FAQs
What are the main advantages of upgrading to energy-efficient lighting in Hixson?
Switching to energy-efficient fixtures—most often LED—reduces electricity use by 50–80 %, lowers monthly utility bills, and cuts maintenance costs because lamps last 10–25 times longer than traditional bulbs. Improved light quality can boost comfort and safety, while lower heat output eases the load on air-conditioning systems, which is especially helpful in Hixson’s warm, humid climate.
What kinds of lighting upgrades do you provide?
We handle complete LED retrofits (replacing fluorescent, HID, or incandescent lamps and ballasts), new high-efficiency fixture installs, exterior parking-lot and wall-pack conversions, decorative and architectural accent lighting, and advanced lighting-control systems such as occupancy sensors, daylight-harvesting sensors, dimmers, and networked smart controls compatible with building-automation platforms.
How much can I expect to save after an LED upgrade?
Actual savings vary by building type and hours of operation, but most customers see a 50–70 % drop in lighting-related energy use. For example, a 10,000-sq-ft office that spends about $600 per month on lighting may save $300–$420 monthly after the retrofit. Simple payback periods usually fall between 1.5 and 3 years, and many projects reach a net positive cash flow in the very first month when financed.
Are rebates or tax incentives available for energy-efficient lighting in Tennessee?
Yes. TVA’s EnergyRight program currently offers prescriptive and custom incentives for qualifying LED fixtures and controls installed in commercial and industrial facilities across the Hixson area. Federal tax deductions under §179D and the Inflation Reduction Act can also apply. We assist clients by preparing rebate paperwork, supplying product cut sheets, and coordinating post-installation inspections so you receive every dollar you’re entitled to.
Will the installation disrupt my business operations?
We schedule work around your hours—nights, weekends, or phased area-by-area—minimizing downtime. Most retrofits are non-invasive: existing fixtures are re-lampped or replaced using existing wiring, so there’s little dust or noise. A typical small office retrofit can be completed in one evening, while a large warehouse may take several days, but sections remain operational throughout the process.
Can smart controls or automation be integrated with the new lighting system?
Absolutely. Modern LED drivers are fully compatible with networked control platforms such as DALI, 0-10 V, Bluetooth Mesh, and PoE. We can tie lighting into building-management systems for scheduling, occupancy tracking, daylight dimming, and remote monitoring. These controls can deliver an extra 20–40 % energy reduction on top of LED savings and provide valuable data analytics for ongoing optimization.
