FAQs
What types of energy-efficient lighting upgrades do you offer in Tullahoma?
We design and install complete LED retrofit solutions for homes, offices, warehouses, retail spaces, and outdoor areas. Options range from direct-replacement LED lamps to new high-efficiency fixtures with integrated drivers, smart controls, occupancy sensors, and daylight-harvesting systems. We also handle parking-lot and street-lighting conversions, emergency/exit lighting upgrades, and specialty high-bay or task-lighting projects.
How much can I expect to save after switching to LED lighting?
Most clients see lighting-related electricity consumption drop 50–75 %. For example, replacing a 64 W fluorescent troffer with a 28 W LED panel saves about 36 W every time the light is on. In a typical commercial space operating 3,000 hours per year at an energy rate of 11¢/kWh, that single fixture saves roughly $12 annually. Multiplied across dozens or hundreds of fixtures, paybacks typically fall between 18 months and 3 years—often faster when combined with controls such as occupancy sensors.
Are there local rebates or incentives available for energy-efficient lighting in the Tullahoma area?
Yes. Customers served by TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) distributors such as Tullahoma Utilities Authority may qualify for TVA EnergyRight® incentives that pay a set amount per kWh saved on qualifying LED retrofits and lighting controls. We prepare all paperwork, perform pre- and post-installation inspections, and apply the rebate as an instant credit on your invoice whenever possible. State and federal tax deductions—such as the 179D commercial building energy tax deduction—can provide additional savings.
How long does a typical lighting upgrade project take from start to finish?
A residential retrofit can often be completed in a single day. Small commercial jobs (up to 500 fixtures) usually take 2–5 business days including disposal of old lamps and ballasts. Large industrial or multi-site projects may span several weeks, but we schedule work in phases or off-hours to minimize disruption. The initial audit and proposal are usually delivered within 3–5 days of your request.
Will the new LED fixtures require changes to my existing electrical infrastructure?
In most cases, no additional wiring or panel upgrades are needed because LEDs draw significantly less current than traditional lighting. For direct-fit LED tubes or lamps, we can often reuse existing fixtures after bypassing or removing old ballasts. New smart fixtures and controls may need low-voltage control wiring, but this is typically run through existing conduit. During the site audit we check circuit loading, grounding, and controls to ensure compatibility and code compliance before installation.
Do you provide warranties and ongoing maintenance for the upgraded lighting systems?
All products we install carry a manufacturer’s warranty of 5–10 years, and we register those warranties on your behalf. Our workmanship is guaranteed for a minimum of one year. Because LEDs have lifespans of 50,000–100,000 hours, routine maintenance is greatly reduced, but we offer optional service plans that include annual inspections, cleaning, control re-calibration, and prompt replacement of any failed components at no labor cost.
