FAQs
What types of advanced lighting technologies do you install in Sharps Chapel homes and businesses?
We specialize in high-efficiency LED fixtures, smart bulbs, low-voltage accent lighting, tunable white and full-color RGBW systems, occupancy and daylight-harvesting sensors, and networked control platforms (Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Z-Wave, and PoE). Whether you need task lighting for a kitchen remodel or an enterprise-grade solution for a marina or workshop, we can design and install a custom system that fits your space and budget.
How much can I save by upgrading to LED and smart lighting?
LEDs typically use 60–80 % less electricity than comparable incandescent or halogen lamps and last up to 25 times longer (50,000+ hours). Adding smart controls—such as dimming schedules, motion sensors, and daylight tracking—can cut another 20–30 % off your lighting load. Most Sharps Chapel customers see a payback period of 2–4 years on residential projects and 1–3 years on commercial retrofits, with ongoing annual savings on both energy and maintenance.
Can you integrate new lighting with my existing home-automation ecosystem?
Yes. We routinely integrate lighting with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings, Control4, and other popular hubs. Our technicians program scenes, schedules, and voice commands so your lighting works seamlessly with thermostats, security cameras, and whole-home audio. If you already have a hub or specific protocol in place, we select fixtures and switches that communicate natively to avoid extra bridges or subscription fees.
Are there rebates or tax incentives available for lighting upgrades in Tennessee?
Absolutely. Residential customers served by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) may qualify for the TVA EnergyRight program, which offers rebates on ENERGY STAR® LED fixtures and smart thermostats. Commercial customers can receive custom incentives based on verified kWh reductions. In addition, federal tax code Section 179D allows certain commercial buildings to deduct lighting retrofit costs. We handle all paperwork, photometric calculations, and utility inspections to maximize your rebate or credit.
What is the typical timeline and process for a whole-home lighting upgrade?
1) Consultation & Audit (1–2 hours): We evaluate existing wiring, fixture locations, and control preferences. 2) Design & Proposal (2–5 days): You receive a detailed layout, photometric renderings, product data sheets, and a fixed-price quote. 3) Installation (1–3 days for most homes): Our licensed electricians remove old fixtures, upgrade any necessary wiring or breakers, and install new luminaires and controls with minimal disruption. 4) Commissioning & Training (1 day): We program scenes, connect apps, and teach you how to use the system. 5) Follow-up (30 days): We return for a complimentary check-up to adjust dim levels, firmware, or schedules based on your feedback.
Do you provide warranties and ongoing support after installation?
Yes. All fixtures and smart switches come with manufacturer warranties—typically 5 years for residential LEDs and up to 10 years for commercial grade. Our labor is guaranteed for 12 months, and we offer optional maintenance plans that include annual system check-ups, firmware updates, and priority service calls. If a component fails within the warranty period, we coordinate the replacement at no cost to you.
