FAQs
How much can I save on my utility bill by upgrading to LED lighting in Jacksboro?
Most Jack County customers see lighting-related energy use fall 50–70 %. Based on Oncor’s current small-commercial rate of roughly 11¢ per kWh, swapping thirty 4-lamp T8 fixtures for LED panels can save about 12,000 kWh, or $1,300 a year. Larger facilities often save many thousands annually once interior, exterior, and signage lighting are all upgraded.
Which types of facilities gain the greatest benefit from a lighting upgrade?
Any building that keeps lights on more than eight hours a day—such as grocery stores, manufacturing plants, oil-field shops, schools, and municipal buildings—ranks at the top. Warehouses with high-bay fixtures and parking lots with metal-halide poles also experience rapid payback because LEDs slash both wattage and maintenance calls that require bucket trucks.
Are rebates or tax incentives available for energy-efficient lighting projects in Jacksboro?
Yes. Oncor’s Commercial Standard Offer Program usually covers 15–40 % of project cost, depending on verified kWh savings. Federal benefits include the Section 179D deduction (up to $1.88/ft² in 2023) and 100 % bonus depreciation for qualifying equipment. Rural businesses may also tap USDA’s REAP grant for up to 25 % of costs. Our team prepares every rebate and incentive form so you receive the credits without paperwork headaches.
Will my business have to shut down during installation?
Rarely. Most retrofits are performed after hours or in cordoned-off zones so operations continue. Because LEDs often reuse existing conduit and switching, we can swap fixtures quickly—typically 8–12 troffers per hour. Any brief power interruptions are scheduled with your staff in advance to prevent production or point-of-sale disruptions.
How long does it take to earn back the investment?
In Jacksboro, simple payback for an LED project typically ranges from 1 to 3 years. The exact timeline depends on hours of operation, rebate level, and current lamp type. After payback, the ongoing savings flow straight to your bottom line, creating internal rates of return of 30 – 60 %. Reduced re-lamp labor and avoided ballast replacements add another 10–15 % to overall project value.
