What types of lighting can you install or upgrade?

We install and upgrade most residential and light commercial lighting, including recessed lights, pendant lights, chandeliers, dimmer switches, under-cabinet lighting, bathroom vanity lights, outdoor lighting, security lights, garage lighting, and LED fixture replacements. If you already have a light picked out, we can install it. If you need help choosing the right fixture, brightness, or placement, we can guide you based on your space and goals.

Do I need a licensed electrician for lighting installation?

In most cases, yes. Lighting work is more than just swapping a fixture. It can involve wiring, switches, circuit load, ceiling box support, and code compliance. Hiring a licensed electrical contractor helps protect your home, your safety, and your investment. At Hatchett Electrical Services, Inc., we make sure the work is done correctly, safely, and up to current electrical standards.

How much does lighting installation or an upgrade cost?

The cost depends on the type of fixture, the number of lights, the height of the ceiling, whether new wiring is needed, and how complex the job is. Replacing an existing fixture is usually simpler than adding brand-new recessed lighting or moving a light location. We provide clear pricing and honest recommendations so you know what to expect before work begins. Contact Hatchett Electrical Services, Inc. to schedule an estimate.

Can you replace old lights with modern LED fixtures or add dimmers?

Yes. Upgrading older lighting to newer LED fixtures and dimmer controls is one of the most common services we provide. This can improve brightness, reduce maintenance, and give you better control over the feel of the room. We can also check compatibility between fixtures, bulbs, switches, and dimmers so your new lighting works the way it should without flickering or other issues.

How long does a lighting installation take?

Many basic light fixture replacements can be completed in one visit. Larger jobs, like recessed lighting installs, multi-room upgrades, outdoor lighting projects, or troubleshooting existing wiring, may take longer. We show up prepared, work efficiently, and keep you informed throughout the job so there are no surprises.

Will you clean up after the job and protect my home during installation?

Absolutely. We treat your home with respect. We work carefully, protect the area as needed, and clean up when the job is done. Our goal is to leave you with great-looking lighting, safe electrical work, and a smooth experience from start to finish. If you are ready to upgrade your lighting, contact Hatchett Electrical Services, Inc. today to book your service.

Lighting Installation & Upgrades | Hatchett Electrical

At Hatchett Electrical Services, Inc., we help homeowners and property managers improve the look, safety, and performance of their spaces with professional lighting installation and lighting upgrades. Good lighting does more than brighten a room. It makes your home more comfortable, improves visibility, lowers energy use, and adds value to your property. Whether you want to replace outdated fixtures, install recessed lighting, upgrade to LED lighting, or improve outdoor security lighting, we handle the work safely and correctly.

We install and upgrade many types of lighting systems for homes and light commercial spaces. This includes ceiling lights, chandeliers, pendant lights, wall sconces, vanity lights, under-cabinet lighting, recessed can lights, track lighting, garage lighting, shop lighting, landscape lighting, patio lighting, porch lights, flood lights, motion sensor lights, and security lighting. If you are remodeling a room, updating an older home, or finishing a new space, we can help you choose lighting that fits the layout, purpose, and style of the area.

One of the most common requests we get is LED lighting upgrades. Older incandescent and fluorescent fixtures use more electricity and often need more maintenance. LED lighting lasts longer, runs cooler, and can provide better light quality with lower energy costs. We can replace old fixtures with modern LED options or retrofit certain existing fixtures when appropriate. We also help customers choose the right color temperature, brightness level, beam spread, and fixture placement so the lighting works well for everyday use.

Our lighting installation service starts with understanding what you want the space to do. A kitchen needs bright, even task lighting. A living room may need layered lighting with dimmers for flexibility. Bathrooms need clear lighting around mirrors. Outdoor areas often need a mix of decorative and security lighting. We look at the room size, ceiling height, switching, wiring access, existing electrical load, and the condition of current fixtures. This helps us recommend practical options that improve both function and appearance.

