Why Now Is the Right Time to Upgrade Your Lighting

Outdated fixtures and old wiring cost more than you think. Energy bills climb as older bulbs waste power, and aging electrical systems add safety risk over time. Upgrading to modern lighting cuts your monthly spend and gives your home or business a finish that lasts.

Energy Savings

Modern LED fixtures use up to 75% less power than older bulbs and last 15 to 25 times longer. A single upgrade pays for itself through lower monthly electric bills and fewer replacements over the years.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about lighting installation and service for Northern Ohio homes and businesses.

How long does lighting installation take?
Most single-fixture installs take 1 to 2 hours. Larger projects like whole-room rewires or commercial retrofits can take anywhere from a day to several weeks depending on scope. We'll give you a realistic timeline during your site visit.
Do I need a permit for lighting installation?
Permits depend on the scope of work. Replacing existing fixtures usually doesn't require one. New circuits, panel modifications, outdoor lighting on new poles, and most commercial work do need permits. We pull them for every job that requires it and coordinate the inspection.
Can you install both residential and commercial lighting?
Yes. Our team handles everything from kitchen pendants and recessed lighting in homes to parking lot poles, office LED retrofits, and emergency lighting in commercial buildings.
What's the benefit of upgrading to LED lighting?
LED uses up to 75% less energy than incandescent and lasts 15 to 25 times longer. For homeowners that means lower electric bills and fewer bulb changes. For businesses, the energy savings often pay back the install cost within a few years, and many Ohio utilities offer rebates on LED retrofits.
Do you handle outdoor and landscape lighting?
Yes. We install pathway lights, landscape spots, deck lighting, motion-triggered security floods, and architectural accent lighting. All outdoor work uses weather-rated fixtures and code-compliant wiring for Ohio conditions.
Are there rebates or tax credits for LED lighting upgrades?
Often yes. Several Ohio utilities offer rebates on LED retrofits, and commercial projects may qualify for federal energy-efficiency tax incentives. Programs vary by utility and change often, so we recommend checking with your provider before the install. We're happy to point you to current programs during your quote.
