FAQs
What advantages do cutting-edge LED lighting upgrades offer over my current lighting in Ten Mile?
Modern LEDs convert up to 90 % of the energy they consume directly into light, whereas incandescent and many fluorescents waste most of it as heat. This translates to energy savings of 50–75 % right away. LEDs also provide higher Color Rendering Index (CRI) for truer colors, instant-on illumination even in Ten Mile’s colder months, and smart-control compatibility for dimming, motion sensing, and scheduling. Because LEDs contain no mercury and last 10–20 times longer than legacy lamps, you will reduce bulb change labor, lower HVAC loads caused by excess heat, and shrink your environmental footprint.
How much money can I expect to save after switching to LEDs?
Savings depend on your current wattage, run-time hours, and utility rates, but Ten Mile customers typically cut lighting costs by 50–75 %. For example, replacing thirty 60 W incandescents that operate 3,000 hours per year with 10 W LEDs reduces annual consumption from 5,400 kWh to 900 kWh. At $0.12 per kWh, that’s $540 saved every year. Commercial properties with longer operating hours often see payback periods of 12–24 months and an internal rate of return (IRR) above 30 %. When local incentives are applied (see below), ROI improves even further.
Are there rebates or tax incentives for LED upgrades in the Ten Mile area?
Yes. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and local cooperative utilities periodically offer prescriptive and custom rebates for qualifying LED fixtures, controls, and retrofits. Typical incentives range from $0.05 to $0.20 per kWh saved in the first year or $4–$10 per fixture, helping offset 10–40 % of project costs. Federal tax code Section 179D may allow commercial building owners to deduct up to $1.88 per square foot when lighting power densities are reduced beyond ASHRAE standards. Our team handles all paperwork, pre-approval site audits, and post-installation verification to ensure you capture every available dollar.
Can my existing fixtures be retrofitted, or must they be replaced entirely?
In most cases, a cost-effective retrofit is possible. We evaluate fixture housing condition, heat dissipation capability, and optical performance. For troffers, downlights, and area lights in good shape, we often install LED tubes or retrofit kits that reuse the housing while delivering new-fixture performance. When fixtures are obsolete, damaged, or incompatible with LED heat profiles, we recommend full replacement to maximize efficiency, warranty coverage, and aesthetics. During your free assessment, we provide a side-by-side cost comparison so you can decide what fits your budget and goals.
How long will the installation take, and will it disrupt my home or business?
A residential upgrade usually finishes in a single day, while small commercial projects average 1–3 days. We stage work in zones, perform most wiring with power isolated to that area only, and coordinate scheduling around your operating hours—nights or weekends are available at no extra charge. Our licensed electricians arrive with all materials pre-labeled, minimizing on-site prep time. We remove and recycle old lamps and ballasts per EPA guidelines, clean the workspace, and perform a final light-level and control-function check before sign-off.
What maintenance do LEDs require, and what kind of warranty is provided?
LEDs are largely maintenance-free because there are no filaments or ballasts to fail prematurely. Simply keep fixtures free of dust buildup to ensure adequate heat dissipation; a light wipe during routine cleaning is usually sufficient. We specify products rated for 50,000–100,000 hours (15–25 years at typical usage) and back them with a 5- to 10-year manufacturer’s warranty covering lumen maintenance, color shift, and driver performance. Our company adds a one-year labor warranty, so if any covered component fails, we supply and install the replacement at no charge.
