Energy-Efficiency Upgrades · Chattanooga, TN — Energy-efficiency upgrades that lower your power bill
Energy efficiency is built into the VoltWise name. We help Chattanooga homeowners see where their electricity goes and cut the waste — with practical upgrades that keep saving month after month.
The cheapest kilowatt-hour is the one you never use. Lights that run longer than they need to, thermostats with no schedule, devices that draw power around the clock and aging equipment all add up on your bill.
We start by walking through your home's electrical loads with you and pointing out the biggest opportunities. Then we install the upgrades that make sense for your home and budget — you don't have to do everything at once.

FAQ
Energy-Efficiency Upgrades: common questions
What's the quickest efficiency win?
For most homes it's lighting and controls: converting the most-used fixtures to LED and adding a smart thermostat or occupancy sensors. They're quick to install and start saving right away.
Can you show me what's using power in my house?
Yes. A whole-home energy monitor installed at your panel shows real-time and historical usage on your phone, so you can spot the appliances and habits that drive your bill.
Are efficiency upgrades worth it in an older home?
Often more so — older homes tend to have the most outdated lighting and controls. We'll also point out any safety issues we notice along the way, so the upgrades are built on a sound electrical system.
