FAQs
What types of lighting upgrades do you specialize in for Rockford businesses and homes?
We design and install a full range of energy-efficient lighting solutions, including LED retrofits, smart controls, high-bay and low-bay fixtures, exterior security lighting, emergency egress fixtures, and decorative architectural luminaires. Our team evaluates your current system, recommends the best products for your goals, and manages the entire upgrade from permitting to final inspection.
How much energy can I expect to save by switching to LED lighting?
Most customers in the Rockford area see energy savings of 50–70 % when replacing outdated fluorescents, HIDs, or incandescents with modern LEDs. Savings depend on fixture wattage, burn hours, and available daylight. We perform a lighting audit to calculate projected kilowatt-hour reductions and provide an ROI report before any work begins.
Are there local rebates or incentives available for lighting upgrades?
Yes. ComEd’s Energy Efficiency Program and the Illinois Energy Now incentives frequently offer rebates that cover 30–60 % of project costs for qualifying LED fixtures, sensors, and controls. Our staff handles all paperwork, pre-approvals, and post-installation verification so you receive every dollar you’re entitled to without hassle.
Will a lighting upgrade disrupt my daily operations?
We schedule work around your timetable—nights, weekends, or phased areas—to minimize downtime. Most retrofits are completed with plug-and-play kits and lift equipment that allow us to swap fixtures quickly and safely. If power shut-offs are required, they are planned for off-peak hours and communicated well in advance.
Do you offer lighting controls and smart automation?
Absolutely. Pairing LEDs with occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting photocells, and wireless control hubs can add another 20-30 % in energy savings. We integrate systems compatible with DALI, 0–10 V dimming, or PoE networks and provide mobile app or BMS connectivity so you can monitor and adjust lighting from anywhere.
What kind of warranty and maintenance support do you provide?
All fixtures we install carry manufacturer warranties of 5–10 years, and many include L70 lumen maintenance guarantees. Our workmanship is covered for a full year, and we offer optional maintenance plans for annual cleaning, photometric testing, and firmware updates. Should an issue arise, local Rockford technicians will respond within 24 hours to diagnose and resolve it.
