FAQs
What lighting upgrade services do you offer in Loudon?
We handle the full spectrum of residential and light-commercial lighting upgrades, including LED retrofits, recessed can installations, under-cabinet task lighting, landscape and security lighting, ceiling fan-light combos, smart-home dimmer and control systems, and panel or circuit expansions to support new fixtures. Every project is completed in accordance with the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) and Loudon County building requirements.
Why should I replace my existing fixtures with LED lighting?
LEDs use up to 75% less energy than traditional incandescent or halogen bulbs and last 15–25 times longer, which cuts utility bills and maintenance costs. They also run cooler, reducing heat load in your home, and are available in a wide range of color temperatures and brightness levels, allowing you to tailor light quality to each room’s purpose. Our licensed electricians will recommend ENERGY STAR-qualified products that maximize rebate eligibility through the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and local utility programs.
Will I need a permit for lighting upgrades in Loudon, and do you handle it?
Most structural wiring changes—such as adding new circuits, relocating junction boxes, or installing exterior lighting—require an electrical permit from Loudon County Codes Enforcement. We secure all necessary permits on your behalf, schedule inspections, and provide you with copies of approvals for your records, ensuring the project meets both local ordinances and insurance requirements.
How long does a typical lighting upgrade project take?
Smaller jobs like swapping fixtures or adding dimmer switches can be completed in one visit of 1–3 hours. Full-home LED conversions or multi-room recessed lighting installs generally take 1–2 days, while complex projects involving panel upgrades or outdoor landscape lighting may span 3–5 days, including inspection time. We provide a detailed timeline during your on-site consultation and keep you updated on progress each day.
What will my lighting upgrade cost?
Costs vary based on fixture type, wiring complexity, and ceiling accessibility. As a ballpark, single-room LED recessed lighting starts around $800, whole-home LED retrofits average $1,500–$3,500, and outdoor security or landscape lighting packages range from $1,200 to $4,500. After a free assessment, we give you a fixed, written quote that includes all labor, materials, permit fees, and post-installation cleanup—no hidden charges.
How do you ensure safety and workmanship quality?
Our electricians are Tennessee-licensed, insured, and OSHA-certified. We use only UL-listed components, perform load calculations to prevent circuit overloads, and test every new connection with calibrated meters. All work carries a 3-year labor warranty and manufacturer warranties on fixtures. Upon completion, we walk you through each upgrade, demonstrate controls, and leave you with an itemized inspection checklist and warranty packet.
