FAQs
What do you mean by a “tailored lighting upgrade” for Thorn Hill properties?
A tailored lighting upgrade means we design and install a lighting solution that fits the exact needs of your home or business in Thorn Hill. We start with an on-site assessment, measure current light levels, energy consumption, and fixture condition, then propose LED retrofits, new controls (such as dimmers or occupancy sensors), and layout adjustments that match your décor, usage patterns, and budget. The result is better illumination, lower energy costs, and a solution that complies with local electrical codes.
How much can I save on electricity by switching to modern LED lighting?
LED fixtures typically use 60–80 % less electricity than incandescent or halogen lamps and about 30–50 % less than older fluorescent tubes. In a typical Thorn Hill detached home, that can translate to $150–$300 in annual savings, while a small commercial space could save $1,000 or more depending on operating hours. LEDs also last 10–25 years, so you save on replacement and maintenance costs as well.
Are rebates or incentives available in Thorn Hill for lighting upgrades, and do you help with the paperwork?
Yes. The Save on Energy program administered by the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) offers rebates for qualifying LED products and lighting controls throughout Ontario, including Thorn Hill. Commercial customers can claim incentives per fixture, while homeowners can access certain instant discounts through retail partners. Our team will identify eligible products, complete the pre-approval application, and submit the final paperwork so you receive your rebate without hassle.
How long does a typical lighting upgrade project take from start to finish?
For an average single-family home, most upgrades are completed in one day once materials arrive. A larger custom residence may take two to three days. Small commercial offices or retail stores usually require one night or a weekend to minimise downtime, while warehouses or multi-floor buildings can extend to a week. We provide a precise schedule after the initial assessment and coordinate around your business hours when needed.
Will the installation disrupt my household or business operations?
We aim to keep interruptions to a minimum. For homeowners, we work room by room, isolate circuits, use drop cloths, and clean up before we leave. For businesses, we can schedule work after hours or in phases so only small sections are offline at a time. All power shutdowns are planned and communicated in advance, and temporary lighting can be installed if critical areas must stay illuminated.
Are your electricians licensed and familiar with Thorn Hill building codes?
Absolutely. All technicians are ESA-licensed (Electrical Safety Authority of Ontario) and carry full liability and WSIB coverage. We obtain any required electrical permits, follow the Ontario Electrical Code, and coordinate inspections with ESA for Thorn Hill projects. Our local experience ensures your upgrade is safe, code-compliant, and future-proof.
