FAQs
Why should I consider a lighting upgrade for my McMinnville property?
Upgrading to modern LED and smart-controlled lighting can reduce energy consumption by 50–75 %, lower maintenance costs thanks to longer lamp life (typically 50,000+ hours), and improve light quality for better safety and comfort. Local utilities in McMinnville factor lighting efficiency into building performance ratings, so an upgrade can also increase property value and support sustainability goals.
What types of lighting upgrades do you provide?
We handle complete LED retrofits, fixture replacements, intelligent controls (occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting, scheduling), exterior/site lighting upgrades, and emergency egress lighting improvements. Our team evaluates your existing fixtures, light levels, and energy profile, then designs a turnkey solution that meets Oregon Electrical Specialty Code, Title 24 energy standards, and any specific requirements for commercial, industrial, or residential spaces.
How much energy and cost savings can I expect?
Savings vary by building type and current technology, but most McMinnville clients see 40–70 % reductions in lighting kWh usage and a 2–4 year simple payback. For example, replacing 100 T8 fluorescent troffers with high-efficiency LED panels typically cuts annual electricity costs by about $2,500 at current Pacific Power rates and avoids roughly 16 metric tons of CO₂ each year.
Are there rebates or incentives available in McMinnville for lighting upgrades?
Yes. Energy Trust of Oregon offers prescriptive and custom incentives for qualifying LED fixtures and controls. Pacific Power also provides business customer rebates, and McMinnville Water & Light occasionally runs limited-time programs. We manage the paperwork, product qualification, and pre-/post-installation inspections to ensure you receive the maximum available incentive, which often covers 20–40 % of project costs.
Will a lighting upgrade disrupt my operations?
Minimal disruption is our priority. Most retrofits can be completed after hours or in phased zones to keep critical areas operational. For offices and retail spaces, we typically install 50–75 fixtures per night; for warehouses, high-bay swaps average 25–30 fixtures per shift using lift equipment. All work is performed by licensed Oregon journeyman electricians, and we handle cleanup so you can open as usual the next morning.
How much does a lighting upgrade cost and do you offer financing?
Project costs depend on fixture quantity, mounting height, and control complexity. As a guideline, commercial interior LED retrofits in McMinnville run $7–$12 per square foot before rebates. We offer 0 % utility on-bill financing (up to 60 months) and third-party capital leases that allow you to pay for the upgrade with the energy savings.
