FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my home or business lighting in Sequatchie?
Modern lighting technology—especially LEDs—uses up to 75 % less electricity than traditional incandescent or fluorescent fixtures, produces far less heat, and lasts 5–10 times longer. In Sequatchie, where both residential and commercial electric rates continue to rise, upgrading can cut monthly utility bills, reduce maintenance costs, and improve visual comfort and safety. A fresh lighting design can also enhance property value and create a more welcoming atmosphere for family, employees, and customers.
What types of lighting upgrades do you offer?
Our licensed electricians provide turnkey solutions for nearly any setting: • Interior LED retrofits for cans, troffers, pendants, and accent lighting • Exterior upgrades for parking lots, façades, and landscape lighting • Smart controls such as occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting, and dimming systems • High-bay and low-bay fixtures for warehouses, gyms, and barns • Decorative and architectural lighting that maintains the character of Sequatchie’s historic properties • Emergency and exit lighting that meets life-safety codes. We handle design, product sourcing, installation, and recycling of old lamps and ballasts.
How much can I expect to save on energy bills with an LED upgrade?
Savings vary by building type and operating hours, but most Sequatchie customers see a 50–70 % reduction in lighting energy use. For example, replacing thirty 60-W incandescents with 10-W LEDs can save roughly $250 per year at current TVA rates. Commercial projects often recoup their investment in 12–30 months thanks to lower wattage, reduced HVAC load (less heat), and virtually maintenance-free operation for 50,000 hours or more.
Are there rebates or incentives available in Sequatchie or Tennessee for lighting upgrades?
Yes. Through TVA’s EnergyRight program, qualifying residential and business customers can receive cash incentives for verified LED and control installations. Additional tax deductions under the federal Energy Efficient Commercial Buildings Deduction (Section 179D) may apply to larger projects. We help clients identify eligible products, prepare documentation, and submit rebate applications so they capture every dollar of available savings.
What is the typical process and timeline for a lighting upgrade project?
1. Free on-site assessment: We measure existing light levels, count fixtures, and review electrical panels (about 1–2 hours for homes, half-day for businesses). 2. Proposal & ROI report: Within 48 hours you receive a detailed quote, energy-savings projection, and rebate estimate. 3. Scheduling & material procurement: Once approved, we order fixtures (1–2 weeks, many items stocked locally). 4. Installation: Small residential jobs finish in a day; midsize commercial projects take 2–5 days with minimal disruption. 5. Inspection & disposal: Our team handles county permit inspections and recycles old lamps per EPA guidelines. 6. Follow-up: We provide warranty paperwork and optional annual lighting check-ups.
Will the new lighting fixtures comply with local codes and improve safety?
Absolutely. All products we install carry UL or ETL listings and meet current NEC and Tennessee state electrical codes. Fixtures are selected for proper color temperature, glare control, and photometric distribution, ensuring adequate illumination of task areas, exits, and exterior walkways. By upgrading, you also eliminate outdated ballasts that can overheat, reduce the risk of mercury release from fluorescent tubes, and improve overall occupant safety.
