FAQs
What types of modern electrical fixtures do you offer for homes and businesses in Monterey?
We carry a curated selection of recessed lighting, pendant and chandelier fixtures, architectural sconces, track systems, under-cabinet LED strips, and smart-ready switches and dimmers. All fixtures are chosen for their contemporary design, energy efficiency, and compliance with California Title 24 requirements.
Can you integrate new fixtures with my existing smart-home platform?
Yes. Most of our modern fixtures are compatible with popular ecosystems such as Lutron Caséta, Apple HomeKit, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa. During consultation we confirm protocol compatibility (Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, or proprietary) and provide the correct smart drivers or hubs so your lighting scenes, voice control, and automations work seamlessly.
Do I need a permit to replace or add light fixtures in Monterey?
For a straight ‘like-for-like’ replacement, a permit is usually not required. However, adding new circuits, relocating junction boxes, or installing exterior fixtures often triggers a permit and inspection under the City of Monterey building code. Our team handles all permitting paperwork and schedules inspections to ensure full compliance.
How energy-efficient are your LED fixtures compared to traditional lighting?
Our LED fixtures use 70–85 % less electricity than incandescent and about 40 % less than CFLs while delivering equal or better lumen output. They also last 25,000–50,000 hours, reducing maintenance costs and landfill waste. Many come with ENERGY STAR certification and qualify for rebates through PG&E’s rebate programs.
What is the typical installation timeframe and disruption for a residential project?
Most single-room fixture upgrades take 2–4 hours, while whole-home retrofits typically span one to two days depending on attic access and switch-box conditions. We use drop cloths, HEPA-filtered vacuums, and finish work the same day, so disruption is minimal and rooms are left clean and ready for use.
Do your fixtures come with warranties and post-installation support?
Absolutely. Fixtures include manufacturer warranties ranging from 3 to 10 years. Our labor is guaranteed for one year, covering any installation-related issues. We keep your project details on file, so if you need replacement parts, firmware updates, or layout changes, our support team can respond quickly.
