FAQs
What types of lighting upgrades do you offer in Church Hill?
We handle the full spectrum of residential and light-commercial lighting projects—everything from swapping outdated incandescent fixtures for high-efficiency LEDs to designing and installing recessed can lighting, pendant fixtures, under-cabinet task lighting, landscape and security lighting, and complete panel or circuit upgrades to support high-load lighting systems. We also retrofit historic Church Hill homes with period-appropriate fixtures that meet today’s code and efficiency standards.
How can LED lighting upgrades reduce my energy bills?
LEDs use up to 80 % less electricity than incandescent bulbs and last 10–25 times longer, which means fewer replacements and maintenance costs. For a typical Church Hill household, converting the most frequently used fixtures to LEDs can cut annual lighting costs by $100–$300, and larger properties can save even more. Because LEDs run cooler, your HVAC system also works less in the summer, adding secondary energy savings.
Do I need a permit for residential lighting upgrades in Church Hill?
Most straightforward fixture swaps don’t require a city permit, but any project that involves installing new circuits, adding outlets, moving junction boxes, or upgrading your electrical service panel does. As a Class A licensed contractor, we obtain all necessary City of Richmond permits and schedule inspections on your behalf, ensuring every upgrade complies with the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) and local ordinances.
How long does a typical lighting upgrade project take?
A simple one-for-one fixture replacement can be completed in under an hour, while whole-home LED retrofits generally take 1–2 days. Projects that involve new wiring, controls, or panel work may run 3–5 days, depending on the size of the home and accessibility of existing wiring. Before we start, you’ll receive a detailed timeline so you know exactly what to expect.
Are your electricians licensed and insured in Virginia?
Absolutely. Every technician on our team holds a journeyman or master electrician license issued by the Commonwealth of Virginia. We carry $2 million in general liability coverage and full workers’ compensation insurance, so you and your property are protected from start to finish.
Can you integrate smart lighting controls during an upgrade?
Yes. We install dimmers, motion sensors, daylight harvesters, and whole-home smart lighting systems that you can control via mobile app or voice assistants like Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. We’ll program scenes, automate schedules, and show you how to monitor energy usage so you get the most out of your new system.
