FAQs
Why should I upgrade to LED lighting in my Ducktown facility?
LED fixtures use up to 75% less energy than traditional incandescent or fluorescent lamps, deliver a longer service life (50,000–100,000 hours), and generate far less heat. In Ducktown’s hot summers, reduced heat output also lowers cooling loads, which further cuts utility costs. Over the course of five years, most customers see a payback period of 18–30 months and an average energy-cost reduction of 40–60%.
Does Ducktown Electric Cooperative or TVA offer rebates for lighting upgrades?
Yes. TVA’s EnergyRight program and the Ducktown Electric Cooperative both provide incentives for commercial and residential customers who install high-efficiency LED fixtures, controls, or lighting retrofits. Incentives typically range from $0.05–$0.12 per kWh saved, or $5–$50 per qualifying fixture, depending on project scope. Our team will prepare the paperwork, perform the pre- and post-installation inspections, and ensure you receive the maximum rebate available.
Will my business experience downtime during the installation?
Very little. We schedule work during off-peak hours, evenings, or weekends when requested. Modular retrofit kits allow us to swap out fixtures quickly—often within 10–15 minutes each—so most projects are completed in a single night or over a weekend. In occupied offices or retail spaces we cordon off small areas sequentially to keep you open for business.
Can you integrate smart controls such as occupancy sensors and daylight harvesting?
Absolutely. We design systems that combine LED fixtures with networked sensors, wireless switches, and user-friendly software dashboards. Occupancy sensors dim or switch off lights in empty spaces, while daylight sensors adjust output based on available sunlight. These controls add an extra 20–30% energy savings and qualify for additional utility incentives. We’ll train your staff on programming and provide remote monitoring support.
How do lighting upgrades improve safety and code compliance?
New LED luminaires provide higher quality, uniform illumination that reduces glare and shadows—key factors in preventing slips, trips, and machinery accidents. Upgrades also ensure compliance with current NEC, IES, and OSHA lighting standards for egress, emergency backup, and color rendering. We include emergency battery packs or central inverters as required and supply documentation for building inspectors.
What warranties and post-installation support do you offer?
All fixtures we install carry a manufacturer’s warranty of 5–10 years covering LEDs, drivers, and integral controls. Our labor workmanship warranty is 2 years—if any fixture fails, we handle removal, replacement, and return shipping at no cost. In addition, we provide an annual system checkup, updated ROI reports, and assist with warranty claims for the full term.
