Do I need to upgrade my electrical panel for new lighting?

Many Burr Ridge homes need panel upgrades when adding significant lighting, especially LED systems or smart lighting that requires dedicated circuits. We assess your current panel capacity during our initial evaluation to determine if upgrades are necessary.Older panels may not have enough available circuits for new lighting zones. Adding recessed lighting, under-cabinet LEDs, or outdoor security lighting often requires additional circuits to avoid overloading existing ones and creating safety hazards.Panel upgrades ensure your new lighting installation operates safely and reliably. While it adds to the initial cost, it prevents future electrical problems and supports other electrical upgrades you might want later, like EV chargers or additional outlets throughout your home.

What's the difference between LED and traditional lighting installation?

LED lighting installation requires different considerations than traditional incandescent or fluorescent lighting. LEDs need compatible dimmer switches, proper heat management, and sometimes different wiring configurations to perform optimally.LED fixtures generate less heat but require quality drivers and proper electrical connections to last their full lifespan. Cheap LED installations often fail prematurely because corners were cut on components or installation quality – that’s why professional installation matters.Smart LED systems need network connectivity and proper integration with home automation systems. We ensure your LED lighting installation includes quality components and proper wiring so your lights perform reliably for 15-20 years, not just months.

How long does lighting installation take to complete?

Simple fixture replacement takes 1-2 hours per fixture. Recessed lighting installation takes 3-4 hours per fixture when cutting new holes and running wire. Complete room lighting upgrades typically take a full day, depending on the complexity.Smart lighting system installation takes longer because we configure network connections and test all automation features. Outdoor lighting installation projects depend on the number of fixtures and whether trenching is needed for underground wiring.We schedule installations to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Most residential lighting installation projects are completed in one day, though larger installations might require two days. We always clean up completely and test everything before considering the job finished.
