FAQs
What kinds of energy-saving lighting fixtures can you install in Walland homes and businesses?
We handle the full range of modern, high-efficiency options: screw-in and integrated LED fixtures, LED recessed cans, low-voltage under-cabinet strips, smart Wi-Fi or Zigbee bulbs, ENERGY STAR–rated ceiling fans with integrated LEDs, and motion/photocell-controlled outdoor luminaires. If you still prefer fluorescent or HID for specific tasks, we can retrofit those as well, but most customers choose LEDs because of their superior efficiency, light quality, and lifespan.
How much can I expect to save on my electric bill by switching to LEDs?
Savings vary with usage, but most Walland homeowners cut lighting wattage 60–85 %. A 60 W incandescent replaced with a 9 W LED that operates 3 hours per day saves about 56 kWh per year—roughly $6–$8 at local TVA rates. Multiply that by dozens of bulbs and you can see annual savings of $150–$400 in a typical house. Commercial properties with longer operating hours see payback in 12–24 months and ongoing savings of 30–70 % on lighting costs.
Do I need to rewire my house or install special dimmers for energy-efficient fixtures?
In most cases, no. Screw-in LED and CFL lamps are direct replacements for standard E26/E27 bulbs. However, older incandescent dimmer switches may flicker or fail to dim LEDs smoothly. When we quote your project we test existing dimmers and, if needed, install LED-compatible models. For integrated LED fixtures and low-voltage strips, we supply the proper drivers and verify that the existing branch circuit can handle the reduced load without modification.
Can energy-saving fixtures withstand Walland’s humid summers and occasional cold snaps?
Yes. Outdoor-rated LED fixtures are sealed against moisture (IP65 or higher) and use electronics rated for –40 °F to 122 °F. Indoor LEDs actually perform better in cooler winter temperatures than incandescent bulbs. For porches, barns, and garages, we recommend vapor-tight or gasketed fixtures to protect against humidity and dust common in the Smoky Mountains foothills.
Are there rebates or tax incentives in Blount County for upgrading my lighting?
TVA’s EnergyRight program periodically offers residential and small-business rebates for qualifying LED retrofits, and many utility providers give bill credits for ENERGY STAR fixtures. Federal tax law currently allows a commercial building deduction (IRC §179D) for energy-efficient lighting systems that reduce lighting power density at least 25 %. We stay up to date on local and federal incentives and will handle the paperwork so you receive every available dollar.
How long does a typical lighting retrofit take, and will it disrupt my daily routine?
Most residential projects—swapping 20–40 fixtures—are completed in a single day with minimal dust or noise. We protect flooring, move furniture, and clean up afterward. For retail or office spaces, we can work after hours or in phases to keep your business open; 5,000 ft² usually takes two nights. Because LEDs draw less current, panel upgrades are rarely necessary, so power shutdowns are brief and scheduled around your needs.
