FAQs
What kinds of lighting upgrades do you provide for homes and businesses in Friendsville?
We handle everything from simple lamp-for-lamp LED retrofits to complete intelligent lighting solutions. Options include high-efficiency LED troffers, low-bay and high-bay fixtures, architectural accent lighting, outdoor/security luminaires, color-tunable lamps, occupancy and daylight sensors, and fully networked control systems that can be managed from a smartphone or building-management platform.
How much energy and money can I expect to save by converting to innovative LED and smart-control technology?
Most Friendsville clients cut lighting energy use 50–75 %. When smart controls (occupancy sensing, scheduling, daylight harvesting, and dimming) are added, total savings often reach 80 %. For a typical 10,000 ft² commercial space, that can translate into $3,000–$6,000 in annual utility savings and a project payback of 18–36 months. Lower maintenance costs (no more frequent lamp replacements) further boost long-term ROI.
Are there rebates or tax incentives available for lighting upgrades in the Friendsville area?
Yes. As part of the TVA EnergyRight program, many LED fixtures and controls earn prescriptive or custom rebates that can offset 10–30 % of project cost. Federal 179D tax deductions (up to $5.00 per square foot under the Inflation Reduction Act) and bonus depreciation may also apply for qualifying commercial buildings. Our team completes all paperwork, submits energy calculations, and tracks payments so you capture every available financial incentive.
What does the installation process look like, and will my operations be disrupted?
1) Free on-site assessment and lighting audit. 2) Detailed proposal showing energy modeling, photometrics, and cost-savings projections. 3) Scheduling to match your downtime—nights, weekends, or phased zones. 4) Professional installation by licensed electricians following NEC and local Friendsville codes. 5) Post-installation commissioning and training. Most projects are completed with minimal interruption; individual fixture swaps take only minutes, and complete system upgrades are often finished within 1–3 days for average-sized facilities.
Can your new lighting systems integrate with my existing electrical infrastructure and smart-home or building-automation platform?
Absolutely. We use open-protocol (DALI, 0–10 V, Zigbee, Bluetooth Mesh, or PoE) fixtures and controls that tie into popular hubs such as Google Home, Amazon Alexa, SmartThings, BACnet, and Niagara-based BAS. If your panelboards are older, we can add sub-metering and low-voltage control wiring without expensive service upgrades. You gain real-time monitoring, remote dimming, and the ability to create scenes or schedules that coordinate with HVAC and security systems.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance, monitoring, and warranty support after the upgrade is complete?
Yes. All LED fixtures carry factory warranties of 5–10 years, and our labor is warranted for a minimum of 1 year. Optional extended service plans include annual system check-ups, firmware updates, emergency repairs within 24 hours, and cloud-based performance dashboards that alert us (and you) if a driver fails or a sensor goes offline. This proactive approach maximizes uptime and safeguards your investment for the long haul.
