FAQs
What types of lighting upgrades do you offer in Hixson?
We handle the full spectrum of residential and light-commercial lighting improvements. Popular requests include converting existing fixtures to energy-efficient LEDs, adding recessed can lights, installing decorative pendants and chandeliers, under-cabinet and task lighting, exterior security and landscape lighting, and fully automated smart-lighting systems. Every project is customized to your space, décor, and budget, so you get the right balance of ambience, functionality, and efficiency.
How do I know if it’s time to upgrade my current lighting?
Common signs include high electric bills, frequent bulb replacements, flickering or dimming fixtures, inadequate task lighting, or outdated styles that clash with your décor. If your fixtures are over 10–15 years old, they likely lack modern safety features and efficiency standards. During our free on-site assessment we measure light levels, inspect wiring, and review your energy use to determine whether an upgrade will improve performance and reduce costs.
Will switching to LED lighting really save me money?
Yes. Quality LED lamps use up to 80 % less electricity than incandescent or halogen bulbs and last 15–25 times longer. In a typical Hixson household, replacing 20 standard 60-watt bulbs with 9-watt LEDs saves roughly $200 a year in energy costs alone. Longer life spans also cut maintenance and replacement expenses. We calculate your projected payback period during the proposal phase so you can see the exact savings before committing.
Do I need a permit or inspection for lighting upgrades in Hixson?
Minor one-for-one fixture swaps usually do not require a permit, but new circuit runs, recessed lighting additions, or any work inside walls or ceilings generally must follow Hamilton County building codes and may need an inspection. As a licensed and insured electrical contractor, we handle all permitting, scheduling of inspections, and code compliance for you to ensure your project is completed safely and legally.
How long does a typical residential lighting upgrade take?
Most single-room upgrades (e.g., kitchen recessed lights or a living-room chandelier replacement) can be completed in a single visit lasting 2–4 hours. Whole-home LED conversions or multi-zone smart-lighting installations typically span 1–2 days. We provide a detailed timeline with our estimate, coordinate around your schedule, and protect your furnishings with drop cloths and shoe covers to minimize disruption.
Can you integrate smart-home controls with my new lighting?
Absolutely. We install a variety of smart-lighting platforms—including Lutron Caséta, Leviton Decora Smart, and Wi-Fi or Zigbee bulbs—that let you control lights with a smartphone, voice assistant, or scheduled automation. We’ll evaluate your existing Wi-Fi coverage, recommend compatible dimmers and hubs, perform the wiring, and walk you through app setup so you can enjoy features like remote control, scene presets, and energy-use tracking right away.