Safety is a big part of every lighting project. Installing a new light fixture is not just about mounting it to the ceiling. The wiring has to be properly sized and connected, electrical boxes must be rated and securely supported, and switches and dimmers need to match the type of fixture being installed. In older homes, lighting upgrades may also uncover issues like worn wiring, ungrounded circuits, loose connections, or overloaded boxes. We address these problems the right way so your new lighting system is safe and dependable.

We also install lighting controls that make your system easier to use and more efficient. This can include standard switches, 3-way switches, dimmers, timers, occupancy sensors, motion sensors, photocells, and smart lighting controls. These features can improve convenience, help reduce wasted energy, and give you better control over different rooms and outdoor areas. If you want a room to feel more flexible or want exterior lights to work automatically, we can set up a control solution that fits your needs.

For indoor lighting upgrades, we often help customers with kitchen lighting, bathroom lighting, living room lighting, bedroom lighting, basement lighting, home office lighting, and garage lighting. We can add recessed lighting to reduce shadows, install pendant lights over islands and dining areas, upgrade vanity lights for better mirror visibility, and improve hallway or stair lighting for safer movement through the home. For outdoor lighting, we install entry lighting, walkway lights, driveway lighting, deck and patio lighting, yard lighting, and security lighting to improve safety, curb appeal, and nighttime visibility.

If your current lighting flickers, hums, trips breakers, feels too dim, or leaves dark spots in key areas, it may be time for a professional evaluation. These problems can be caused by aging fixtures, poor connections, incompatible dimmers, overloaded circuits, or outdated wiring. We troubleshoot lighting issues and recommend repairs or upgrades based on the condition of the system and your goals. Our job is to give you lighting that works reliably and looks right for the space.

When we perform lighting upgrades, we focus on clean workmanship and long-term performance. We make sure fixtures are mounted securely, wiring connections are properly made, and switches and controls operate as they should. We also pay attention to placement and balance, because even a high-quality fixture will not perform well if it is installed in the wrong location. Our experience helps us avoid common problems like uneven lighting, glare, poor task visibility, or fixtures that overwhelm the room.

There are many reasons customers invest in lighting installation and upgrades. Some want to modernize an older home. Some want lower electric bills with energy-efficient lighting. Others want better security outside, better task lighting indoors, or an updated look before selling a property. In many cases, the right lighting makes a space feel larger, cleaner, and more welcoming. It can highlight design features, improve daily routines, and make your property more functional at all hours.

At Hatchett Electrical Services, Inc., we take pride in doing lighting work the right way. We bring hands-on experience, attention to detail, and a strong focus on electrical safety to every job. We are here to answer your questions, explain your options clearly, and help you make smart decisions for your home or building. If you are planning a remodel, replacing outdated fixtures, or ready to upgrade to modern lighting, contact us today to schedule service. We would be glad to help you create a safer, brighter, and more efficient space.

We make lighting projects simple, safe, and tailored to your space. From the first call to the final walkthrough, we focus on clear communication, clean workmanship, and lighting that looks great and performs the way you need it to.

In-Home Lighting Assessment

We start with a prompt call and on-site visit to review your current fixtures, switch locations, circuit capacity, and lighting goals. Then we recommend the right LED upgrades, fixture styles, placement, and controls, with a clear estimate and realistic timeline for your project.

Custom Planning & Scheduling

Once you approve the estimate, we plan the installation around your schedule and order the fixtures, recessed lights, dimmers, or under-cabinet lighting your job requires. We confirm code requirements, map out wiring needs, and prepare for a smooth install with minimal disruption to your home or business.

Safe Installation & Final Walkthrough

Our licensed electricians complete the lighting installation or upgrade with careful wiring, secure mounting, proper grounding, and full function testing. Before we leave, we check light output, dimming performance, and switch operation, clean the work area, and walk you through the finished results so you feel confident from day one.
