FAQs
Why should my Dunlap business consider upgrading to modern LED lighting?
Upgrading to LED fixtures can cut lighting-related energy consumption by 50-70%, which quickly lowers monthly utility bills. LEDs also last 5–10 times longer than fluorescent or HID lamps, so you will spend far less on replacements and maintenance calls. In addition, newer luminaires provide better color rendering and more consistent light levels, which can improve employee productivity, enhance product displays, and create a safer work environment.
What types of commercial lighting upgrades do you install?
We design and install a full range of solutions—including high-efficiency LED troffers, linear strips, high-bay fixtures for warehouses, parking-lot pole lights, exterior wall packs, emergency egress and exit lights, smart occupancy sensors, and daylight-harvesting controls. Our team evaluates your existing electrical infrastructure to recommend fixtures and controls that meet code, maximize energy savings, and fit the aesthetics of your space.
How disruptive is the upgrade process to daily operations?
We schedule work in phases—often after hours or on weekends—to keep your business running with minimal interruption. For occupied offices and retail areas, we isolate small sections, complete them, and move on. Most retrofit projects are finished within 1–3 days for small spaces and 1–2 weeks for larger facilities. We provide temporary lighting where needed and always leave work areas clean and safe before employees or customers return.
Are there rebates or tax incentives available in Dunlap for lighting upgrades?
Yes. TVA’s EnergyRight® Business & Industry program and many local utilities serving the Dunlap area currently offer cash incentives for qualifying LED retrofits and advanced lighting controls. Federal tax deductions under IRS Section 179D may also apply. We handle the paperwork—from pre-approval applications to post-installation verification—so you receive every incentive available and shorten your payback period.
How do you calculate projected energy savings and ROI?
Before any work begins, we perform an on-site audit that documents fixture quantities, wattages, burn hours, and utility rates. Using industry-standard software, we compare your existing load with proposed LED equipment to estimate annual kWh savings, demand reduction, maintenance savings, and carbon-emission cuts. From those figures we create a clear payback and life-cycle cost analysis so you can make an informed investment decision.
Will my upgraded lighting meet current electrical codes and require permits?
All installations follow the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable Tennessee building codes. In most cases, lighting retrofits are classified as electrical alterations and do require a permit. Our licensed electricians secure the permit, coordinate any inspections with Dunlap’s building department, and provide you with all final documentation and warranty information upon project completion.
