FAQs
Why should I upgrade my home’s lighting system in Dunlap?
Modern lighting upgrades improve energy efficiency, increase safety, and enhance the overall ambience of your home. Older fixtures may waste electricity, generate excess heat, and fail to meet current electrical codes. Upgrading to LED or smart lighting can cut energy use by up to 75 %, reduce maintenance, and add features such as dimming, color-tuning, and automated scheduling.
What energy-efficient lighting options are available for my home?
The most popular choice is light-emitting diode (LED) fixtures and bulbs, which last 25,000–50,000 hours and use a fraction of the power of incandescent or halogen lights. Other options include compact fluorescents (CFLs), low-voltage under-cabinet systems, and integrated smart luminaires that work with voice assistants. We also offer ENERGY STAR-rated ceiling fans with LED light kits, outdoor motion-sensor floodlights, and daylight-harvesting controls to maximize natural light.
How long does a typical lighting upgrade project take?
For a single-room retrofit—such as replacing recessed cans with LED downlights—installation usually takes 2–4 hours. Whole-house upgrades that involve fixture replacement, wiring adjustments, and smart-switch installation typically span 1–3 days, depending on house size and attic accessibility. Our team completes an in-home assessment first, then schedules work to minimize disruption. We handle cleanup and haul away old fixtures the same day.
Will new lighting fixtures really lower my monthly electric bill?
Yes. Switching from 60-watt incandescent bulbs to 9-watt LEDs that deliver the same brightness can save about $6 per bulb per year in electricity costs, based on average Dunlap utility rates and three hours of daily use. When multiplied across dozens of fixtures, many homeowners see utility savings of 15–30 % on the lighting portion of their bill, often recouping upgrade costs within 1–3 years.
Do I need permits or inspections for lighting upgrades in Dunlap?
Simple bulb changes do not require a permit, but replacing hard-wired fixtures, adding new circuits, or installing smart switches generally falls under the Illinois Electrical Code (for Dunlap, IL) or the local amendments enforced by the Sequatchie County Building Department (for Dunlap, TN). As a licensed electrical contractor, we secure all necessary permits, schedule inspections, and ensure your upgrade is fully code-compliant and covered by warranty.
Can you help me choose fixtures that match my décor and lighting needs?
Absolutely. During our free design consultation, we review your room dimensions, existing wiring, and style preferences. We then recommend fixture types (pendants, recessed, track, sconces), color temperatures (warm 2700 K for living areas, neutral 3000–3500 K for kitchens, cooler 4000 K for task spaces), and control options (dimmers, motion sensors, smart hubs). Samples and catalogs are provided so you can see finishes and light quality before ordering. Our goal is a cohesive look that enhances both aesthetics and functionality.
