Lighting Installation Process Mokena

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we look at what you have and what you want. We check your existing wiring, measure your spaces, and talk through your lighting goals so nothing gets missed.

Then we map out the installation plan. Where new fixtures go, what wiring needs to be updated, and how to get everything connected safely to your electrical panel.

The actual installation happens systematically. We turn off power to the work areas, install new wiring or update existing circuits as needed, mount your fixtures securely, and test everything before we flip the power back on. You get a walkthrough of the completed work and know exactly how to operate your new lighting system.

How much does professional lighting installation cost in Mokena?

Lighting installation costs depend on the complexity of the work and what fixtures you choose. Simple fixture swaps on existing wiring typically run $150-300 per fixture for labor. New wiring for additional lights costs more because we’re running new circuits from your electrical panel. Expect $300-600 per new light location depending on wire runs and accessibility. The investment makes sense when you consider that professional installation prevents electrical problems, ensures your work meets code, and often includes warranties on both labor and fixtures. DIY lighting mistakes can cost thousands to fix and create serious safety hazards.
Mokena requires electrical permits for new wiring and circuits, but simple fixture replacements on existing wiring typically don’t need permits. The distinction matters because unpermitted electrical work can cause problems when you sell your home. We handle permit applications when they’re required and make sure all work meets Will County electrical codes. The permit process usually adds 1-2 days to project timelines but ensures everything is documented properly. Most homeowners insurance policies also require permitted electrical work for claims coverage. It’s worth doing things correctly from the start rather than dealing with complications later.
Simple fixture replacements take 1-2 hours per light when we’re working with existing wiring. Whole-room lighting projects typically take a full day depending on how many fixtures you’re installing. New wiring extends the timeline because we need to run circuits from your electrical panel to each light location. Plan on 1-2 days for projects that involve significant new wiring work. We schedule installations to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Most lighting work can be completed without shutting off power to your entire home, so you’re not left in the dark while we work.
LED fixtures often require different wiring considerations than traditional incandescent lights. Some LED systems need special dimmer switches, and others require specific electrical connections to operate properly. The upfront cost of LED lighting is higher, but the energy savings are substantial. LED bulbs use 75% less electricity than incandescent bulbs and last 25 times longer, which means lower utility bills and fewer bulb replacements. We help you choose LED options that work with your existing electrical setup or recommend wiring updates when they’re needed. The goal is getting you lighting that performs well and saves money over time.
Yes, we install all types of outdoor lighting including landscape lights, security lighting, and decorative fixtures. Outdoor electrical work requires weatherproof connections and proper grounding to prevent electrical hazards. Mokena’s climate means outdoor fixtures need to handle temperature swings from below zero in winter to 90+ degrees in summer. We use fixtures and wiring rated for these conditions so your outdoor lighting keeps working year-round. Low-voltage landscape lighting systems are popular because they’re energy-efficient and safer to install. We can design lighting that highlights your landscaping while providing security and safety lighting for walkways and entrances.
Flickering in new lighting installations usually indicates a wiring problem, incompatible dimmer switches, or electrical panel issues. This isn’t something to ignore because flickering can signal dangerous electrical conditions. The most common causes are loose wire connections, overloaded circuits, or LED lights paired with incompatible dimmer switches. These problems need professional diagnosis because they can create fire hazards if left unfixed. We warranty our installation work, so if flickering develops after we complete your lighting project, we’ll return to identify and fix the problem. Proper electrical connections shouldn’t cause flickering when the work is done correctly.
