Lighting Installation

Cost depends on the number and type of fixtures, whether new wiring or circuits are needed, and how accessible the installation area is. A recessed lighting job in an open ceiling runs differently than a chandelier install that needs a new switch leg or box reinforcement. We look at the specifics on-site before giving you a number.

New circuits or added electrical load for lighting generally need to meet local electrical code, and some jobs require a permit depending on the scope of the work. Swapping an existing fixture on the same circuit is usually straightforward, but adding outdoor circuits or new switch wiring is the kind of work that should go through a licensed electrician who can confirm what your local jurisdiction requires.

It depends on the scope of work. Adding fixtures to existing circuits usually doesn't require a permit, but running new circuits, adding boxes in new locations, or upgrading your panel to support additional lighting load often does under local code. We can tell you what your specific job requires once we see the layout.

Swapping a fixture on an existing switch is a reasonable DIY task if you're comfortable with basic wiring and have the power off. Anything involving new circuits, recessed lighting in finished ceilings, outdoor wiring, or smart fixtures tied into your home network is worth having a licensed electrician handle, since mistakes there can mean fire risk or a failed inspection.

We're based in Duncan, SC and install lighting throughout the Greenville-Spartanburg metro, including Greer, Spartanburg, Greenville, Simpsonville, Taylors, and nearby communities.

If a fixture flickers, buzzes, or has a failing switch but the wiring and housing are sound, a repair often solves it. Replacement makes more sense when a fixture is outdated, damaged, drawing more power than it should, or you're changing the style or light output in a room. We'll take a look and tell you honestly which makes sense for your situation.
