FAQs
What types of electrical fixtures do you offer for homes and businesses in Old Fort?
We carry a full range of residential and commercial fixtures, including recessed and track lighting, chandeliers, ceiling fans, sconces, vanity lights, under-cabinet strips, outdoor security lights, and specialized task lighting. All products are rated for the 120-volt systems common in Old Fort, UL-listed for safety, and available in multiple finishes to fit rustic, modern, or traditional interiors.
Are your fixtures compliant with local electrical codes in Old Fort and McDowell County?
Yes. Every fixture we sell meets the current National Electrical Code (NEC) adopted by North Carolina and any additional amendments enforced by McDowell County inspectors. Our licensed electricians obtain the required permits, use code-approved boxes and connectors, and schedule inspections when the job scope calls for it, ensuring your installation passes on the first attempt.
Can I choose energy-efficient or smart-home–ready fixtures?
Absolutely. We stock ENERGY STAR–rated LED fixtures that reduce power consumption up to 75% compared with traditional incandescent lighting. Many models include integrated dimming drivers, motion sensors, and Zigbee/Z-Wave or Wi-Fi modules so they can be controlled with popular smart-home hubs such as Google Home, Alexa, and SmartThings.
How long will fixture installation take, and will my power be shut off?
A single-point replacement (e.g., swapping a flush-mount ceiling light) usually takes 30–60 minutes. More complex projects—like adding recessed cans or installing a chandelier on a high, vaulted ceiling—can take two to four hours. Power is only shut off at the circuit breaker feeding the specific location, so other areas of your home remain energized.
Do you help with fixture selection and interior design coordination?
Yes. Our showroom staff and on-site consultants review your room measurements, ceiling heights, and décor preferences to recommend fixtures that provide proper lumen output and scale. We can also create layered lighting plans that combine ambient, task, and accent lighting to enhance both style and functionality.
What warranties and maintenance services do you provide after installation?
Most fixtures come with a manufacturer warranty ranging from one to five years, which we service locally. Our labor is warranted for one year, covering any workmanship defects. We also offer optional annual maintenance plans that include cleaning glass shades, tightening fasteners, checking dimmer compatibility, and replacing any failed lamps or drivers at discounted rates.
