"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."

"I have owned this home for 31 years. I have never come across someone who provided excellent service like Uriel. I was extremely surprise with the quick response. The electrician was patient, professional, and flexible with my schedule. Listened to my request and did exactly what I wanted and needed done. Great price. Definitely will keep his number for further jobs. Thank you very satisfied and happy customer. My tenant was also very happy."

"We hired Our Temenos to transform a restaurant for our Caribbean themed business anniversary celebration. Working with Rose and the team was phenomenal. From sharing images all the way from Costa Rica as inspiration, to loading in on time - they nailed it. Weâ d refer them again and again due to all the compliments of how their designs transformed the space."

"Chris was very knowledgeable and professional. He installed 3 motion detectors, one of which was high up and replaced a broken circuit breaker. In addition he went up on my roof and banged in protruding nails that were holding up my gutters and reattached flashing that flew off during the last storm, all without any additional charge. I highly recommend Chris for any electrical work.

"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."

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in Forest Hills, 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.
