FAQs
What kinds of lighting upgrades do you provide for Hixson homes and businesses?
We handle virtually every interior and exterior lighting need, including LED retrofits, recessed cans, pendant and chandelier installation, under-cabinet and cove lighting, landscape and security lighting, ceiling-fan lights, commercial lay-in troffers, and complete lighting redesigns. All fixtures are sourced from trusted manufacturers and installed to National Electrical Code (NEC) standards.
How can a lighting upgrade improve my energy efficiency and utility bills?
Swapping out older incandescent or fluorescent fixtures for high-efficiency LEDs can cut lighting energy use by 60–80 %, run cooler to lessen HVAC load, and last 25,000–50,000 hours—meaning fewer bulb changes. Many upgrades also qualify for TVA or EPB rebates, giving Hixson property owners an extra upfront savings.
Will I need a permit, and do you take care of the paperwork?
Simple one-for-one fixture replacements usually require no permit, but adding new circuits, recessed cans, or exterior lighting almost always does. Our team pulls any necessary City of Chattanooga/Hamilton County permits, schedules inspections, and provides you with the final approval documents so you never have to navigate red tape.
How long does a typical lighting upgrade project take?
A single-room fixture swap can be done in 1–2 hours, a whole-home LED retrofit typically finishes in one day, and larger remodel or new-construction projects may span 2–3 days. Before work begins, we give you a detailed schedule and keep you informed of progress at every step.
Can you integrate smart controls or automation with my new lights?
Absolutely. We install Wi-Fi, Zigbee, and Z-Wave dimmers, motion sensors, and whole-house lighting hubs that work with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit. In most cases we can utilize your existing wiring, giving you app-based or voice control without a major remodel.
What safety practices do your electricians follow during installation?
All work is performed by licensed, insured electricians who shut off power at the panel, verify circuits with voltage testers, and use appropriate PPE. We protect floors and furniture with drop cloths, follow NEC guidelines, and complete a final point-by-point inspection. Every installation is backed by a workmanship warranty and a cleanup guarantee.
