Frequently Asked Questions About Our Lighting Services
How long does a typical lighting installation take?
Most standard lighting installations can be completed within a few hours. Larger projects or homes with older wiring may require additional time for proper evaluation and upgrades.
Do older Baltimore rowhomes need electrical upgrades before installing new lighting?
In many cases, yes. Older homes may have outdated wiring or panels that were not designed for modern lighting loads. Our electricians assess these factors before recommending installation.

Clearance depends on fixture type, placement, and local code requirements. Recessed and exterior lighting often have specific spacing guidelines that our technicians follow carefully.
