FAQs
Why should I upgrade my facility’s lighting to high-efficiency LED fixtures?
LED technology consumes up to 70 % less electricity than traditional fluorescent, metal-halide or incandescent lamps while delivering equal or better light output. In addition, LEDs last 50,000–100,000 hours—about 5-10 times longer than legacy lamps—so you spend far less on replacements and maintenance. Better color rendering, instant start with no flicker, and minimal heat generation also improve occupant comfort and safety.
How much money can I expect to save after a lighting upgrade?
Typical commercial and industrial clients in Petros see utility bill reductions of 40–70 %. For example, a 50,000 ft² warehouse that spends $3,000 per month on lighting can save $1,200–$2,100 monthly, paying back the project in as little as 1–3 years. We provide a free site audit and an energy-savings model so you can see projected kWh reductions, dollar savings, and ROI before any work begins.
Will new LED fixtures work with my existing wiring and controls?
In most cases, yes. We offer plug-and-play LED tube replacements that fit existing fluorescent troffers, as well as complete fixture swaps that connect to your current branch circuits. Our engineers inspect your panels, voltage, and control wiring to verify compatibility. If upgrades to dimmers, sensors, or emergency circuits are needed, we include them in the proposal so there are no surprises during installation.
Are rebates or tax incentives available in Petros to offset project costs?
Absolutely. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and local utilities serving Petros offer prescriptive and custom rebates for LED fixtures, lighting controls, and delamping projects. Federal tax code Section 179D may also allow accelerated depreciation. Our team identifies every applicable incentive, prepares the documentation, and submits it on your behalf, reducing out-of-pocket costs by 20–40 % on average.
Will upgrading my lighting disrupt daily operations?
We schedule work around your production or business hours, completing most retrofits after hours or on weekends. Many fixtures can be swapped in minutes using lifts, with minimal dust or noise. For 24/7 facilities, we use phased installations, isolating small areas at a time so your staff stay productive. All debris is removed nightly, and safety barriers keep walkways clear.
What services does Petros Energy Efficiency provide after the installation is complete?
Every project includes a 5-year parts and labor warranty, a post-installation lighting level validation, and training for your maintenance staff. We monitor utility bills for 12 months to verify actual savings against projections, and if a fixture fails prematurely, we handle the warranty claim and replacement at no cost. Optional ongoing service agreements cover additional lighting adjustments, sensor recalibration, and annual energy reports.
