FAQs
What types of energy-efficient lighting options do you install in Thorn Hill homes and businesses?
We supply and install a full range of high-efficiency LED solutions, including recessed downlights, under-cabinet strips, high-bay warehouse fixtures, exterior wall packs, and smart Wi-Fi or Zigbee enabled bulbs. All products are Energy Star® or DLC qualified, ensuring optimal lumen output with minimal wattage. We also offer occupancy sensors, daylight-harvesting controls, and dimmers that further reduce energy consumption.
How much can I expect to save on my hydro bill by switching to LED fixtures?
Most Thorn Hill customers see lighting-related electricity costs drop 50–75 %. For example, replacing ten 60 W incandescent bulbs with 10 W LEDs can cut annual consumption by roughly 350 kWh—about $70 at current Ontario rates. In commercial settings, swapping 400 W metal-halide high-bays for 150 W LED equivalents often pays back in 1–2 years through lower hydro bills and reduced maintenance.
Are there rebates or incentives available in Thorn Hill for upgrading to energy-efficient lighting?
Yes. Through the Save on Energy Retrofit program, eligible Ontario residents and businesses can receive instant discounts or post-project rebates for qualified LED lamps, fixtures, and controls. York Region also periodically offers additional incentives for commercial properties. Our team handles all paperwork, product qualification, and before/after verification to make sure you get the maximum rebate available at the time of installation.
Can your electricians retrofit my existing fixtures or do I have to replace them entirely?
In many cases, we can retrofit your current housings with LED retrofit kits or ballast-bypass tubes, preserving the fixture’s appearance while improving efficiency. Where the fixture is outdated, damaged, or incompatible, we recommend a full replacement that meets today’s photometric and safety standards. During a free on-site assessment, we’ll explain both options, show cost comparisons, and let you decide what best fits your budget and décor.
How long does a typical energy-efficient lighting installation take and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A standard residential upgrade (e.g., swapping 20–30 fixtures) is usually completed in one day. Small commercial retrofits often finish over a weekend or after business hours to minimize downtime. We schedule around your operations, isolate power only to the circuits we’re working on, and always leave the area clean. For larger projects, we provide a written timeline so you know exactly what to expect.
Do energy-efficient LED fixtures require special maintenance or bulb replacements?
LEDs are virtually maintenance-free. Rated lifespans range from 25,000 to 100,000 hours—up to 25 times longer than incandescent lamps. That means no regular bulb changes and fewer ladder climbs. We recommend an annual dusting of fixtures and a check of drivers and controls—services we can bundle into a low-cost maintenance plan. If a driver ever fails under warranty, we handle the replacement at no additional labor cost.
