FAQs
Why should I consider a lighting upgrade for my Harriman property?
Older incandescent, halogen, and many first-generation fluorescent fixtures waste up to 70% of the electricity they consume as heat. Modern LED fixtures deliver the same or better illumination using 50–80% less energy, last 5–10 times longer, and emit far less heat, which can also reduce cooling costs. Upgrading lowers monthly utility bills, cuts maintenance expenses, improves light quality, and increases property value—a win for homeowners, businesses, and industrial sites alike.
What kinds of lighting upgrades do you install?
We offer a full line of high-efficiency solutions, including LED retrofits for existing troffers, high-bay and low-bay fixtures for warehouses, architectural and recessed LED downlights, exterior wall packs and pole lighting, occupancy and daylight-harvesting sensors, smart controls, and emergency/exit lighting systems. Every project starts with a lighting assessment so we can match lumen levels, color temperature, and controls to your exact needs and budget.
How much money and energy can I realistically save?
Savings vary by building type and usage, but most Harriman clients see 50–70% lower lighting-related kWh consumption. For example, swapping 100 T8 fluorescent fixtures for LEDs can save about 19,000 kWh annually —roughly $2,000 per year at local utility rates. When maintenance and HVAC savings are included, payback periods typically fall between 1 and 3 years, with ROI often exceeding 30%.
Are rebates or tax incentives available in Harriman for lighting upgrades?
Yes. TVA’s EnergyRight program and local utility rebates can cover $0.05–$0.10 per kWh saved or offer a flat incentive per fixture. Federal tax deductions under Section 179D may also apply to commercial buildings that cut lighting power density by 25% or more. We handle all paperwork, site inspections, and measurement & verification to make sure you receive every dollar you qualify for.
Will the installation disrupt my business or household routine?
Minimal disruption is a top priority. For commercial projects we schedule work during off-hours, section off areas safely, and coordinate with facility managers to maintain productivity. Residential upgrades are usually completed in a single day. Our licensed electricians follow NEC and OSHA guidelines, clean up thoroughly, and test every circuit before leaving so you can get back to normal operations immediately.
Do you offer free energy audits, and what does the process involve?
Absolutely. A certified energy specialist visits your site, documents existing fixtures, measures light levels, and reviews utility bills. Within 3–5 days you receive a comprehensive proposal detailing current vs. projected energy costs, fixture layouts, available rebates, and a precise payback analysis. If you approve the plan, we order materials, file rebate paperwork, and schedule installation—turnkey service from audit to final inspection.
