FAQs
What types of lighting upgrades do you offer in Sharps Chapel?
We provide complete LED conversions, new fixture installations, recessed can lighting, under-cabinet and accent lighting, exterior/security lighting, and smart-lighting controls. Whether the project is residential, commercial, or for a rental cabin on Norris Lake, our licensed electricians handle design, product selection, installation, and disposal of old fixtures.
How can switching to LEDs lower my energy bills?
LED lamps typically use 70–85 % less electricity than incandescent or halogen bulbs and about 40 % less than CFLs. They also generate less heat, reducing HVAC costs in summer. Because LEDs last 25,000–50,000 hours, you save on replacement lamps and maintenance as well. Most customers in Sharps Chapel see payback on material and labor within 12–24 months, depending on usage patterns.
Do I need a permit or inspection for lighting upgrades in Union County?
Minor one-for-one bulb swaps don’t require a permit, but any new wiring, new circuits, or installation of recessed cans and outdoor fixtures must be permitted through the Union County Building & Codes Department. As a licensed electrical contractor, we obtain the permit, schedule inspections, and provide a copy of the final approval for your records at no extra charge.
Can you retrofit my existing fixtures or do I have to replace everything?
In many cases, we can retrofit your current fixtures with LED drivers and lamps, preserving the style of chandeliers, sconces, or vintage ceiling fans. When a fixture is incompatible or unsafe (for example, non-UL-listed outdoor floodlights), we’ll recommend replacement options that match your décor and budget. A free on-site assessment will determine the most cost-effective route.
How long does a typical residential lighting upgrade take?
A standard whole-house LED swap (60–80 lamps) usually takes 3–5 hours. Adding recessed cans to a kitchen or living room adds another half-day, depending on attic accessibility. Commercial projects or lakefront homes with tall vaulted ceilings may span 1–2 days. We schedule work to minimize disruption and always clean up before we leave.
Are there rebates or incentives available for lighting upgrades in Sharps Chapel?
Yes. Through TVA’s EnergyRight program and Powell Valley Electric Cooperative, qualifying homeowners and small businesses can receive rebates on high-efficiency LED fixtures and controls. We complete the paperwork, provide product specs, and submit before-and-after photos so you receive the rebate check or bill credit promptly. Federal tax deductions for commercial energy savings may also apply.
