FAQs
What types of lighting upgrades do you offer in Harrogate?
We design and install a full range of lighting solutions for homes and businesses across Harrogate and the surrounding villages. Popular options include LED down-lights, feature pendants, kitchen under-cabinet strips, exterior security lights, garden up-lighters, emergency lighting and smart-controlled systems that integrate with Alexa, Google Home or Apple HomeKit. Every project starts with a free site survey so we can understand how you use the space, measure existing light levels and recommend the most suitable fittings, controls and colour temperatures.
Are your electricians qualified and insured?
Absolutely. All of our engineers are City & Guilds–trained, NICEIC Approved Contractors and Part P registered for domestic work. We carry £5 million public liability insurance and £10 million employer’s liability, so you’re protected every step of the way. On completion you’ll receive an Electrical Installation Certificate or Minor Works Certificate plus a Building Control notification where required.
How disruptive is a typical lighting upgrade?
We plan each job to keep disruption to a minimum. Furniture is protected with dust sheets, carpets are covered with runners and any holes required for new cabling are made as small and neat as possible. In most occupied homes we can complete a room-by-room sequence so you still have lighting in other areas. A straightforward LED down-light swap in a kitchen can be finished in one day, while a full rewire of lighting circuits in a three-bed semi usually takes 2–3 days. All waste packaging and old fittings are removed from site and recycled where possible.
Can upgrading to LED really lower my energy bills?
Yes—LED technology typically uses 80-90 % less electricity than traditional incandescent or halogen lamps while delivering the same or better light output. For example, replacing ten 50 W halogen down-lights with 6 W LEDs can save around £170 per year at current energy prices. LEDs also last up to 25,000 hours, so you’ll spend less on replacement bulbs and maintenance. We can calculate a projected pay-back period for your specific property during the quotation process.
How do I obtain a quotation and what will it include?
Simply call us or use the contact form to arrange a free, no-obligation site visit at a time that suits you. After the survey you’ll receive a written, fixed-price quotation that itemises labour, materials, access equipment, waste disposal, certification and VAT—so there are no hidden extras. We also outline the proposed schedule of works and payment milestones. Quotes are valid for 30 days and we’re happy to adjust specifications if your requirements change.
Do I need Building Regulations approval for lighting work?
Most lighting alterations in a dwelling are covered by Part P of the Building Regulations. Because we are NICEIC Approved Contractors we can self-certify our work, submit the notification to Harrogate Borough Council on your behalf and supply you with the compliance certificate. Only in listed buildings or properties within conservation areas might additional permissions be needed—if that applies to you, we’ll guide you through the process before any work starts.
