Lighting Services

Great lighting design and proper installation enhance your home's aesthetics, functionality, and energy efficiency. We install all types of lighting systems:

Recessed & Can Lights

Also called downlights, recessed lights provide clean, modern ambiance. We design layouts for optimal coverage, install fixture boxes in ceilings, and wire to switches. IC-rated fixtures work safely in insulated ceilings.

Under-Cabinet Lighting

Brighten your kitchen countertops with under-cabinet LED strips or puck lights. These functional lights improve visibility and add ambiance. We hide wiring neatly for a polished look and install dedicated circuits if preferred.

Landscape & Outdoor Lighting

Highlight trees, pathways, and architectural features with professional landscape lighting. We install low-voltage systems for safety and energy efficiency, incorporating timers and motion sensors where desired.

Smart Lighting Systems

Control lights from your phone, voice commands, or automated schedules with smart bulbs and switches. We install smart dimmer switches and networked fixtures, integrating with your existing smart home setup.

Pendant & Chandelier Installation

Install new pendant lights over islands or dining areas, or replace existing chandeliers. We handle heavy fixtures safely, ensuring proper support and wiring for both aesthetics and safety.

Track Lighting

Flexible, adjustable track lighting systems allow you to direct light where needed. Perfect for highlighting artwork, accent walls, or retail displays. We install tracks and position fixtures precisely.

Ceiling Fan Installation

Ceiling fans improve air circulation, enhance comfort, and can reduce heating and cooling costs. We specialize in all ceiling fan installations:

New Ceiling Fan Installation

Adding a ceiling fan to a room without one requires new wiring and a support box installed in the ceiling. We route electrical wire, install the proper mounting bracket, connect the fan motor and light kit (if applicable), and test everything thoroughly.

Ceiling Fan Replacement

Replacing an existing fan is straightforward. We disconnect the old unit, remove its mounting hardware, and install the new fan using the existing electrical connection. If upgrading wiring or adding light fixtures, we handle those modifications seamlessly.

Fan & Light Combination Units

Many ceiling fans include integrated light fixtures or remote-controlled lighting. We install these systems completely, including wiring for both the fan and lights, ensuring proper support for the combined weight.

Fan Control Options

We can wire fans with simple on-off switches, three-speed pull chains, wall-mounted controllers, or smart WiFi remotes. We'll discuss control preferences and install exactly what you want.

Our Installation Process

1. Design Consultation - We discuss your lighting goals, preferences, and budget. We offer recommendations based on room size, ceiling height, and existing décor.

2. Layout Planning - We plan fixture locations for optimal coverage and aesthetics. For recessed lighting, we determine spacing to avoid shadows and provide balanced illumination.

3. Code Compliance Assessment - We verify that all installations meet electrical code, including proper wire sizing, grounding, and support requirements.

4. Wiring & Rough-In - We run electrical wire from switches or panels to fixture locations. For new construction, we do this during framing. For existing homes, we use existing walls or surface-mounted raceway as needed.

5. Fixture Installation - We install mounting boxes, support brackets, and hardware. We secure heavy fixtures (chandeliers, fans) to structural supports rated for their weight.

6. Connection & Testing - We connect fixtures to wiring, install bulbs, and test all switches and controls. We verify proper operation and brightness levels.

7. Final Walkthrough - We demonstrate operation, discuss maintenance tips, and answer questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many recessed lights do I need for my room?
This depends on room size, ceiling height, and desired brightness. A general rule: one recessed light per 4-6 square feet for ambient lighting. A 200 sq ft living room might need 4-8 lights depending on layout. We'll assess your space and recommend an optimal layout.
Can you install a ceiling fan on an existing light fixture?
Only if the existing box is rated for fan weight (typically 35+ lbs). Most light fixtures use boxes rated for lights only (15 lbs max). We'll inspect your ceiling and replace the box if needed to safely support a fan. This is a code and safety requirement.
Do LED lights cost more to install?
Installation costs are the same regardless of bulb type. LED fixtures cost slightly more upfront but save money long-term through lower energy use and longer lifespan. Most customers choose LEDs for the efficiency and longevity benefits.
Can ceiling fans be used with dimmer switches?
Fan motors should not be on dimmers—this damages the motor. However, integrated light kits can be dimmed with a specialized fan dimmer switch. We'll install the appropriate control for your setup.
How much does lighting installation cost?
Costs vary based on number of fixtures, complexity, and whether existing wiring is available. Basic recessed light installation: $150-$250 per fixture. Ceiling fans: $300-$600 depending on complexity. Call for a free estimate: (425) 766-4793.
