FAQs
Why should I replace my existing lights with LED fittings?
Modern LED luminaires use up to 80 % less electricity than incandescent or discharge lamps, last 5–10 times longer and generate far less heat. This translates into lower power bills, reduced air-conditioning loads, minimal maintenance, fewer lamp disposals and a substantial cut in greenhouse-gas emissions. In Robbins, where electricity rates average 12–14 ¢/kWh, most clients see immediate reductions of 40–60 % on their lighting portion of the bill as soon as the upgrade is completed.
How do lighting upgrades support a more sustainable environment?
Energy-efficient lighting is one of the quickest ways to shrink a building’s carbon footprint. Every kilowatt-hour you save prevents roughly 0.92 kg of CO₂ from being released at the power plant. By switching to LEDs, adding smart controls such as occupancy and daylight sensors, and responsibly recycling removed lamps, our Robbins team helps divert hazardous mercury found in fluorescent tubes from landfill while lowering overall demand on the grid.
Are there rebates or incentives available for lighting upgrades in Robbins?
Yes. Through ComEd’s Energy Efficiency Program and the Illinois Public Sector Electric Efficiency grants, businesses and residents in Robbins can receive cash incentives that cover 30–70 % of the material and labor cost for qualifying LED fixtures and controls. We handle the paperwork, pre-approval inspections and final submissions so you can capture all available funds without hassle.
What is the typical payback period for an LED retrofit?
For most small commercial properties in Robbins, simple payback is 1.5–3 years. Residential projects often recover costs in 2–4 years, depending on daily run-time and fixture type. With current energy prices and available rebates, internal rates of return frequently exceed 20 %—far better than many traditional investments.
Do you service both residential and commercial clients in Robbins?
Absolutely. Our licensed electricians design and install sustainable lighting solutions for single-family homes, multi-unit dwellings, retail stores, warehouses, schools and municipal facilities. We tailor fixture selection, photometric layouts and control strategies to meet the unique needs, budgets and code requirements of each customer segment.
What is the process for starting a lighting-upgrade project with your company?
1) Schedule a free on-site assessment: we audit existing fixtures, controls and energy usage. 2) Receive a detailed proposal outlining fixture specifications, projected savings, rebate amounts and ROI. 3) Approve the scope; we secure utility incentives and order materials. 4) Our certified electricians perform the installation, recycle old lamps and provide as-built documentation. 5) We verify savings and submit final paperwork so you receive rebate checks promptly. The entire process—from audit to final incentive payment—typically spans 4–6 weeks.
