Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I save by switching to LED lighting?
LED lighting uses up to 75% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and lasts 25 times longer. For a typical home, switching to all-LED lighting can save $100-$200 per year on electricity. Commercial buildings see even larger savings, often with a payback period of 1-2 years.
Can you install recessed lighting in an existing ceiling?
Yes, we regularly install recessed (can) lights in existing ceilings without major construction. We use remodel-style housings designed for retrofit installation. The process involves cutting precise openings, running new wiring, and installing the fixtures with minimal disruption to your ceiling.
Do you install outdoor and landscape lighting?
Yes, we install all types of exterior lighting including security floodlights, motion-sensor lights, pathway lighting, deck and patio lighting, and landscape accent lighting. All outdoor installations use weather-rated fixtures and proper GFCI protection for safety.
