FAQs
What types of lighting upgrades do you offer for homes and businesses in Cumberland Gap?
We provide complete LED retrofit solutions, high-efficiency fixture replacements, smart lighting controls, occupancy sensors, daylight-harvesting systems, and exterior/security lighting upgrades. Our team evaluates your existing setup and recommends the combination that maximizes energy savings, light quality, and longevity while meeting local building codes.
How much energy and cost can I expect to save by switching to LED lighting?
LED lamps typically use 60–80 % less electricity than traditional incandescent or halogen bulbs and about 35–50 % less than most CFLs. In Cumberland Gap, where the average electricity rate is around 11–12¢/kWh, a small business replacing fifty 60 W incandescent bulbs with 9 W LEDs can save roughly 13,500 kWh and $1,500 per year, paying for itself in under 18 months.
Are there rebates or incentives available for lighting upgrades in the Cumberland Gap area?
Yes. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and local utility programs such as Powell Valley Electric Cooperative’s energy-efficiency incentives frequently offer rebates on qualifying LED products and controls. Federal tax deductions under Section 179D and bonus depreciation can further enhance ROI. We handle all paperwork, product qualification, and rebate submission to ensure you receive every dollar you’re entitled to.
Will the new lighting affect the appearance or ambiance of my space?
LED technology now offers a wide range of color temperatures (from warm 2700 K to cool 5000 K) and high color-rendering index (CRI) options, so we can match or improve your current ambiance. During the design phase we provide photometric layouts and sample fixtures so you can see light levels and color before installation, ensuring the finished space looks exactly as you envision.
How long does a typical lighting upgrade project take from start to finish?
For most residential jobs, the entire process—from on-site assessment to final inspection—takes 1–3 days. Small commercial facilities usually require 1–2 weeks, while large industrial sites might take 3–6 weeks depending on complexity and operating hours. We create a detailed schedule that minimizes disruption, often working during off-peak hours or in phases so your operations continue uninterrupted.
What warranties and maintenance support do you provide after installation?
We supply LED products backed by manufacturer warranties of 5–10 years and offer our own workmanship warranty for one year. Our service team provides complimentary annual inspections and rapid replacement of any failed components during the warranty period. Because LEDs have a rated life of 50,000+ hours, ongoing maintenance costs are dramatically reduced compared to traditional lighting.
