FAQs
What kinds of electrical fixtures do you design and install in the Philadelphia area?
We handle the full spectrum of residential and lightâcommercial fixtures, including recessed and track lighting, designer chandeliers, smart ceiling fans, under-cabinet LEDs, outdoor security lighting, EV-charger outlets, and custom-fabricated decorative pieces. Every product we specify is UL- or ETL-listed and compatible with the 120/240-V systems common in Philadelphia properties.
How is your âinnovative designâ approach different from a typical electrical contractorâs?
Our team blends licensed electricians with lighting designers and BIM/3-D modelers. Before any wiring is run, we create a photometric layout to show real-world light levels, energy use, and fixture aesthetics. Clients can preview finishes and beam spreads in virtual-reality walkthroughs, allowing tweaks before installation. This prevents costly change orders and ensures the final look aligns with your architectural vision.
Do your projects meet Philadelphiaâs electrical and building codes?
Yes. We follow the current Philadelphia Electrical Codeâan amended version of the 2017 NECâas well as Title 4 of the Philadelphia Code for building permits. Our master electrician secures all required permits, schedules inspections with L&I, and coordinates any PECO service upgrades. You receive a Certificate of Approval upon completion, which is essential for resale and insurance purposes.
Can you incorporate energy-efficient and smart-home technologies?
Absolutely. We offer high-efficiency LED fixtures (80+ CRI, 50,000-hour rated life), daylight-harvesting sensors, and ENERGY STAR-certified dimmers. For smart homes, we integrate Lutron CasĂŠta, Leviton Decora Smart, or Philips Hue systems that can be voice-controlled via Alexa, Google, or Apple HomeKit. Many of these upgrades qualify for PECO rebates, and we handle the paperwork for you.
What is the typical timeline and workflow for a fixture designâbuild project?
1) Discovery (1â2 days): Site visit, load calculations, style preferences. 2) Concept & photometric design (3â5 business days). 3) Permit submission and material procurement (1â3 weeks, depending on L&I). 4) Rough-in wiring (1â4 days, project size dependent). 5) Fixture installation & commissioning (1â3 days). 6) Final inspection and client walkthrough. Most single-family projects finish in 3â6 weeks from contract signing.
Do you offer warranties and post-installation support?
Yes. All labor is covered by a 2-year workmanship warranty, and fixtures carry the manufacturerâs warrantyâtypically 5 years for LEDs and 1 year for mechanical components like fans. We provide a complimentary 90-day check-up to recalibrate dimmers, tighten terminations, and answer usage questions. Optional annual maintenance plans include infrared panel scans to detect loose connections and discounted service rates.
