"The work was performed promptly and accurately. The systems were installed in 2008 and I use them every year for maintenance as well as opening and closing the sprinkler system. All of their employees have been knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I would heartily recommend them."

"We've hired David Roesner a few times to come to our home to do electrical work, and he's been excellent every time! The biggest job was having him install a 240V subpanel so my wife could have an electric pottery kiln in our garage. He did a fantastic job, on time, and even under the estimated budget! David has also installed outlets and re-wired some of our home. He's our "go to" for electrical needs. Highly recommended!"

"We began a project for exterior landscape lighting, but as we got to know Randy, Mike, and Green Light Design Group, we were so impressed with their capabilities, we substantially expanded our project from exterior lighting, into landscape design, adding gorgeous new plantings, install hardscape replacement, and other substantial improvements. This project was beyond successful. Added true value to our home. Top-notch customer-oriented people! A 5-Star rating is not enough!!!"

"An outstanding contractor. APS did a great job with my project. They handled all the permits and hoop-jumping nonsense with the village, began the project on time as promised and delivered a great backyard oasis and front yard transformation. They did everything from patio, to landscaping to lighting and of course, the beautiful pool, which they also provided after installation assistance with the care and upkeep. Great bunch to work with and I highly recommend them"

"Wojtek came to our home and gave us an estimate for some electrical work we needed performed. He was friendly and professional. However, we went with another electrical company for the work. Only reason for using the other company was a personal reference from a friend."

"It's not how you start a project with a contractor but how you finish it. We had problems (as it is with any project) communication wasn't always there, it was a mess for awhile (expect a mess)...but in the end the mess was cleaned up and we are very happy with our new patio and how it was completed."

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in Island Lake, IL

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.
