FAQs
What types of lighting upgrades do you offer for homes and businesses in Newmarket?
We provide a full spectrum of lighting upgrade services, including LED retrofits, recessed down-lighting, architectural strip lighting, pendant and accent fixtures, outdoor/security lighting, and complete smart-lighting control systems. Whether you’re renovating a single room or seeking a whole-building overhaul, our electricians design and install solutions that match modern aesthetics, exceed Ontario electrical code requirements, and maximize energy efficiency.
How will a modern lighting upgrade improve my energy efficiency and operating costs?
Switching from incandescent, halogen, or older fluorescent fixtures to high-efficiency LEDs can reduce lighting energy consumption by 50–80%. LEDs convert more electricity into light instead of heat, last 10–25 times longer, and qualify for local Save on Energy rebates, lowering your upfront costs. Smart dimmers, motion sensors, and daylight-harvesting controls further cut waste by ensuring lights operate only when needed. Most clients see payback periods of 1–3 years through reduced hydro bills and maintenance savings.
Do I need to rewire my home or office to install LED or smart lighting?
In most cases, no full rewiring is required. LED retrofit lamps and fixtures are designed to work with existing line-voltage wiring. Our licensed electricians evaluate your current circuits, replace outdated ballasts or transformers if necessary, and install compatible dimming or smart-control modules. Only severely undersized or deteriorated wiring may need replacement, and we’ll inform you beforehand and provide a fixed quote.
What is the typical cost of a lighting upgrade in Newmarket and what return on investment can I expect?
Costs vary with fixture style, control sophistication, and project size, but residential LED conversions usually range from $800–$3,500, while small commercial spaces run $2–$8 per square foot. With energy savings of 50–80% and maintenance savings from longer lamp life, most homeowners recover costs within 24–36 months, and commercial clients often achieve ROI in 12–24 months, especially when leveraging provincial incentives.
Can you integrate new smart lighting with my existing home-automation or building-management system?
Absolutely. We install Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Z-Wave, and PoE-based fixtures and controls that speak seamlessly with popular platforms such as Lutron Caséta, Philips Hue, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, and BACnet/KNX building-management systems. During our consultation we map your current infrastructure, recommend compatible dimmers, hubs, and sensors, and program scenes so you can control brightness, colour temperature, and schedules from a single interface or voice command.
How long does a typical lighting upgrade project take, and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A standard whole-home LED retrofit with new dimmers can be completed in one day for a bungalow and two to three days for larger two-storey homes. Small commercial upgrades are often finished after hours or over a weekend to avoid downtime. We use drop cloths, dust control, and staged circuit shutdowns to keep disruption minimal, and every job concludes with a thorough cleanup and ESA Certificate of Inspection for your records.
