FAQs
What advantages do cutting-edge LED lighting upgrades offer over my current fixtures?
Modern LED systems consume up to 80 % less electricity than incandescent or halogen lamps, last 25,000–50,000 hours, and produce far less heat. In New Market, where utility rates have risen steadily, this translates into significant monthly energy-bill reductions, lower HVAC load, and almost zero bulb-replacement costs for a decade or more.
Can new smart lighting be integrated with my existing home-automation platform?
Yes. We install fixtures and controls that natively support protocols such as Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Z-Wave, and Matter. After installation, you can dim, color-tune, or schedule lights through voice assistants (Alexa, Google, Siri) or a single mobile app. If you already have a hub, we pair devices during commissioning and show you how to create scenes and automations tailored to your lifestyle.
How long does a typical whole-home lighting upgrade take in the New Market area?
A standard three-bedroom residence usually requires two days onsite: one for pre-wiring or retrofitting the fixtures and one for installing smart switches, programming, and client walkthrough. Larger or older homes may extend to three-four days if additional electrical panel work or attic access is needed. We schedule all work to minimize downtime and leave at least one functional lighting circuit at all times.
Do I need permits or inspections for lighting upgrades in New Market?
Most fixture replacements don’t require a separate building permit, but any new wiring, panel modifications, or low-voltage control cabling must comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the latest Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code adopted by New Market. Our master electricians pull all necessary permits, coordinate Shenandoah County inspections, and provide completion certificates for your records.
What incentives or rebates are available for energy-efficient lighting?
Dominion Energy and Shenandoah Valley Electric Cooperative currently offer residential rebates of $0.30–$0.50 per qualifying LED lamp and up to $600 for whole-home smart lighting projects that demonstrate at least 15 % kWh savings. We handle all rebate paperwork and supply the post-installation energy-usage report you’ll need for submission. Federal tax credits may also apply when upgrades are part of a larger energy-efficiency project.
How soon will I see a return on investment (ROI) after upgrading?
For most homes in New Market, payback occurs in 18–30 months. A family replacing twenty 75-watt incandescent bulbs with 10-watt smart LEDs saves roughly 1,200 kWh per year—about $170 based on regional rates. Add reduced maintenance and available rebates, and the upfront cost of fixtures, controls, and installation is usually recovered within two years, after which the savings continue to accumulate for the life of the system.
