"The RaLo electrician did a great job running new wire to install my outdoor camlight. He also informed me of a number of other issues he noticed and gave me good price to address those issues as well. I definitely recommend their services."
"Ludwing did an amazing job! He installed a new light fixture in my home and what I appreciated the most was that he explained the connection to the wiring and how things work. This was very helpful because he corrected a job from a handyman who installed a light fixture that could have destroyed my home. He is a master of his craft. Not only will I use him for future projects but have also shared his contact with friends needing electronic assistance."
"It went very well. They were very courteous and cleaned up after themselves. They were respectful of my space and of me while working in my home. They did a walk-through before hand to make sure we were on the same page with everything and then did another walk-through at the end to make sure everything was done and correct. This is the first time I've dealt with an electrician and I was very impressed, I will use him again in future if we have any electrical problems."
"A+ Top notch service. Installing 1 attic fan, realized needed another one replaced. They went out, got a 2nd one and installed them both, plus gave advice on our under cabinet lights that always blink. Followed up the next day with a $15 solution to try before we do a repair. Good communication - they answer the phone when you call. Showed up on time and done in under 2 hours which included the time to get the 2nd fan."
"Juan arrived a bit later than expected but got to work and did the jobs, running to Home Depot for needed parts which I didn't know we needed. He explaned things to me and knew what he was doing. He did all the jobs I outlined and left with everything working. He was cooperative in pointing the kitchen track lights where I wanted the to shine. He then looked at the plumbing job (vanity install) and realized that the vanity I bought wasn't a feasible option because of the direction of my pipes (to the side and not the back) therefore needing to go right through the drawers! I have returned the vanity to Home Depot! He didn''t waste time talking to me but did talk to himself (or on his phone ) while he worked! He cleaned up his dust and debris well, Satisfied with his cost which really should have been higher when I thought about it later. I would use him again if he was from near Frederick, but he came from Baltimore! I'd rather use local tradesmen...."
"The electrician did a quality job by relocating the light fixture; however, the actual charge was $195 or 65% more than the estimated price of $300. Owner refused to pay the extra $195 and the realtor had to pay it. Electrician also didn't replace two regular recessed light bulbs and the realtor would have to buy the light bulbs from Home Depot and installed himself."
"The light switch in my bathroom started making a sound and I could smell it burning. I called the company as soon as they opened. I got the owner on the phone and he said he could have someone come out to my house later that day and gave on instructions on handling the light switch until his employee arrived. His employee called prior to visit to let me know he when he would arrive. The employee arrived on time, replaced the old switch and installed in a new switch. They charge by the hour and there was still time left over, so I was able to have him check on some other electrical issues. He gave me his assessment the issues and his recommendation for the products I needed. He also worked with the owner to offer me a discount when I was ready to get those items installed. I will be using their services again soon."
"The speakers were installed nicely. Although they were installed too close to wall and now limiting my options for screen install. The owner is very knowledgeable and I wish he was present on the day of install."
"Great job! They responded quickly to my request, showed up as expected, and completed the job efficiently! I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience!"
Chandelier Installation questions, answered by experts
As you scroll through countless types of recessed lighting, look for features and light quality. Motion sensors can make your home more accessible. Smart-ready fixtures give you control at your fingertips. Light quality can set the mood. The package's label and the online specs for LED lights will display the lumens and Kelvin (K). Lumens tell you the brightness—650 for daylight, one for candlelight. Kelvin tells you the temperature—warm (below 4,000K), neutral, or cool (above 5,000K).
The cost of lamp repair generally ranges from $30 to $150, with an average cost of around $75. Common repairs like rewiring or replacing a switch typically cost around $60 and $80, respectively. The final price depends on factors such as the type of lamp, the complexity of the issue, and the parts required. Keep in mind that repair costs may be higher for ornate or antique lamps. It's a good practice to ask for a price quote from a professional lamp repair service to determine if the investment is worthwhile.
No, it's not hard to install a light fixture. If you have some electrical knowledge and a pre-wired installation location, it's possible to tackle it in an afternoon. Installing new wiring for the light fixture is best left to a professional electrician. Inept wiring can lead to a house fire or electrocution and invalidate your home insurance.
Under-cabinet lighting is generally energy-efficient, especially when using LED technology. Compared to traditional ceiling lighting or older bulb types like halogen and incandescent, LED under-cabinet lights consume significantly less energy, which helps reduce operating costs. This applies to various forms, including strip lights, puck lights, and built-in fixtures. For an option that uses no electricity, consider battery-operated puck lights. While they require periodic battery replacements, they have the added advantage of functioning during a power outage.
The main disadvantage of under-cabinet lighting is the cost. You can expect to pay an average of $265 per fixture, although your exact costs will depend on the scope of your project. And of course, adding new lighting features means you’ll be using more electricity each month. Depending on the installation method and type of bulbs you choose, you may also have to deal with minor inconveniences like visible cords or bulbs that generate heat.
