FAQs
What types of energy-efficient lighting upgrades do you offer in Maynardville?
We specialize in retrofitting existing fixtures with LED lamps, installing new high-efficiency LED luminaires, adding motion and occupancy sensors, and integrating daylight-harvesting controls. Whether you need replacements for fluorescent troffers, HID high-bay lights, or exterior parking lot fixtures, we provide products that meet or exceed ENERGY STAR and DesignLights Consortium (DLC) standards.
How much can I expect to save on my electric bill after an LED upgrade?
Most customers see lighting-related energy costs drop by 50–75%. For example, replacing a 400 W metal-halide high-bay with a 150 W LED can cut energy use by roughly 63%, and savings increase further when controls like motion sensors dim or shut off lights when spaces are unoccupied. Typical payback periods in Maynardville range from 1.5 to 4 years, depending on operating hours and any available incentives.
Are there rebates or tax incentives available for lighting upgrades in Maynardville?
Yes. Knoxville Utilities Board (KUB) and TVA often run prescriptive and custom rebate programs that give cash incentives per fixture or per kWh saved. In addition, the federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and the Energy-Efficient Commercial Buildings Deduction (Section 179D) can offset a portion of project costs. We handle all paperwork and pre-approval steps to make sure you receive every dollar you qualify for.
Will new LED fixtures work with my existing wiring and controls?
In most cases, yes. LED retrofits can be designed for direct-wire (ballast-bypass) or plug-and-play operation with existing line voltage. If your current system includes 0-10 V dimming or relay-based controls, we select compatible drivers so you don’t have to rewire. For older buildings, we perform a free site audit to verify voltage, circuit capacity, and control compatibility before installation.
How disruptive is the installation process for my business or home?
We schedule work during off-peak hours—nights or weekends for commercial clients, and convenient appointment windows for homeowners. Most fixture swaps take 15–30 minutes each, and our crews clean up and recycle old lamps through EPA-approved channels. Your spaces remain fully operational with minimal downtime, and we always follow OSHA safety protocols.
What kind of maintenance and warranty coverage do you provide?
LED products we install typically carry 5- to 10-year manufacturer warranties covering lumen maintenance, color shift, and driver failure. Because LEDs have no filaments or fragile glass, routine maintenance is limited to occasional lens cleaning and inspection of control sensors. We also offer optional service agreements that include annual performance checks and on-site replacements at no additional labor cost.
