FAQs
What kinds of bespoke lighting upgrades do you offer in Andersonville?
We design and install custom solutions ranging from modern LED retrofits and statement pendants to full-scale architectural lighting plans. Whether you’re looking for energy-efficient recessed cans, under-cabinet task lighting, art accent fixtures, or whole-home smart-lighting systems, our licensed electricians tailor every component to your space, décor, and functional needs.
How does the installation process work and how long will it take?
1) Consultation & site survey – We visit your Andersonville property, discuss goals, take measurements, and evaluate the existing wiring. 2) Design & quote – You receive a detailed plan, fixture schedule, and transparent estimate. 3) Scheduling & permits – Once approved, we pull any required local permits and set an installation date that minimizes disruption. 4) Installation – Most single-room upgrades finish in one day; whole-home projects average 2-5 days. 5) Final inspection & walkthrough – We test every circuit, demonstrate controls, and leave the workspace spotless.
Do I need a permit for lighting upgrades in Andersonville, and do you handle it?
For most new circuits, recessed lighting, or load-increasing upgrades, the City of Chicago’s Department of Buildings requires an electrical permit—even in historic Andersonville properties. We handle the entire permitting process, including drawings, fees, and coordination with inspectors, so you stay compliant without the paperwork headache.
Will custom lighting really save me money on energy bills?
Yes. Upgrading from incandescent or halogen to LED can cut lighting energy consumption by 60-80%. When paired with occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting, and dimmable smart controls, average Andersonville homeowners see payback in 12-24 months. We provide an energy-savings projection during your consultation so you know what to expect.
Are your electricians licensed and familiar with local building codes?
Absolutely. Every technician holds an Illinois State Electrical License, carries full insurance, and undergoes ongoing training in Chicago and National Electrical Codes (NEC). Because we regularly work in Andersonville’s older masonry and frame buildings, we understand the neighborhood’s unique wiring quirks and historic-district guidelines.
What should I expect in terms of cost, and what’s included in the quote?
Pricing depends on scope, fixture selection, ceiling height, and accessibility. Typical single-room LED retrofits start around $950, while whole-home smart-lighting packages can range from $4,000–$15,000. Your written quote includes design time, fixtures, labor, permits, disposal of old components, and a 2-year workmanship warranty—no hidden fees.
