FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my home’s lighting system in Benton?
Modern lighting upgrades improve energy efficiency, boost indoor comfort, and increase property value. Newer fixtures and LED bulbs consume up to 80 % less electricity than traditional incandescent or halogen lamps, lowering your utility bills and reducing your carbon footprint. Upgraded lighting also delivers better color rendering and more even illumination, enhancing safety and aesthetics throughout your home.
What energy-efficient lighting options do you install?
We specialize in high-performance LED fixtures—recessed cans, under-cabinet strips, pendants, sconces, and smart bulbs—that offer long life spans of 25,000–50,000 hours. We also install dimmers, occupancy sensors, daylight-harvesting controls, and whole-home smart lighting systems that integrate with platforms like Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit.
Will switching to LED lighting actually save me money?
Yes. An average Benton household that replaces 40 incandescent bulbs with LEDs can save $250–$350 per year on electricity. LEDs generate less heat, so your air-conditioning system runs less in summer, providing additional savings. Because LEDs last many years, you also cut replacement costs and maintenance time.
Do I need a permit or inspection for a residential lighting upgrade in Benton?
For simple bulb replacements, no permit is required. However, if you are adding new circuits, relocating fixtures, or installing recessed cans, the City of Benton’s building department typically requires an electrical permit and final inspection. Our licensed electricians handle all permitting and coordinate inspections to keep your project fully code-compliant.
How long does a typical lighting upgrade take?
A whole-home bulb-to-LED swap can be completed in one day. Projects that involve new fixtures, dimmer installations, or smart-home integration usually take 1–3 days, depending on the home’s size and wiring condition. Complex retrofits that include ceiling modifications or panel upgrades may extend to a week. We provide a detailed timeline after our on-site assessment.
