FAQs
What kinds of electrical fixtures can your Monterey team install or replace?
Our licensed electricians handle the full spectrum of residential and light-commercial fixtures, including recessed can-lighting, pendant and chandelier installations, under-cabinet LED strips, ceiling fans, outdoor landscape lighting, GFCI receptacles, smart switches, EV-charger receptacles, and bathroom exhaust fan–light combos. We also retrofit older incandescent or fluorescent fixtures with high-efficiency LED housings to meet California’s Title 24 energy requirements.
Are permits and local Monterey codes taken care of?
Yes. Monterey County enforces the California Electrical Code with several coastal amendments. We file all necessary permit applications with the Monterey County Building Services Department, schedule the required inspections, and ensure every installation meets seismic-bracing, salt-air corrosion, and Title 24 lighting controls standards. Homeowners receive all final permit numbers and inspection sign-offs for their records.
How long does a typical fixture installation take?
Most single-fixture replacements (e.g., swapping a ceiling light for an LED flush mount) take 1–2 hours. Installing multiple recessed cans in a finished ceiling averages 4-6 hours, while a full-home lighting upgrade can span one to three days depending on attic/crawl access and panel capacity. We provide a detailed timeline with our quote so you know exactly what to expect.
Do you offer energy-efficient or smart-home lighting options?
Absolutely. We stock Energy Star and DLC-listed LED fixtures, dimmable drivers, and smart switches compatible with Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. For coastal properties, we recommend marine-grade luminaires with corrosion-resistant housings. Our team can design daylight-responsive and occupancy-sensor systems that cut lighting energy use by up to 60 percent—often qualifying for PG&E or Monterey Bay Community Power rebates.
How is pricing determined, and can I get an estimate before scheduling?
All pricing is flat-rate and itemized. After a free on-site or virtual walk-through, we calculate labor hours, fixture costs, any panel or circuit upgrades, permit fees, and haul-away charges. You receive a written quote valid for 30 days; there are no hidden change-orders unless you request additional work. For transparency, we accept e-signatures and provide digital invoices linked to permit numbers.
What warranties and post-installation support do you provide?
We back our workmanship with a 3-year labor warranty. Most fixtures we supply carry manufacturer warranties ranging from 5 to 10 years, and we handle any warranty claims on your behalf. If a fixture flickers, a dimmer buzzes, or a smart switch needs reprogramming within the warranty period, our Monterey office will schedule a complimentary service call—usually within 48 hours.
