"Kenny was great in being available and responsive to our changing schedule and getting us worked in for an inspection and repairs and Neil was fantastic and thorough in his initial electrical inspection of our home and getting everything fixed for us a week after the inspection. Great to talk to and took care moving around our home and keeping everything tidy and clean. Can’t recommend Great Lights enough if you need electrical work done."

"The work was done very well. In the living room there were no overhead lights. Five recessed lights were installed. The work was done carefully and on time with great cleanup. No dust, no fuss. The basement work was done when we were away. We came back to find an amazing installation at a very reasonable cost. The panel was relocated and a new meter installed outside of the house. It exceeded expectations, with no return visits required."

"Great quality work. They did a good job cleaning up. Everything looks really good. I'll have them back for more work. My only comment was that communication about times when they would be there or not was a little lacking. I would have liked to received a voice-mail saying that they were coming on a certain day or that they weren't coming as planned. It didn't cause any issues, but I would have liked more updates."

"John and his crew did an outstanding job. They were neat and clean and picked. Up everyday. They installed the deck just the way we wanted. We would highly recommend them for any work needed to be done. Mike and John were fantastic."

"I was very impressed with the service. I am a photography student so I work with a lot of heavy weight programs and very large files. I also do a ton of research along with my school work. After one year of using my brand new laptop for school, I had NO space left on my computer, it was crashing constantly, files were corrupting, and of course, everything was taking forever to load. I called HelloTech for help. They were very understanding of my need for a very complete and fast repair. They were very prompt, diagnosed the issues with my computer, then gave me options on how it could be repaired and modified to accommodate my needs, along with price quotes for each option. Very professional, we worked out a plan that fixed every issue that I had. I am more than happy with my "new" laptop and I would most definitely hire them again!"

"Kevin and Brad were fantastic in keeping me posted as to when they would be able to start the project due to the pandemic crisis. They started when they said they could and their crew was a pleasure to be around as they were very knowledgeable. The project is now complete and I am so pleased as it up and beyond my own expectations. I most definitely would recommend them to anyone considering new landscaping. Awesome job by an awesome crew!!"

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in Rochester, 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.
