"They have been consistently knowledgeable, professional and reliable in all their work. The work quality has been excellent, and they follow through exactly as planned, leaving the worksite very neat. Our beautiful old trees never looked so stately as now, within the glow of their new “nightlights!”"

"Dane did an amazing job. He was extremely friendly, talked through options with us for exterior lighting, gave a fair price that didn’t require haggling and came out to install the lights a couple days later. I highly recommend."

"I am very impressed with Neal of Parker Electric for his communication skill, speaking clearly what the project will be in writing. His employees Wade an Ryan installed lights an fan in my family room. Both these workers have great communication skills. They worked very professionally in installation, starting with moving, covering furnitureâ s without grumble. Ryan let me know every step of the job and worked on it only after my approval. They finished the job to my full satisfaction. What I liked most was how professionally they clean up the debris, they left the house with spik and span, and of course with beautiful lights and fan on my high ceilings. I recommend Parker Elctric for electric work. As for me, I will always come back to Neal for any electric work."

"We received one other bid from a recommended supplier. It was 50% higher than the bid from Power. Power scheduled the time to do the work. They showed up as promised and completed the work without interruption. All parts of the tree were removed from our yard, The lawn and other planting seeds were not damaged.

"The project went wonderfully. Miroslaw responded to my request within a half hour. He came out in 3 days and was prompt, courteous, and respectful. He gave me two quotes for the job--one if he could pull the new 10gauge wire through existing conduit and another if he had to install all new conduit. Unfortunately, the prior electrician abandoned my 220V line and we could not locate the conduit. So, Miroslaw had to run all new conduit down from the roof, 3 1/2 stories to the basement. He finished the project in a day, which was very impressive. The holes he had to cut in my plaster walls look like a surgeon did them; he was meticulous and tailored his cuts to just what he needed, making my plaster repair easier. Miroslaw also identified mistakes the previous electrician made. He explained them and charged me a nominal amount to fix them right then and there. Finally, Miroslaw kept the final price to the lower of the two quotes, even though he could have charged me for the more expensive one. He worked efficiently for 7.5 hours. I gave him coffee and water. I caught him eating his sandwich for lunch while he was working! He's hardworking, honest, friendly, and his work is great. I would recommend him to family and friends without reservation. Way to go Miroslaw!"

"He did an excellent job.  It turned out to be more work than originally estimated to replaced the kitchen light with 2 recessed lights.He was very professional and did outstanding work.  I would hire him in the future for any other electrical needs.

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