FAQs
What types of lighting upgrades do you offer for homes and businesses in Englewood?
We design and install a full spectrum of upgrades, including LED retro-fits of existing fixtures, complete fixture replacements, high-efficiency exterior/security lighting, decorative architectural lighting, and smart-control systems that allow scheduling and remote dimming. Our team evaluates your space, light-level requirements, and décor to recommend the ideal mix of lamps, drivers, fixtures, and controls that maximize efficiency while enhancing visual comfort.
How much energy and cost can I expect to save by switching to LED lighting?
Most customers in Englewood see energy reductions of 50–75 % compared with older incandescent or fluorescent sources. That translates to annual utility-bill savings of roughly $0.10–$0.15 per kWh eliminated—often $200–$800 per 1,000 ft² of conditioned space. LEDs also last 25,000–50,000 hours, so you typically avoid three to five lamp-replacement cycles, cutting maintenance costs by an additional 20–30 %.
Do lighting upgrades qualify for local rebates or tax incentives in Englewood?
Yes. Xcel Energy and FPL (depending on your Englewood service area) offer prescriptive and custom rebates for LED fixtures, networked lighting controls, and daylight-harvesting sensors. Federal §179D tax deductions may apply to commercial buildings, and homeowners can claim the 25C Energy-Efficient Home Improvement Credit for certain installations. We research all available programs, prepare the paperwork, and apply on your behalf so you receive every dollar of incentive.
Will I need a permit for my lighting upgrade project, and do you handle the paperwork?
Any lighting work that involves new circuits, panel alterations, or changes to emergency/exit lighting requires an electrical permit under Englewood municipal code. Simple lamp swaps usually do not. During your site assessment we clarify the scope, pull all required permits, schedule inspections with the city, and provide you with final stamped documentation for your records.
How disruptive is the installation process, and how long does a typical project take?
For a single-family home, most retro-fits are finished in one day with minimal disruption—no drywall removal in the majority of cases. Commercial jobs average one to five days per 10,000 ft², and we can phase work after hours to keep your business running. Our crews use drop cloths, vacuum-equipped drills, and HEPA filtration to keep your space clean. All old lamps and ballasts are recycled according to EPA guidelines.
Can you integrate smart controls and automation with my new lighting system?
Absolutely. We install Wi-Fi, Zigbee, and PoE-based control platforms that tie into voice assistants (Alexa, Google), building-management systems, and occupancy sensors. Features include automated scheduling, daylight harvesting, demand-response dimming, and real-time energy monitoring via mobile app. These controls typically add another 5–20 % energy savings on top of LED efficiency and give you granular, room-by-room control from anywhere.
