In Tazewell, where older fluorescent and incandescent systems are still common, these savings add up quickly and help lower strain on the local power grid.
Are there rebates or incentives available for energy-efficient lighting in Tazewell?
Yes. Appalachian Power and TVA (if you’re on their service area) periodically offer rebates for qualifying LED retrofits, smart controls, and occupancy sensors. In addition, federal tax deductions under the Energy-Efficient Commercial Buildings Deduction (Section 179D) may apply. Our team handles the paperwork, verifies eligibility, and subtracts the incentive from your project cost up front whenever possible.
How long does a typical lighting upgrade project take?
Most residential projects are completed in one day. Small commercial spaces (under 10,000 sq ft) usually take 1–3 days, while larger facilities may require a phased approach over one to two weeks to minimize disruption. We perform a site audit first, create a schedule around your hours of operation, and coordinate any required inspections with Tazewell’s building department.
Will new LED fixtures work with my existing wiring and controls?
In many cases, yes. Most modern LED retrofit kits are designed to fit existing housings and operate on standard 120 V or 277 V circuits. However, dimming performance and smart-control compatibility can vary. During our free assessment, we test your current wiring, breakers, and switches, then recommend either direct-replacement lamps, driver swaps, or full-fixture upgrades to ensure optimal performance and code compliance.
How much can I expect to save on my electric bill after upgrading?
Savings depend on current fixture types, usage hours, and utility rates. For example, replacing fifty 4-ft T12 fluorescents (40 W each) with 15 W LEDs can save about 1,000 kWh per year—around $120 annually at Tazewell’s average residential rate of 12¢/kWh. Large commercial facilities often realize thousands in yearly savings, yielding payback periods of 1–3 years after rebates.
Do lighting upgrades require permits in Tazewell, and how is safety ensured?
Any work that involves new wiring, panel changes, or significant fixture relocation typically requires an electrical permit from the Town of Tazewell or Tazewell County. Our licensed electricians pull all necessary permits, schedule inspections, and follow National Electrical Code (NEC) guidelines. We carry full liability insurance and provide a workmanship warranty in addition to manufacturer warranties on all fixtures and controls.
