FAQs
What are the main benefits of switching to energy-efficient LED lighting with Glow Electrical in Athens?
Upgrading to LEDs cuts lighting-related energy consumption by 60–85 %, which translates into lower monthly utility bills and a smaller carbon footprint. LEDs also last 25,000–50,000 hours—up to 10 times longer than fluorescent or halogen lamps—reducing maintenance costs. Because LEDs generate very little heat, your air-conditioning load is reduced, an important advantage in Athens’ hot summers. Finally, LEDs provide superior colour rendering and instant, flicker-free illumination that improves comfort and safety in both homes and commercial spaces.
How quickly will I start seeing savings on my electricity bill after the upgrade?
Most clients notice a measurable drop in their power bill in the first full billing cycle after installation. The exact payback period depends on hours of use and current tariff rates, but in typical Athens households and small businesses the investment pays for itself within 12–24 months. For facilities with long operating hours—restaurants, retail shops, offices—the payback can be under 12 months thanks to higher energy savings and lower maintenance outlays.
Does Glow Electrical manage the entire upgrade process, including disposal of old fixtures?
Yes. We offer a turnkey service: onsite survey, photometric design, product selection, safe removal of existing fittings, certified recycling of lamps that contain hazardous materials (e.g., fluorescent tubes with mercury), professional installation of new luminaires, and post-installation testing. All work complies with Greek Electrical Code (ΕΛΟΤ HD 384) and EU WEEE recycling regulations, so you don’t have to coordinate multiple contractors or worry about legal disposal.
Are there any government incentives or rebates available in Greece for energy-efficient lighting projects?
Absolutely. Under the Greek ‘Εξοικονομώ’ (Save-at-Home) programme and selected ESPA funding rounds, homeowners and eligible SMEs can secure subsidies covering 40–70 % of the material and labour cost for LED upgrades. Glow Electrical provides the required energy study, efficiency certificates, and assistance with digital platform submissions to maximise your rebate. We also help larger commercial clients access tax deductions for energy-saving investments under Law 4342/2015 (Energy Efficiency Directive transposition).
Will new LED fixtures work with my existing dimmers and smart-home systems?
In most cases, yes. We stock a wide range of LED drivers compatible with trailing-edge, leading-edge, DALI, 0–10 V, and Zigbee controls. During the site survey our technicians identify your current dimmers or smart hubs (e.g., KNX, Philips Hue, Google Home) and specify LEDs that integrate seamlessly. If a particular switch is not LED-rated, we can upgrade it on the spot to avoid flicker or limited dimming range. All integrations are tested before project hand-over.
How long does a typical lighting upgrade take, and will it disrupt my daily routine or business operations?
Residential projects (up to 120 m²) are usually completed in one day, while small-to-medium commercial spaces take 1–3 days depending on ceiling height and access. We schedule work outside your peak hours—overnight or weekends for shops and offices—to minimise downtime. Our team uses dust-free drilling equipment, and power circuits are isolated so other appliances remain functional. At the end of each day we perform a full clean-up and provide a temporary lighting setup if needed, ensuring minimal disturbance to your routine.
