FAQs
What exactly are smart lighting controls and how do they work?
Smart lighting controls replace—or work alongside—traditional switches and dimmers with devices that contain wireless radios, occupancy or daylight sensors, and small micro-processors. Using technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, or Z-Wave, the controls communicate with a mobile app, voice assistant, or central hub. This lets you schedule on/off times, dim or color-tune fixtures, and receive real-time energy-use data from anywhere with an internet connection.
Why should I consider a lighting upgrade for my Evensville home or business?
Upgrading to LED fixtures paired with smart controls can cut lighting energy use by 50–80%, lower HVAC load by reducing wasted heat, and extend lamp life to 25,000–50,000 hours. You also gain conveniences such as automated schedules, vacation-mode security lighting, and scene settings that improve comfort and productivity—all while increasing property value and meeting modern buyer expectations in the Evensville market.
Can smart controls work with my existing light fixtures, or do I need all new lights?
In many cases you can retrofit smart switches, plug-in modules, or screw-in smart lamps without replacing the entire fixture. However, for maximum efficiency and dimming quality we often recommend pairing smart controls with dedicated LED fixtures or lamps. During our free on-site assessment in Evensville we evaluate your current wiring, fixture types, and control goals to determine the most cost-effective path—retrofit, partial replacement, or full upgrade.
Will smart lighting really lower my utility bills, and are there local incentives?
Yes. By combining high-efficiency LEDs with occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting, and dimming schedules, most customers see paybacks in 1–3 years from electricity savings alone. As part of the TVA EnergyRight® program, many Rhea County and Evensville residents and businesses can qualify for rebates that offset a portion of equipment and installation costs. We handle all paperwork to ensure you capture every available incentive.
Do I need a dedicated smart-home hub or special Wi-Fi equipment?
Not necessarily. Many smart switches and bulbs have built-in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and can operate through a free smartphone app. Larger commercial projects or whole-home systems may benefit from a hub such as Samsung SmartThings, Philips Hue Bridge, or Lutron Caséta for improved reliability and advanced automation. During design we match the control platform to your network strength, security requirements, and budget.
What is the installation process and how long does it take?
After a brief consultation, we perform an on-site audit to map circuits, fixture count, and desired control points. Small residential upgrades often take one day; medium-size homes or light commercial spaces usually wrap up within 2–3 days. Our licensed electricians in Evensville install the smart switches or luminaires, program scenes and schedules, test connectivity, and train you on the mobile app before we leave. All work is code-compliant and backed by a labor warranty plus manufacturer warranties on devices and LEDs.
