FAQs
What types of lighting upgrades qualify as energy-efficient?
We focus on high-efficacy LED fixtures, smart controls (such as occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting, and dimmers), and ENERGY STAR® or DLC-listed products. Replacing fluorescent tubes, metal-halide, or incandescent bulbs with these modern solutions typically reduces energy use by 50–80 % while improving light quality and longevity.
How much can I save on my electricity bill by upgrading my lighting?
Savings depend on your current system and operating hours, but most Mulberry homes and businesses see a 30–60 % drop in lighting energy costs. For a 10,000-sq-ft commercial space operating 12 hours/day, that can translate into $2,000–$4,000 in annual savings. Residential customers often save $100–$300 per year per household.
Are there rebates or incentives in Mulberry for energy-efficient lighting installations?
Yes. Local utilities such as TECO and Duke Energy Florida periodically offer rebates for qualifying LED fixtures, controls, and retrofits. The federal Inflation Reduction Act also provides tax credits (up to 30 %) for certain efficiency improvements. Our team tracks current programs and will handle the paperwork to maximize your incentive package.
How long does an average lighting upgrade take and will it disrupt my home or business operations?
Most residential retrofits are completed in one day. Small commercial projects average 1–3 days, while larger facilities may require phased work over a week. We schedule installations during off-hours when requested, use dust-free practices, and keep critical areas lit throughout the process to minimize downtime.
Do LED lights really last longer and what maintenance is required?
Quality LEDs are rated for 50,000–100,000 hours—5–10 times longer than fluorescent or HID lamps. That equates to 10–20 years in typical residential use and 5–7 years in 24/7 commercial applications. LEDs have no filaments or ballasts to fail, so maintenance is largely reduced to periodic cleaning of lenses and fixtures.
Can your team handle both residential and commercial energy-efficiency projects?
Absolutely. We are licensed Florida electrical contractors experienced in homes, retail spaces, warehouses, schools, and industrial plants. Our services include audit, design, rebate administration, installation, and post-project verification, ensuring each client—from single-family homeowners to multi-site businesses—receives a turnkey, code-compliant solution.
