FAQs
What types of lighting upgrades do you offer in Townsend?
We design and install a wide range of lighting solutions, including interior LED retrofits, exterior security lighting, smart-home–ready fixtures, landscape lighting, high-bay conversions for garages or workshops, and specialty accent lighting. Whether your goal is energy savings, better task illumination, or an aesthetic makeover, we tailor the fixture selection, color temperature, and control strategy to your specific space and preferences.
How much energy can I expect to save by switching to LED lighting?
Most Townsend homeowners and businesses see electricity use for lighting drop 50–80 %. Traditional incandescent bulbs convert only about 10 % of consumed power into light, while LEDs convert roughly 90 %. A 60 W incandescent, for example, can be replaced with a 9 W LED of equal brightness. Over a year, a household upgrading 40 bulbs could save 1,000–1,500 kWh, cutting the lighting portion of the electric bill by $140–$200, depending on local rates.
Do I need a permit for residential lighting upgrades in Townsend?
For a simple lamp or bulb swap, no permit is required. However, if new wiring, circuits, or junction boxes are added—or if fixtures are relocated—Townsend follows Massachusetts Electrical Code (based on NEC 2023), and a permit must be pulled by a licensed electrician. We handle all permitting, inspection scheduling, and documentation so you remain fully code-compliant.
Are there any rebates or incentives available for lighting upgrades?
Yes. Through the Mass Save program, qualifying LED fixtures and controls can receive instant point-of-sale discounts or post-installation rebates covering 30–70 % of material cost. National Grid and Eversource also offer small-business grants that can offset up to 80 % of retrofit expenses. We verify eligibility, complete the paperwork, and apply the rebates directly to your project quote so you enjoy the savings immediately.
What is the typical timeline for a full lighting retrofit?
A single-family home with 30–50 fixtures usually takes 1 day for an assessment and 1–2 days for installation. Small commercial spaces (under 10,000 sq ft) generally require 3–5 working days, depending on ceiling height and operating hours. Lead time for specialty fixtures is around 1–2 weeks. We provide a detailed schedule up front and coordinate around your business or family routines to minimize downtime.
How disruptive will the installation be to my home or business?
We use drop cloths, boot covers, and vacuum-equipped tools to keep dust and debris to a minimum. Power is shut off only to the circuit being worked on, so you’ll still have electricity in other areas. For businesses, we can phase work after hours or on weekends. Most clients are surprised at how little noise and disruption they experience; rooms are typically returned to normal use the same day.
