FAQs
What types of lighting upgrades do you offer in Ducktown?
We handle a full range of upgrades, including LED retrofits, recessed can replacements, under-cabinet lighting, exterior security lights, landscape accents, and complete fixture redesigns for both homes and businesses. Our electricians evaluate your existing circuitry, light levels, and décor to recommend fixtures and controls that improve efficiency, safety, and aesthetics.
How can switching to energy-efficient lighting reduce my electricity bills?
Modern LEDs use up to 80 % less power than incandescent or halogen lamps while producing the same—or better—light output. In a typical Ducktown home, upgrading 25 standard bulbs to LEDs saves roughly 900 kWh a year, which translates to $120–$140 off your electric bill at current local utility rates. Commercial properties see even higher savings because lighting often runs for extended hours.
Are rebates or incentives available in Ducktown for lighting upgrades?
Yes. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and many local utilities offer rebates for qualifying LED retrofits, occupancy sensors, and daylight harvesting controls. We stay current on the programs and handle the paperwork, photometric calculations, and verification inspections so you can claim the maximum incentive without the hassle.
What is the typical process and timeline for a residential lighting upgrade?
1) On-site assessment (about 30 minutes): We review your goals, check panel capacity, and measure existing light levels. 2) Proposal & product selection (1–2 days): You receive a written estimate detailing fixtures, labor, ROI calculations, and any rebates. 3) Installation (half-day to 2 days): Licensed electricians remove old fixtures, update wiring if needed, and install new lights and controls. 4) Final inspection & cleanup: We test every circuit, label dimmers/switches, and haul away debris. Most homes are fully upgraded within a week from first call to completion.
Can new lighting integrate with my current smart-home or building-automation system?
Absolutely. We install Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, and hard-wired 0–10 V dimming solutions that tie directly into platforms such as Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings, and commercial BMS packages. During the assessment we verify compatibility and program scenes, schedules, and motion controls so your upgraded lighting works seamlessly with your existing smart ecosystem.
Is your team licensed and insured to perform electrical work in Ducktown?
Yes. Our electricians hold current Tennessee Electrical Contractor licenses, carry $2 million in general liability coverage, and maintain workers’ compensation for every team member. We pull all required Ducktown and Polk County permits and adhere strictly to the 2020 National Electrical Code (NEC) to ensure safe, compliant installations.
