FAQs
Why should I consider modern lighting upgrades for my Sewanee home or business?
Upgrading to contemporary lighting improves both aesthetics and function. New LED fixtures deliver brighter, more consistent light, reduce eye strain, and highlight architectural details. They also cut energy use by up to 75 percent compared with older incandescent or fluorescent lamps, lowering monthly utility bills and shrinking your carbon footprint.
What specific lighting solutions do you install?
We design and install recessed LED downlights, slim under-cabinet task lighting, decorative pendants, smart dimmers, exterior landscape lighting, pathway bollards, and color-tunable fixtures that let you shift from warm to cool tones on demand. All products meet UL safety standards and are suited to Sewanee’s climate and elevation.
Can you retrofit existing fixtures, or do I need a full replacement?
In many cases we can retrofit your current housings with LED retrofit kits, preserving ceiling finishes and reducing labor costs. However, if fixtures are outdated, damaged, or inefficient, a full replacement may be more cost-effective long-term. During our on-site assessment we’ll explain both options and provide a side-by-side cost comparison.
How long does a typical lighting-upgrade project take in Sewanee?
A standard single-family residence (12–20 fixtures) usually takes one to two days, including removal of old lamps, installation, and system testing. Commercial spaces or large homes with advanced controls may require three to five days. We schedule work to minimize downtime and always clean up thoroughly at day’s end.
Will new lighting affect my home’s electrical load or require panel upgrades?
LED fixtures draw significantly less current than older bulbs, so they rarely overload existing circuits. In fact, many clients free up capacity. If your electrical panel is already maxed out or outdated (e.g., fuse boxes or 60 amp service), we’ll advise on panel upgrades and provide a detailed quote before proceeding.
What warranties and maintenance support do you offer?
Most LED fixtures carry manufacturer warranties of 5–10 years or 50,000 hours of operation. Our craftsmanship is covered by a two-year labor warranty. We also offer optional annual maintenance plans, which include fixture cleaning, smart-control firmware updates, and free lamp replacements if any fail within warranty.
