FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my lighting to energy-efficient fixtures in Delano?
Lighting accounts for 25–40 % of a typical California building’s electricity use. Switching to modern LED and control technologies cuts that consumption by up to 70 %, lowers monthly utility bills, and reduces maintenance because LEDs last 50,000–100,000 hours. Upgrades also improve light quality, enhance safety, and help meet California Title 24 energy-code requirements, all while shrinking your carbon footprint.
What types of lighting upgrades do you offer for homes and businesses?
We provide turnkey solutions that include LED lamp and fixture retrofits, high-bay and warehouse lighting, recessed downlights, exterior wall packs and parking-lot poles, decorative interior luminaires, smart dimming systems, occupancy and vacancy sensors, daylight-harvesting controls, and complete panel-level electrical revisions when needed. Every project is custom-designed for the space, energy goals, and budget.
How much can I save on my utility bills after a lighting upgrade?
Actual savings depend on your current fixtures, operating hours, and local utility rates, but most Delano customers see 40–70 % reductions in lighting energy use. For example, replacing thirty 4-lamp T8 fluorescent troffers that run 3,000 hours a year with LED troffers can save roughly 5,000 kWh annually—about $1,100 at today’s SCE rates—and pays for itself in 18–30 months through energy and maintenance savings.
Are rebates or incentives available in Delano for energy-efficient lighting projects?
Yes. Southern California Edison (SCE) offers prescriptive and custom rebates for qualifying LED fixtures and controls. The current incentives range from $0.03 to $0.15 per kWh saved, or a fixed dollar amount per installed device. Additional funding may be available through the California Energy Design Assistance (CEDA) program, and federal tax deductions under Section 179D can offset project costs. We handle all paperwork and will apply the incentive directly to your project quote so you see an immediate reduction in out-of-pocket cost.
Will the upgrade disrupt my daily operations and how long does installation take?
We schedule installations around your business hours—nights, weekends, or phased areas—to keep downtime to a minimum. For most small offices or retail spaces the retrofit is completed in 1–2 days; larger warehouses or multi-building campuses may take one to three weeks. Our certified electricians clean up each work area as they finish, so you can reopen that section right away.
Do you provide lighting audits and how do I get started?
Absolutely. We begin with a free on-site audit where our team measures existing fixtures, energy consumption, and illumination levels. Within days you receive a detailed report showing recommended upgrades, projected energy savings, available rebates, return-on-investment timelines, and photometric layouts. Approve the proposal, and we’ll secure incentives, order materials, and schedule installation.
