FAQs
What kinds of lighting upgrades do you provide for homes and businesses in Elizabethton?
We design and install a full range of energy-efficient lighting solutions, including LED retrofits for existing fixtures, custom architectural lighting, smart-controlled interior and exterior lighting systems, daylight-harvesting sensors, and specialty accent lighting for retail, hospitality, and historic properties. Every project begins with an on-site assessment so we can recommend the mix of fixtures, controls, and design elements best suited to your space, budget, and aesthetic goals.
How much can I save by switching to LED and smart-controlled lighting?
Most clients see energy savings of 50–70 % compared with traditional incandescent or fluorescent fixtures. LEDs consume far less wattage, produce less heat (reducing HVAC load), and last up to 25 times longer, trimming maintenance costs. When paired with occupancy sensors, dimming controls, and scheduling via smart apps, you can achieve an additional 10–20 % in electrical savings. We provide a detailed payback analysis during our proposal so you’ll know exactly when your investment will start earning returns.
Can you handle the entire lighting upgrade from design through installation and code compliance?
Yes. We offer turnkey service. Our in-house lighting designers create photometric plans and 3-D renderings so you can visualize the final look. Licensed electricians then install new fixtures, wiring, controls, and panels, ensuring everything meets the 2023 National Electrical Code, Tennessee building regulations, and any historic-district guidelines specific to downtown Elizabethton. We also pull permits and coordinate inspections, so you have a single point of contact from concept to completion.
Are there rebates or tax incentives available for lighting upgrades in Elizabethton?
Absolutely. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and Bright Energy Solutions® frequently offer cash incentives for qualifying LED retrofits, controls, and energy-efficient new construction. Federal tax deductions under Section 179D may also apply to commercial projects that achieve specified energy reductions. During our consultation, we identify every applicable program, handle the paperwork, and factor rebates into our cost estimate so you receive the maximum financial benefit.
How long does a typical lighting upgrade project take?
Timeline depends on project size and complexity. A straightforward residential LED retrofit can often be completed in one day. Mid-size commercial jobs—such as upgrading office suites or retail spaces—generally take 3–7 business days. Large facilities or custom architectural lighting projects may span several weeks to allow for design approvals, material lead times, and phased installation. We provide a detailed schedule up front and coordinate after-hours work when needed to minimize disruption.
Can you work with historic or landmark properties in Elizabethton’s downtown district?
Yes. We specialize in sensitively upgrading lighting in historic structures. Our team collaborates with building owners, architects, and preservation boards to select fixtures that complement period aesthetics while delivering modern efficiency. We often use faux-filament LED lamps, concealed wiring methods, and color-tunable LEDs to maintain the building’s character. All work is executed in accordance with local preservation guidelines and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.
