FAQs
What types of lighting upgrades do you offer in Englewood?
We handle the full spectrum of residential and light–commercial lighting projects, including LED recessed cans, under-cabinet task lighting, landscape and security lighting, chandelier installation, smart–home dimmers, and complete fixture replacements. Our electricians evaluate your current wiring, recommend luminaires that fit your décor and budget, and ensure everything meets Colorado and NEC code requirements.
How can upgraded lighting improve my home’s energy efficiency?
Replacing outdated incandescent or halogen fixtures with ENERGY STAR-rated LEDs can cut lighting electricity use by up to 75 percent. Modern drivers and dimming systems also reduce wattage when full brightness isn’t needed. In addition, motion sensors, daylight–harvesting controls, and smart timers prevent wasted runtime, leading to lower monthly utility bills and a reduced carbon footprint.
Do I need a permit for lighting upgrades in Englewood?
For simple bulb swaps, no permit is required. However, whenever new wiring, circuits, or junction boxes are added—or existing circuitry is modified—Englewood Building & Safety typically requires an electrical permit and inspection. As licensed electrical contractors, we secure all necessary permits, schedule the city inspections, and provide you with the approval paperwork for your records.
How long does a typical lighting upgrade project take?
Most single-room retrofits (e.g., swapping five recessed fixtures for LEDs) are completed in 2–4 hours. Whole-home LED conversions or multi-zone smart lighting installations generally take one to two days. Larger projects that require panel upgrades or attic rewiring may extend to three or four days. We provide a precise timeline after your in-person assessment so you know exactly what to expect.
Are LED retrofits really worth the investment?
Yes. While LED fixtures cost more up front, they last 25,000–50,000 hours—roughly 10–15 years of average use—compared to 1,000 hours for incandescent bulbs. The energy savings typically pay back the initial cost in 12–24 months, and rebates from Xcel Energy can shorten that period further. LEDs also emit less heat, reducing HVAC load, and contain no hazardous mercury, making disposal safer.
What safety measures do your electricians follow during installation?
Safety is our top priority. Every technician is state-licensed, OSHA-trained, and background-checked. We de-energize circuits at the panel, verify with a non-contact tester, and use insulated tools and ladders rated for electrical work. Work areas are covered with drop cloths to protect flooring, and we perform a final megohmmeter test to confirm insulation integrity before re-energizing the circuit.
