FAQs
Why should I upgrade my existing lighting to LED or other high-efficiency options?
Modern LED and high-efficiency fixtures use 50-80 % less electricity than traditional incandescent or fluorescent lamps, produce less heat, and last 5–10 times longer (often 50,000 hours or more). For homes and businesses in Jonesborough this translates into lower utility bills, reduced maintenance costs, improved light quality, and a smaller environmental footprint.
What kinds of lighting upgrades do you provide in the Jonesborough area?
We design and install complete LED retrofits (screw-in lamps, linear tubes, or full-fixture replacements), smart lighting controls and occupancy sensors, exterior/security lighting, decorative accent lighting, and custom solutions for offices, retail spaces, and historic homes. All products are UL-listed and selected to meet Tennessee energy codes.
How much money can I save after an upgrade?
Savings vary with usage, but most clients see a 50–70 % reduction in lighting energy costs. In a typical three-bedroom home that means $150–$250 a year; in a midsize commercial building, $2,000–$6,000 or more. Because LEDs last years longer than legacy lamps, you also avoid frequent bulb purchases and labor costs, delivering a payback period of 1–3 years for most projects.
Will upgrading my lighting require changes to my current wiring?
In many cases we can retrofit new LED lamps or ballasts into existing fixtures without modifying branch circuits. When a full-fixture replacement or smart-control system is specified, minor wiring adjustments may be needed; our licensed electricians handle all work, permitting, and code compliance so you don’t have to worry about safety or inspections.
How long does the installation process take, and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A straightforward residential swap can be completed in a single day. Small offices typically take one to two days, while larger commercial facilities may require phased work over a week to maintain operations. We schedule around your business hours when possible and remove all debris so spaces are clean and ready for use immediately.
Are rebates or incentives available for lighting upgrades in Jonesborough or Tennessee?
Yes. TVA’s EnergyRight program and Bright Energy Solutions often offer per-fixture or per-watt rebates for qualifying LED installations. We handle the paperwork, provide energy calculations, and apply on your behalf so you receive every dollar of incentive available. Federal tax deductions for commercial energy efficiency (Section 179D) may also apply.
