FAQs
What are the main benefits of upgrading to LED lighting in Bean Station?
LED technology converts a far greater percentage of electricity into light and far less into heat than traditional incandescent, CFL, or HID lamps. In practical terms that means energy-use reductions of 50-80%, dramatically lower air-conditioning load in summer, and up to 10 times longer lamp life. For Bean Station homeowners and businesses, those savings translate into lower utility bills, fewer maintenance calls, better light quality (higher CRI and consistent color temperature), and instant-on performance that works well in our varied East Tennessee climate.
How much can I expect to save on my utility bill after an LED retrofit?
Typical Bean Station customers see lighting-related kWh consumption drop 60-75%. Because lighting often represents 20-40% of a commercial facility’s electricity spend, total electric bills usually fall 15-25%. For a 10,000-sq-ft retail store spending $1,200 per month on power, that could mean $180-$300 in monthly savings, paying back the project cost in 1–3 years. Homes with 40-60 fixtures generally save $15-$30 per month, depending on usage patterns and TVA rate tiers.
Are there local rebates or incentives available for LED upgrades in Bean Station?
Yes. Bean Station is served by TVA and local power distributors that offer prescriptive and custom incentives for qualifying LED upgrades. Residential customers can receive instant discounts at the point of purchase on ENERGY STAR® LED bulbs. Commercial and industrial customers may qualify for $0.05–$0.10 per kWh saved in the first year, or a per-fixture rebate that typically ranges from $4 for screw-in lamps to $40 for high-bay luminaires. Our team handles all paperwork, pre-approval site visits, and post-installation verification so you get the maximum rebate without the administrative headache.
How long does an LED upgrade project typically take, and will it disrupt my business?
Most residential projects are completed in one day. Small commercial jobs (under 250 fixtures) take 1–2 days, while larger facilities may require a phased schedule over one to two weeks. We offer night, weekend, and holiday installation windows to eliminate or minimize downtime. Our licensed electricians isolate circuits, use lift equipment sized for your aisles or work areas, and perform clean-up at the end of each shift so you can continue operating safely during normal business hours.
Can LED fixtures be installed in existing luminaires, or will I need all-new equipment?
In many cases, we can retrofit existing housings with LED lamps or driver-and-board kits, preserving your ceiling grid and décor while cutting costs. For troffers, vapor-tight fixtures, and wall packs that are structurally sound, a retrofit kit is often the fastest, least expensive route. However, if a fixture is rusted, has broken lenses, or doesn’t meet current code (e.g., non-IC rated cans in attic spaces), we recommend full replacement. During the free on-site audit we decide which path gives the best combination of efficiency, aesthetics, and ROI.
What kind of warranty and lifespan can I expect from your LED products?
We specify commercial-grade LEDs rated for 50,000–100,000 hours (that’s 17–34 years at eight hours per day). All lamps and fixtures carry a minimum five-year manufacturer warranty covering parts and labor. Many high-bay and exterior luminaires include 10-year warranties with on-site service in the first five years. Because LEDs degrade slowly rather than burning out suddenly, light output typically falls only to 70-80% of initial lumens at end-of-life. That long useful life drastically reduces the ladder time and lift rentals that used to accompany fluorescent or metal-halide relamping.
