FAQs
What types of electrical fixtures do you install in Old Fort homes and businesses?
Modern Innovation Electrical installs a full spectrum of fixtures, including recessed and track lighting, ceiling fans, chandeliers, vanity and under-cabinet lights, outdoor security and landscape lighting, EV-charger receptacles, smart switches, and energy-efficient LED retrofits. Whether you need a single fixture replaced or a complete lighting redesign, our licensed electricians can handle projects of any scale.
Do you provide smart-home or automated lighting solutions?
Yes. We specialize in integrating smart switches, dimmers, motion sensors, and Wi-Fi or Zigbee/Z-Wave–enabled fixtures that can be controlled by mobile apps, voice assistants (Alexa, Google, Siri), or centralized automation hubs. We set up the hardware, configure the software, and train you on scheduling, scene setting, and energy-usage monitoring so you get the full benefit of a modern smart-lighting system.
How long does a typical fixture installation or replacement take?
For a straightforward replacement of an existing fixture, most appointments take 30–60 minutes. New fixture installations that require additional wiring or new circuit runs average 1–3 hours per location. Large-scale projects—whole-home LED upgrades, panel additions, or commercial build-outs—can span a full day or multiple days. We provide a time estimate during the initial walkthrough and keep you updated if conditions behind walls or above ceilings extend the schedule.
Is your work compliant with local electrical codes and inspections in Old Fort?
Absolutely. All installations follow the National Electrical Code (NEC) as adopted by North Carolina and any amendments specific to McDowell County. We pull the necessary permits when required and coordinate with local inspectors to ensure your fixtures meet safety and efficiency standards. Code compliance protects your property value and helps avoid issues with insurance claims or future real-estate transactions.
What are the cost factors for installing new electrical fixtures?
Pricing depends on several variables: (1) type of fixture—simple pendant lights cost less than intricate chandeliers or multi-zone LED strips; (2) existing wiring—using current wiring is cheaper than running new circuits; (3) ceiling height and accessibility—vaulted or hard-to-reach areas involve extra labor or specialized lifts; (4) control systems—adding dimmers, smart switches, or occupancy sensors raises material costs; and (5) permitting fees. We provide a detailed, itemized quote before any work begins, so there are no surprises.
Do you offer warranties or maintenance plans for installed fixtures?
Yes. All labor is covered by a two-year workmanship warranty, and most fixtures come with manufacturer warranties ranging from one to five years. If a product fails within the covered period, we handle the removal, replacement, and paperwork at no extra charge. For commercial clients or homeowners with extensive smart-lighting setups, we also offer annual maintenance plans that include fixture cleaning, firmware updates, and proactive safety inspections to keep your system operating at peak efficiency.
