How much does professional lighting installation cost in Westchester?

Lighting installation costs depend on the complexity of the job and what fixtures you choose. Simple fixture replacements typically run $150-300 per fixture, while new installations requiring electrical work range from $300-800 per location.The biggest cost factors are whether new circuits are needed and how accessible the installation area is. Outdoor lighting and installations in finished basements or high ceilings require more work.We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. No surprises, no hidden fees, no “we found additional problems” after we’ve already started.
Most basic fixture replacements don’t require permits, but new lighting circuits and outdoor installations typically do. Westchester requires permits for any new electrical work that adds circuits or changes your electrical load.We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. This ensures your work meets local codes and protects your home insurance coverage.Skipping permits might save money upfront, but it creates problems when you sell your home or file an insurance claim. Better to do it right the first time.
Yes, LED conversions are one of our most common services. Most existing fixtures can accommodate LED bulbs, but some older fixtures work better with complete LED fixture replacements.LED lighting reduces energy costs by 75-80% compared to incandescent bulbs and lasts 15-25 times longer. For most Westchester homeowners, the energy savings pay for the installation within 2-3 years.We recommend LED fixtures over LED bulbs in older fixtures because you get better light quality and longer lifespan. The upfront cost difference is usually minimal when you factor in long-term reliability.
Simple fixture replacements take 1-2 hours per fixture. New installations requiring electrical work typically take 3-6 hours per location, depending on accessibility and whether new circuits are needed.Outdoor lighting projects often take a full day because we need to run wiring through walls or underground. Kitchen lighting upgrades can take 4-8 hours if we’re adding under-cabinet lighting or recessed fixtures.We work efficiently but we don’t rush electrical work. Your safety and getting the job done right matter more than finishing quickly.
Residential lighting focuses on comfort, energy efficiency, and aesthetics for daily living.
