"Rosemarie and her team did an incredible job transforming our backyard. Previously, we had issues with drainage and our yard was basically a muddy, unusable space. We had previously gotten estimates from other companies and were disappointed with the cookie cutter approach we received. By contrast, Rosemarie came out to visit us, patiently listened to what we were dealing with and what our goals were for the yard, and came up with a vision that exceeded our expectations. Her team executed on that vision at a very high level. They worked efficiently and carefully and were respectful of our property and neighbors. We have been so pleased with the results. The installation just wrapped up a few weeks ago, but we have already used our yard much more frequently. The plants that went in are thriving and the drainage issues that we had previously dealt with have gone away. Throughout the process, Rosemarie and her team provided a high level of transparency, responsiveness and communication. They clearly take pride in their work (and their enthusiasm for native plants is infectious!) and we were consistently impressed by their expertise, resourcefulness and vision. We highly, highly recommend Our Temenos."

"I hired Appex Electric LLC after getting a recommendation from a business partner. They showed up on time, and were very professional. I could tell they were experienced based on the conversation prior to the install. I needed 8 recess lighting fixtures installed in my living room, along with a dimer switch. I was pleasantly satisfied with the work and the price. They charged me $975 and provided all materials needed. I would most likely rehire them for any additional projects I have and would highly recommend."

"The electrician, Chris, advised his arrival time by text on the morning of the visit. He was on time and accompanied by another man. Both men were very pleasant and professional. Did the work quietly, with no drama.The issues were resolved.  I am very pleased and would definitely call him again for future electrical problems.

"I hired this electrician to replace an old florescent ceiling light with an LED light. To start, he quickly responded to my posting for a job quote which I had posted on a Sunday afternoon. His fee was reasonable, especially when compared to a few others. He was very accommodating setting the day and time to suit my schedule. We stayed in touch that day and arrived on time and quickly did the job. He wasted no time, came fully equipped and tidied up after. He was very professional and pleasant. I highly recommend him and intend to use him in the future."

"At first there was only partial outage, the local guy Mike came to take a look. A confirmation email was sent to me and Brian said the assement would cost $59, which was fair enough. Mike found out that the partial outage can only be fixed on PSEG part, and suggested for me to call. Later, my parent realized that we needed a ceiling light installation which I proceed to ask very nicely for Mike to install. Mike did a very good job with the installation and was clever enough to jump the electricity from one leg to the next. However, in the end during the payment, Mike did not give me the final receipt/paper, just straight up told me a fixed price of $190.19. He also did not email me the receipt either in which I was told by Brian he would. Mike even asked for my email himself. I felt extremely vulnerable in the situation in which of course, I’m not an electrician professional, I wouldn’t know the price. But I’d like to see at least some sort of confirmation instead of being left feeling like I just got ripped off. I was nice enough to give him a nice brown bag of iced cold beer, water bottle and homemade cookies."

"He did a good and neat job installing the ceiling lights. 1) We did not like the the fact that he had to borrow a ladder from us because he said his broke that day. 2) Unlike other contractors, he did not wear booties. 3) One of the light switches was installed in reverse. It was easy enough for me to open the panel and fix it. 4) He did not give us the receipt."

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in East Elmhurst, NY

Permit requirements for outdoor lighting vary depending on your location and project scope. Simple fixture replacements don't require permits, but projects involving new electrical circuits, extensive trenching, or significant system expansions often do. Local building departments establish these requirements, and many professional electricians handle permit applications as part of their service package.

The timeline for outdoor lighting installation varies based on project complexity. Basic systems might require only one to two days for complete installation, while extensive lighting networks with numerous fixtures and complex wiring needs could extend to a week or longer. Weather conditions, property accessibility, and soil characteristics can all influence how quickly professionals can complete your installation.

Outdoor lighting offers both practical and aesthetic benefits that many homeowners find valuable. Beyond enhancing nighttime visibility and security, well-designed lighting can highlight architectural features and extend outdoor living hours. While installation represents a significant investment, quality lighting may potentially increase property appeal and could contribute to overall home value.

Some outdoor lighting projects are suitable for homeowner installation, particularly simple solar fixtures or low-voltage systems that plug into existing outlets. However, projects requiring new electrical connections, permanent wiring, or integration with home electrical systems demand professional expertise. Electrical work carries inherent safety risks, and improper installation could create fire hazards or code violations.

The operating cost for outdoor lighting depends primarily on your fixture types, bulb selection, and usage patterns. Energy-efficient LED fixtures consume significantly less electricity than traditional incandescent or halogen alternatives. Controlling your lighting with timers, photocells, or motion sensors can further reduce energy usage by ensuring lights operate only when needed or beneficial.
