FAQs
What types of lighting upgrades do you offer for homes and businesses in Signal Mountain?
Our team handles complete LED retrofits, fixture replacements, custom indoor and outdoor lighting design, smart-lighting integrations, security and landscape lighting, and code-compliant emergency/exit lighting. We tailor each project to the property’s size, usage patterns, and aesthetic goals.
How much can I save by switching to energy-efficient LED fixtures?
Most Signal Mountain customers see utility-bill reductions of 50-75 % after replacing incandescent or fluorescent fixtures with LEDs. LEDs consume far less wattage, last 10–25 times longer, and generate less heat, which can also lower HVAC costs. We provide a detailed cost-savings projection during the initial assessment.
Do I need a permit or inspection for a lighting upgrade?
For simple bulb or plug-in fixture replacements, no permit is required. However, any project involving new wiring, circuit alterations, exterior fixtures, or emergency lighting additions must comply with the 2023 NEC and Signal Mountain electrical codes. We secure all necessary permits and schedule the final inspection with the Hamilton County building department on your behalf.
How long does a typical lighting upgrade take?
Small residential retrofits (changing 10–20 fixtures) usually take 1 day. Medium-sized homes and light commercial spaces average 2–3 days, while large commercial buildings may require one to two weeks, depending on ceiling height, accessibility, and operating hours. We create a detailed schedule to minimize downtime and can work after hours if needed.
Can you integrate smart controls such as dimming and occupancy sensors?
Absolutely. We install standalone dimmers, networked lighting control panels, and app-based systems compatible with Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. Occupancy/vacancy sensors, daylight harvesting photocells, and time-clock scheduling can reduce lighting energy use by an additional 20–40 % and enhance user comfort.
Are there local rebates or tax incentives for lighting upgrades in Signal Mountain?
Yes. EPB of Chattanooga and TVA often run rebate programs that pay $0.05–$0.15 per kWh saved, and federal tax deductions under IRS Section 179D may apply to commercial properties. We handle the paperwork, energy calculations, and submission process to help you capture every available incentive and shorten the payback period.
