FAQs
What are the main benefits of upgrading to LED lighting in my Blountville home or business?
LED fixtures use up to 75 % less electricity than traditional incandescent or halogen lamps, last 25–50 times longer (50,000+ hours), and generate far less heat, which reduces HVAC load. For homeowners that means lower monthly utility bills and fewer bulb replacements; for businesses it translates into rapid payback, reduced maintenance hours, and better-quality light that can improve productivity and sales displays.
How much can I expect to save on my electric bill after a lighting upgrade?
Savings vary with the size of the space, current lamp types, and operating hours, but most Blountville customers see lighting-related energy costs drop 50–80 %. For example, replacing twenty 60 W incandescents that burn four hours a day with 9 W LEDs saves about 1,500 kWh per year—roughly $180 at the local 12¢/kWh rate. Commercial retrofits that replace aging T8 or metal-halide fixtures can see payback periods of 1–3 years.
Do you offer energy audits before recommending lighting improvements?
Yes. Our licensed electricians begin with an on-site energy assessment that measures current fixture wattages, run-time schedules, and lighting levels. We then create a detailed report that includes projected kWh savings, ROI calculations, and photometric layouts so you can see exactly how your new lighting will perform before we install a single fixture.
Are there rebates or incentives available in Blountville or Tennessee for energy-efficient lighting?
Absolutely. Tennessee Valley Authority’s EnergyRight program and BrightRidge’s commercial efficiency rebates frequently cover a portion of the material cost for LED fixtures, controls, and occupancy sensors. We handle all paperwork, including pre-approval and post-installation verification, to make sure you receive every dollar you qualify for.
How long does a typical lighting retrofit take, and will it disrupt my daily operations?
Most residential upgrades are completed in a single day. Small offices and retail spaces are usually finished after hours or over a weekend to avoid downtime, while large commercial or industrial sites are phased by area so work continues uninterrupted. We protect furnishings, clean up daily, and schedule around your busiest times to keep the impact minimal.
Can your electricians handle both residential and commercial lighting upgrades in Blountville?
Yes. Our team is fully licensed, insured, and trained on the latest residential dimming systems, smart-home platforms, and commercial controls such as DALI and networked occupancy sensors. Whether you need recessed LED trims in a kitchen, troffer retrofits in an office, or high-bay replacements in a warehouse, we have the expertise and equipment to deliver a code-compliant, energy-efficient solution.
