FAQs

Why should I consider a lighting upgrade for my Jonesborough property?

Upgrading to modern LED or high-efficiency lighting can cut energy use for illumination by 50–80 %, lower monthly utility bills, reduce maintenance costs thanks to longer lamp life, and improve light quality and safety. For businesses, better lighting can also boost employee productivity and enhance the customer experience.

How much money can I save by switching to LED lighting?

Actual savings depend on your current fixtures, operating hours, and local utility rates, but most Jonesborough homeowners save $100–$300 per year, while small businesses often save $1,000 or more. LEDs use up to 80 % less electricity than incandescent bulbs and last 10–25 times longer, so you’ll also spend far less on replacements.

Are there rebates or incentives available in Jonesborough for lighting upgrades?

Yes. BrightRidge and TVA often offer prescriptive rebates for qualifying LED fixtures, controls, and occupancy sensors. Incentives can offset 20–40 % of project costs. Our team helps you identify programs, complete paperwork, and secure rebates so you see the savings sooner.

What is the typical payback period for a commercial lighting retrofit?

For most retail, office, and industrial facilities in Jonesborough, the payback period ranges from 1.5 to 3 years. Factoring in utility rebates and reduced maintenance costs can shorten payback to under 18 months. After payback, energy savings translate directly into bottom-line profit.

Will new LED fixtures work with my existing wiring and controls?

In many cases, yes. Most LED fixtures are designed to retrofit into standard sockets and can operate on existing 120-277 V circuits. However, to gain full dimming and smart-control benefits, you may need compatible drivers or new controls. We perform a site survey to verify compatibility, ensure code compliance, and outline any needed upgrades.

How disruptive is the installation process and how long does it take?

Residential upgrades typically finish in one day with minimal disruption. Commercial projects are scheduled during off-hours or phased zones to avoid downtime. Our licensed electricians handle all permitting, disposal of old lamps under EPA guidelines, and post-installation testing. Most projects—regardless of size—are completed within 1–2 weeks.
