FAQs
What types of modern electrical fixtures do you install in Decatur homes and businesses?
Our licensed electricians handle the full spectrum of contemporary fixtures, including recessed LED downlights, architectural track systems, statement pendant and chandelier lighting, low-profile ceiling fans, under-cabinet tape lighting, exterior sconces, smart switches/dimmers, and integrated USB or wireless-charging outlets. Whether you’re renovating a historic Decatur bungalow or outfitting a new commercial loft, we can recommend and install fixtures that match the space’s aesthetics, lumen requirements, and energy-efficiency goals.
How do I know if my existing wiring can handle new modern lighting fixtures or smart devices?
Before any installation we perform a comprehensive load-calculation and wiring assessment. Modern LED fixtures usually draw less current, but smart controls and multi-zone lighting can add complexity. We inspect panel capacity, breaker sizing, grounding, and neutral availability, then use thermal imaging to detect hidden hot spots. If upgrades are needed—such as adding a dedicated circuit, AFCI/GFCI protection, or a neutral conductor for smart switches—we outline options and pricing up front so your new fixtures operate safely and reliably.
Are LED fixtures really more cost-effective than traditional bulbs, and what savings should I expect?
Yes. Quality LED fixtures consume 75–85 % less electricity than incandescent and last 25–30 times longer. In Decatur, where the average residential kWh cost is about 14 ¢, replacing ten 60-watt incandescents with 9-watt LEDs saves roughly $90 per year in energy alone. Commercial clients often recoup retrofit costs within 18-24 months thanks to longer operating hours and reduced maintenance. Many LED fixtures also qualify for Georgia Power rebates, lowering the initial investment even further.
Do your installations comply with Decatur city codes and the National Electrical Code (NEC)?
Absolutely. All work is performed by state-licensed electricians who follow the latest NEC (currently the 2023 edition) as well as Decatur’s local amendments—such as required AFCI protection in dwelling areas and dark-sky guidelines for exterior lighting. We obtain permits when required, coordinate inspections with the city, and provide documentation for your records, ensuring your project passes code the first time and protects your property’s resale value.
How long does a typical modern fixture installation take and will it disrupt my daily routine?
Most single-fixture replacements—like swapping a standard ceiling light for a smart LED flush mount—take about 60–90 minutes. Multi-room renovations or full lighting redesigns can range from half a day to two days, depending on access to wiring and ceiling type. We schedule in convenient blocks, lay down protective floor covers, and clean up thoroughly so you can resume normal activities the same day. For commercial spaces, we offer after-hours installation to avoid downtime.
What warranties or maintenance support do you offer after installing new electrical fixtures?
Labor is warrantied for two years, meaning if any connection we made fails, we’ll fix it at no charge. Most fixtures we supply carry manufacturer warranties of 5–10 years for LEDs and drivers. We register products on your behalf, keep digital copies of receipts, and offer optional annual inspections to check firmware updates on smart devices, verify dimmer compatibility, and clean lenses or trim. This proactive care maximizes fixture lifespan and maintains manufacturer coverage.
