FAQs
What kinds of lighting upgrades do you provide for homes and businesses in Jonesborough?
We handle everything from basic fixture replacements to full-scale lighting redesigns. Popular services include LED retrofits, recessed can installations, pendant and chandelier upgrades, under-cabinet task lighting, exterior/security lighting additions, smart-switch conversions, and energy-efficient lighting controls. If you’re unsure which option best suits your space, our master electrician will perform a walk-through and present tailored recommendations.
Why should I consider upgrading my existing lighting system?
Modern lighting upgrades deliver lower utility bills, brighter and more consistent illumination, longer bulb life, and reduced maintenance. They can also improve safety—both by cutting fire risk associated with outdated wiring and by enhancing visibility in critical areas like stairways or parking lots. In many cases, updated fixtures add resale value and instantly refresh the look of your property without major remodeling.
Are LED conversions really worth the investment?
Yes. LEDs use up to 75 % less electricity than incandescent or halogen bulbs and last 15–25 times longer. In most Jonesborough homes, the payback period is under two years, and commercial facilities often recoup costs within 12 months through lower energy consumption and fewer replacement cycles. Additionally, LEDs run cooler, reducing HVAC load in the summer, and they come in a wide range of color temperatures to match any design aesthetic.
Do I need an electrical panel upgrade to add new lighting?
Not usually—most lighting circuits draw minimal amperage. However, if your panel is already at capacity or you still have obsolete fuse boxes, we may recommend a panel or sub-panel upgrade to ensure safe operation and code compliance. During our initial assessment, we measure circuit loads, check breaker condition, and advise you on the best course of action before any work begins.
How long does a typical lighting upgrade project take?
A simple swap of a few fixtures can be completed in a single afternoon, while whole-home LED retrofits or commercial lighting redesigns may span one to three days. We schedule work around your convenience, protect furnishings and flooring with drop cloths, and perform a full cleanup once finished. You’ll receive a clear timeline in your written proposal so you know exactly what to expect.
Are permits and inspections required, and do you handle them?
Yes—Washington County and the Town of Jonesborough require permits for most electrical work, including significant lighting upgrades. We secure all necessary permits, schedule inspections, and guarantee our work meets or exceeds the current National Electrical Code (NEC) as adopted locally. You receive copies of all inspection approvals for your records, ensuring complete peace of mind.
