FAQs
Why should I consider a lighting upgrade for my Georgetown home or business?
Modern lighting upgrades improve the overall aesthetic, provide better color rendering, reduce eye strain, and increase property value. In addition, newer LED and smart-control technologies cut energy use by up to 70 %, lowering utility bills and maintenance costs while helping meet the City of Georgetown’s energy-efficiency goals.
What types of lighting upgrades do you offer for visual appeal?
We handle everything from fixture replacements and recessed lighting installations to architectural accent lighting, cabinet and cove lighting, exterior façade illumination, and complete LED retrofits. Our designers pair fixture styles, color temperatures, and beam spreads with your décor to create layers of light that showcase artwork, textures, and focal points.
Do I need a permit for lighting upgrades in Georgetown?
Most interior fixture swaps do not require a permit; however, new circuitry, recessed can retrofits, or exterior lighting tied into the main service usually do. We handle the permitting process with the City of Georgetown Development Services Department, ensuring all work complies with the 2023 National Electrical Code and local amendments.
How long does a typical lighting upgrade project take?
A straightforward fixture change may be completed in a single visit, while whole-home LED conversions or commercial showroom projects can take 2–5 days, depending on scope, ceiling access, and any drywall repairs. We provide a detailed timeline after the on-site assessment and keep you updated at every milestone.
What is the cost range for lighting upgrades?
Costs vary with fixture quality, quantity, and wiring complexity. Decorative fixture replacements start around $150–$300 per opening (including labor and standard materials). Full LED retrofits with dimming controls average $1,500–$3,500 for a 2,000 sq ft home, while custom commercial accent lighting can exceed $8,000. We supply an itemized quote up front and can recommend energy-rebate programs to offset expenses.
Can you integrate smart controls and dimmers with the new lighting?
Yes. We install Wi-Fi dimmers, motion sensors, daylight-harvesting controls, and whole-house lighting systems compatible with Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. Smart controls maximize energy savings, extend lamp life, and let you fine-tune brightness and scenes to create the perfect ambiance for any occasion.
