FAQs
What are the main advantages of upgrading to energy-efficient LED lighting in Duff?
LED fixtures typically use 50–75 % less electricity than fluorescent, metal-halide, or incandescent lamps while producing equal or better illumination. They also last 50,000–100,000 hours, which means far fewer lamp changes and maintenance visits. For Duff property owners this translates into lower hydro bills, reduced carbon footprint, higher light quality (better colour rendering and uniformity), and improved safety because LEDs reach full brightness instantly and run cooler than legacy lamps.
How much money can I expect to save after a lighting upgrade?
Actual savings depend on your existing equipment, operating hours, and electricity rates, but most Duff clients see utility costs drop 40–70 %. For example, replacing thirty 250 W metal-halide high-bays with 120 W LED high-bays operating 10 h/day saves roughly 11,000 kWh per year—about $1,900 at current Hydro One rates. With maintenance elimination included, typical payback periods fall between 1 and 3 years, after which the reduced energy cost becomes pure operating profit.
Are rebates or incentives available in Duff for efficient lighting projects?
Yes. Through Ontario’s Save on Energy Retrofit program, businesses can earn prescriptive or custom incentives based on the wattage reduced. Additional federal tax deductions under the Accelerated Capital Cost Allowance (ACCA) may also apply. Our team completes the rebate paperwork, prepares the pre-project documentation, and submits the post-verification report so you receive the maximum incentive without administrative hassle.
What does your lighting design and audit process involve?
1. Free site visit and load inventory: we count every existing fixture, lamp type, ballast, and control. 2. Light-level assessment: lux readings are compared to IESNA recommendations for your task requirements. 3. Photometric design: using AGi32/DIALux we model new LED fixtures, aiming for uniformity and target illuminance. 4. Financial analysis: we provide an energy-savings calculator, rebate estimate, ROI, and environmental impact summary. 5. Project scheduling: we coordinate delivery, installation sequencing, and any after-hours work if required to avoid downtime.
Do you handle both residential and commercial lighting upgrades in Duff?
Absolutely. Our electricians are ESA-licensed to service single-family homes, multi-unit residential buildings, retail, offices, warehouses, and industrial plants. We scale designs from simple kitchen pot-light retrofits to full high-bay warehouse conversions and integrate smart controls such as motion sensors, daylight harvesting, and time-clock scheduling to maximize savings for every type of property.
How long will installation take and will my operations be disrupted?
Most residential projects are completed in one day. Small commercial spaces (≤5,000 ft²) usually require 1–2 nights of after-hours work, while large industrial conversions may span a week depending on ceiling height and lift access. We stage materials in advance, isolate circuits methodically, and clean up each work zone before leaving so your staff can continue using unaffected areas. All old lamps and ballasts are removed and recycled according to Ontario hazardous-waste regulations.
