FAQs
Why should I upgrade to energy-efficient lighting in my Elora home or business?
Switching to high-efficiency LED and advanced control systems can cut lighting electricity use by 50–80 %, dramatically lowering utility bills. LEDs also last 10–25 times longer than incandescent or halogen lamps, which reduces maintenance costs and keeps waste out of the landfill. In addition, modern fixtures deliver better light quality, improved colour rendering and instant full-brightness operation—benefits that enhance comfort, safety and productivity in any Elora property.
What types of lighting upgrades do you offer?
We retrofit or replace virtually every common lighting technology. Services include: • Direct-fit LED lamp swaps for fluorescent tubes, CFLs and halogens. • Complete fixture replacements for recessed downlights, troffers, pendants and exterior wall packs. • High-bay and low-bay conversions for warehouses, arenas and barns. • Integrated smart controls such as motion sensors, daylight harvesting and Bluetooth/Zigbee dimming. • Decorative and architectural upgrades that balance efficiency with aesthetics—perfect for Elora’s heritage homes and retail spaces.
Are there rebates or incentives available in Centre Wellington for lighting upgrades?
Yes. The Save on Energy Retrofit Program administered by the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) offers prescriptive and custom incentives for qualifying LED fixtures and controls. Businesses in Elora can receive up to $1,000 per kilowatt of lighting demand reduced. Residential customers may be eligible for the Canada Greener Homes Grant, which provides up to $5,000 toward energy-saving improvements, including lighting when bundled with other measures. Our team handles all paperwork, pre-approval submissions and post-installation verifications so you capture every dollar available.
How long does a typical lighting retrofit take?
Timeline depends on project size, but most homes are completed in one day and small commercial spaces in 1–3 days. For larger industrial facilities we often phase work to minimize disruption, completing sections during off-hours or scheduled shutdowns. We start with a free on-site assessment, deliver a detailed proposal within 48 hours, and can usually schedule installation within two weeks once materials arrive and any rebate pre-approvals are secured.
Will LED lighting work with my existing dimmers and fixtures?
Often yes, but compatibility must be checked. Many LED lamps are designed as direct replacements for screw-in or bi-pin bulbs; however, older dimmers may produce flicker or limited dimming range. During our assessment, we test current controls and recommend either compatible LED products or affordable electronic dimmer upgrades. For fluorescent troffers, we can install ballast-compatible (Type A) lamps or bypass the ballast and wire directly (Type B) for maximum efficiency and reliability.
What warranty and post-installation support do you provide?
We supply commercial-grade LED products with manufacturer warranties ranging from 5 to 10 years. Our workmanship is guaranteed for a full year, covering any installation-related issues at no cost. After completion, we perform a light-level verification, recycle old lamps in accordance with Ontario regulations, and schedule an optional annual check-up to ensure everything continues to run at peak efficiency. If a warranted component fails, we handle the replacement logistics so you stay illuminated without hassle.
