FAQs
What types of fixtures are considered energy-efficient and how do they differ from standard models?
Energy-efficient fixtures generally use LED or high-performance fluorescent technology, incorporate electronic or smart drivers/ballasts, and often include built-in controls such as motion or daylight sensors. Compared with traditional incandescent or older fluorescent fixtures, they convert a much higher percentage of electrical energy into usable light, run cooler, require less wattage to deliver the same brightness, and last 5–25 times longer.
What benefits can Delano property owners expect from upgrading to energy-efficient electrical fixtures?
Typical savings range from 30 % to 70 % on lighting-related electricity costs, with payback periods of one to three years. Beyond lower utility bills, you get reduced maintenance, better light quality, higher property value, and a smaller carbon footprint. Businesses may also see improved employee comfort and productivity due to better color rendering and reduced glare.
Are incentives or rebates available in Delano for energy-efficient lighting upgrades?
Yes. Delano customers served by utilities such as Xcel Energy (MN) or Southern California Edison (CA) can qualify for prescriptive and custom rebates on ENERGY STAR or DesignLights Consortium-listed products. Additional incentives may be offered through state programs like the Minnesota CIP or California’s EnergySmart incentives. Our team will help you gather invoices, fixture spec sheets, and rebate forms to maximize all available savings.
Can my existing fixtures be retrofitted, or do they need to be replaced entirely?
In most cases we can retrofit your current housings with LED lamp kits, driver replacements, or screw-in bulbs, keeping aesthetic elements intact and reducing material waste. However, very old or damaged fixtures with outdated wiring may be more cost-effective to replace. During a free on-site assessment, we test voltage, measure lumen output, and review code compliance to determine the best solution.
How long does installation take and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A single-family home retrofit of 20–30 fixtures is usually completed in one day. Small commercial spaces can often be done after hours or over a weekend, while larger facilities may be staged in phases so only one area is offline at a time. We use dust-free techniques, dispose of old lamps per EPA guidelines, and always restore power and cleanup before leaving.
What maintenance is required for today’s energy-efficient fixtures and are warranties included?
LED drivers and diodes are solid-state components with no filaments to burn out, so routine maintenance is minimal—typically just occasional dusting and ensuring sensors aren’t obstructed. Most products come with 5- to 10-year manufacturer warranties covering lumen depreciation, color shift, and driver failure. We register all warranties on your behalf and provide documentation for quick service if an issue arises.
