Reliable Lighting Installation & Upgrades
We improve safety, brightness, and energy efficiency with clean, code-compliant lighting solutions for your home or business.
We improve safety, brightness, and energy efficiency with clean, code-compliant lighting solutions for your home or business.
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.
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.
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.
Call Hatchett Electrical Services now for safer, brighter, more efficient lighting installed right the first time.
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 Whether you want to replace outdated fixtures, install recessed lighting, upgrade to LED lighting, or improve outdoor security lighting, we handle the work safely and correctly.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.

"Very professional and reliable I had them do two separate jobs and I was very happy with both. I would use them again and also recommend to others."
"Amazing company! They did solid by me and got me back with power quickly! Highly recommend!"
"Affordable with quality."
"Aaron had provided excellent service at an extremely competitive price. From estimate to completion I never had to wait to receive at least an update and he always communicated with me what the next step was and when it would happen. Extremely happy would recommend to anyone needing electrical work completed."
"Had them wire my shed from the existing extension cord set up to hard wired to my breaker panel....the work was done exceptionally and up to code!!!! Price was very very fair and was done in a couple of hours... I thought it would take longer and cost more.....will be calling them again for any electrical projects"
"Highly recommend! We had them come to install some fixtures at our home and we are very satisfied. Great work at a fair price."
"Aaron Hatchett came to the rescue after THE BIG WINDSTORM had torn the main power line from our house and we could not get help. He said "there is no way I can leave you here in danger with this thing hanging by a thread". He not only knew what to do to repair the problem, but he also knew what he had to do to work with the city inspector and the electric company. He stayed in clear communication, saved us money, and went above and beyond."
"Hatchett Electrical did an outstanding job replacing numerous panel boxes at several apartment/commercial properties we own. They worked through the process with Dominion and the cities public works and utility departments thoroughly and very knowledgeably. Hatchett also worked on other residential projects and did a great job. I highly recommend Hatchett Electrical for any commercial or residential electrical work."
"Hatchett Electrical was GREAT! They were punctual, honest, and did a great job! We had an issue with our bathroom receptacles and Chris had everything back up and running smoothly for us! He checked out our electrical box and discovered a few issues that he corrected for us as well. We were very grateful for his help. We would highly recommend this company and plan to use them again soon for more upcoming electrical projects. A++"
"I highly recommend Hatchett Electrical. I hired them to install permanent pole lighting and an electrical outlet on a pier I had constructed the previous year. The pier had an electrical connection for a boat lift installed by another electrician. Although problems were discovered by Hatchett Electrical, caused by the previous electrician, Aaron and company were able to work through this in a very professional manner. Their price was fair, they were very responsive as we worked through issues. I repeat. I HIGHLY recommend this company for any of your current and future electrical needs. Aaron is the best!"
"On time, On budget, great communication and follow up.. what more could you ask for!!!!"
"What a great bunch of folks!! Aaron worked HARD to ensure my electrical was perfect for my home remodel. He was on the phone negotiating when there were problems with vendors. He was my champion when things didn’t go quite as planned (through no fault of Hatchett Electrical). I met two different crews during their work with us. Both crews were personable, competent professionals, and very helpful when asked to do something new. My project was not a common everyday install, but there was no hesitation to venture into new territory and I believe they were just as excited as I was to ‘figure it out’. Eric and Nate especially were tasked with the majority of the install. From electrical panels to light switches to overhead inserts to countertop lighting, they did EVERYTHING as requested, even when mistakes were made that others may have become frustrated by. It is not often that you can feel 100% confident that your request will be completed with exemplary workmanship. This, however is the case with Hatchett Electrical. Their steadfast determination to provide a professional product was evident at every turn. Without any hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend them. I could not be more pleased with everything that they did for my project. Outstanding, excellent work! They will most definitely be my go to electrical team moving forward!"
"Hatchett electrical provided outstanding service! They were prompt and very thorough."
"Bud did an excellent job hooking up my shed to have constant power so that I no longer need to use extension cords ran from the front door."
"Hatchett is a wonderful company to do business with. Everyone is very nice, yet also very professional. They've done a couple of things for me. I've already recommended them to others."
"Hatchett Electrical has completed multiple projects at our home and we are incredibly satisfied every time with the quality of work and professionalism! Everything is explained well and they truly take pride in their work! Strongly recommend!"
"Always ready to help and easy to work with!"
"Issue: a simple 120V light switch in kitchen that controls garbage disposal stopped working, and the wire was still HOT! As a homeowner, I bought new light switch thinking that was issue, change out, still no power. I called Aaron at Hatchett to make an appointment. He was gracious and professional to a point where he quickly trouble-shot the problem, suggested hitting the reset button on the disposal; which correctly the issue. He could have driven out, made the $120 plus cost for any materials, but he was more concern about resolving an issue. That is customer service and a business that is all about you the homeowner!! Bravo Zulu!!"
"I recently called Hatchett Electrical, last minute on a Monday, and was immediately set-up with an appointment for that same afternoon! The electrician was already finished with his jobs for the day but took the call to come to my house that afternoon around 3pm. He was right on time, walked me through the initial troubleshooting, and was very straight forward and honest the whole time during the appointment. He found and fixed our issue with some bad connections outside on our patio in less than an hour! I was highly impressed with the customer service of this company and will definitely use them again."
