FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading the lighting in my Birchwood home?
Modern lighting upgrades improve energy efficiency, reduce utility bills, create a warmer ambiance, and increase property value. Switching to LEDs or smart-control fixtures can cut lighting energy use by up to 80 %, while giving you better colour rendering, dimming options, and longer lamp life (25,000–50,000 hours versus 1,000 for incandescent).
What kinds of lighting upgrades do you provide?
We install LED downlights, pendant and feature lighting, under-cabinet strips, smart bulbs and switches, exterior/security lighting, landscape spotlights, and whole-home lighting control systems. Whether you want a simple retrofit or a fully automated scene-setting solution, our qualified electricians can design, supply, and fit the products that suit your style and budget.
Will the work be disruptive and how long does it take?
Most room-by-room LED retrofits are completed in a few hours. Larger projects—including new circuits, smart hubs, or exterior lighting—typically take one to two days. We schedule work around your routine, use dust sheets, and tidy up each day so you can keep living comfortably while we upgrade your lighting.
Are LED upgrades really worth the cost?
Yes. Although LEDs cost more upfront, they consume about 75–80 % less electricity and last 20–25 times longer than incandescent bulbs. For an average Birchwood household, the payback period is 12–18 months, after which the savings are pure gain. You’ll replace bulbs far less often, enjoy consistent light output, and lower your carbon footprint.
Do I need permits or inspections for lighting upgrades?
Simple bulb or fixture replacements usually don’t require permits. However, adding new circuits, relocating fixtures, or installing exterior wiring may need Building Regulations compliance and inspection. We handle all paperwork, liaise with Warrington Borough Council (or your local authority), and ensure every installation is certified to the latest BS 7671 Wiring Regulations.
How much will a lighting upgrade cost and do you offer free estimates?
Prices vary by fixture type, controls, and the number of rooms. A straightforward LED swap starts at about £120 per room, while whole-home smart lighting packages can range from £1,500–£4,000.
