FAQs
What are smart lighting controls, and how do they work?
Smart lighting controls replace or augment traditional wall switches and dimmers with network-enabled devices and sensors. They communicate via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, or hard-wired low-voltage lines to a central hub or mobile app, allowing you to turn lights on/off, dim, set schedules, or trigger scenes from your phone, voice assistant, or an automated routine. In Harriman, our technicians integrate these controls with existing electrical circuits, ensuring safe operation and compliance with local codes.
What advantages will a smart lighting upgrade bring to my Harriman home or business?
Benefits include up to 60 % energy savings through occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting, and dimming; increased comfort and productivity with custom lighting scenes; enhanced security via randomized vacation-mode operation; and real-time usage data that helps you qualify for utility rebates. Businesses often see shorter payback periods (1–3 years) due to extended operating hours and demand-response incentives offered by Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) programs.
Can I keep my existing light fixtures, or do I need all new luminaires?
In most cases you can keep your current fixtures. We typically replace the switch or add an in-line smart relay, then retrofit lamps with dimmable LED bulbs if necessary. For fluorescent troffers, we offer ballast-compatible smart drivers or complete LED retrofit kits. Full fixture replacement is only recommended when your luminaires are outdated, inefficient, or incompatible with dimming protocols.
How long will the installation take, and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A typical single-family home takes 1–2 days, while a commercial space can range from a weekend to a week, depending on size and wiring complexity. We schedule work in phases—assessment, pre-wiring, device swap-outs, and commissioning—to minimize downtime. Power interruptions to each circuit last only a few minutes, and we clean up each area before moving on.
Are there rebates or tax incentives available for smart lighting upgrades in Harriman?
Yes. The TVA EnergyRight program offers rebates for qualifying smart controls and LED retrofits. Residential customers can earn $0.30–$0.60 per watt reduced, while businesses may receive performance-based incentives after a post-installation audit. Additionally, the federal Commercial Buildings Tax Deduction (Section 179D) may allow accelerated depreciation for energy-efficient lighting systems installed before 2025. We handle all paperwork and verification tests to secure these savings for you.
What kind of support and maintenance do you provide after installation?
Every project includes a 3-year workmanship warranty and manufacturer warranties up to 5 years on devices. We provide an owner’s manual, system map, and free app training. Remote diagnostics allow us to troubleshoot most issues without a site visit, and our local Harriman team offers 24-hour emergency service. Firmware updates, scene adjustments, and sensor recalibration are covered by our annual service plan or available à la carte.
