FAQs
Why should I upgrade my lighting for environmental responsibility in Apison?
Modern LED and high-efficiency fixtures cut electricity consumption by up to 70 %, which lowers your carbon footprint and utility bills simultaneously. Because most electricity in the Tennessee Valley is still generated from fossil fuels, every kilowatt-hour you save directly reduces greenhouse-gas emissions.
What types of lighting upgrades do you offer?
We design and install LED retrofits for interior and exterior fixtures, integrated lighting controls (occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting, programmable dimming), and high-bay/high-output solutions for warehouses or agricultural buildings. We also handle specialty needs such as dark-sky compliant outdoor luminaires to minimize light pollution.
How quickly will I see a return on investment (ROI)?
Typical commercial and residential customers in Apison recover their upfront costs in 1–3 years through lower electric bills and reduced maintenance. Our team provides a free energy audit and ROI projection, factoring in TVA incentives, federal tax credits, and any applicable local rebates to give you an accurate payback timeline before you commit.
Are there incentives or rebates available for lighting upgrades in Apison?
Yes. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) offers EnergyRight incentives for qualifying LED conversions, and current federal tax provisions allow accelerated depreciation or immediate expensing for energy-saving equipment. We handle the paperwork, submission, and verification to ensure you receive every dollar you’re entitled to.
What happens to my old bulbs and fixtures?
Environmental responsibility includes proper disposal. We remove and recycle or safely dispose of fluorescent tubes, ballasts containing PCBs, and other components in compliance with EPA and Hamilton County regulations. You receive a chain-of-custody certificate confirming that hazardous materials were handled responsibly.
Will a lighting upgrade disrupt my daily operations?
We schedule installations around your workflow—after hours, weekends, or in phased zones—so downtime is minimal. Most residential projects finish in a single day. Commercial and industrial sites often complete section-by-section, allowing normal operations to continue while we work.
