FAQs
What types of lighting upgrade services do you provide in Tracy City?
We handle turnkey lighting retrofits for homes, offices, retail stores, warehouses and outdoor areas throughout Tracy City. Our team audits your existing fixtures, designs an energy-efficient replacement plan using LED, smart controls, occupancy sensors and daylight-harvesting technology, then handles permitting, installation and final commissioning. We can upgrade recessed cans, troffers, high-bay fixtures, parking-lot poles, landscape lighting and emergency egress lights.
How much energy and money can I save by switching to LED lighting?
Modern LED lamps use 60–80 % less electricity than incandescent or metal-halide bulbs and about 40 % less than most T8 fluorescents. For a typical Tracy City household using 1,000 kWh per month, upgrading the most-used fixtures can cut the lighting portion of the bill by $20–$40 monthly. Commercial clients often see 30–50 % overall kWh reduction, translating to thousands of dollars a year and a 1–3-year simple payback.
Are rebates or incentives available for lighting upgrades in Tracy City?
Yes. Customers served by Sequachee Valley Electric Cooperative can apply for TVA EnergyRight lighting rebates that pay $0.05–$0.10 per kWh saved during the first year, often covering 15–25 % of project cost. Tennessee’s Small Business Energy Loan Program offers low-interest financing up to $500,000, and federal tax deductions under IRS §179D or bonus depreciation can write off a large portion of qualifying commercial retrofits. We handle all paperwork and rebate submittals at no extra charge.
Will the upgrade process disrupt my home or business operations?
We schedule work around your hours—nights, weekends or room-by-room—to keep downtime minimal. A typical three-bedroom house is completed in one day, while a 10,000 ft² office takes two to three evenings. Our licensed electricians use lift equipment with minimal noise and dispose of old lamps per EPA guidelines, so you will not have to close your doors or move heavy furniture.
Do the new fixtures comply with local codes and dark-sky requirements?
Absolutely. Every product we install is UL-listed and meets the 2023 National Electrical Code, the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) adopted by Grundy County and the Tennessee Dark Sky Outdoor Lighting Ordinance where applicable. We use luminaires with full cutoff optics and programmable brightness to eliminate light trespass and skyglow, ensuring your project passes inspection the first time.
What warranties and ongoing support do you provide?
Most LED fixtures carry a 5- to 10-year manufacturer warranty covering driver, diode and housing failures. We supplement that with a two-year labor warranty—if a covered component fails, we replace it at no cost for parts or labor. Additionally, our monitoring service can track energy consumption and send maintenance alerts, helping preserve your investment long after installation.
