"Mike checked some outlets for me and installed a new attic fan for a reasonable price. He was on time, extremely pleasant and professional. He patiently answered questions and volunteered pertinent information. I highly recommend Supreme Electric and will be using them for any future electrical work I need to have done."

"Ken and his helper were amazing. Ken came out to recommend and quote light fixtures in our unfinished basement, connect a couple of Ring floodlights, and replace the doorbell transformer and install a new Ring doorbell at my residence. Ken's work is clean, fast, and reasonably priced! I would absolutely hire him again!"

"I recently hired LVR Electric to upgrade the whole electrical system on an apartment remodel and he did a tremendous job. Logan at LVR completed the job professionally, on time, and most importantly, within budget. From great communication and transparency, to quality craftsmanship, LVR Exceeded all of my expectations. I have already hired LVR for an upcoming project, and would recommend them to anyone!"

"Old slider had to be removed as it was defective. Oliver Beer removed the old doors and installed the new door. He added new insulation and replaced the paneling around the door. Work went smoothly. The new door is a dream to close and locks securely. Wonderful job was done. My husband and I are very happy with Oliver's work."

"Jeremy was very enthusiastic about this project.  He had great ideas about lighting design, advice for AV setup, and ways to keep costs down without sacrificing overall quality.  He was able to offer creative suggestions, listen to concerns, and adapt his ideas to fit those concerns.  The original plan did not include rewiring the basement.  He pointed out a number of safety issues.  Even though it added significantly to the cost, he brought the basement up to code, and we are glad we did it.  Everything works better and it is safe.  The lighting work ended up being significantly cheaper because he believed we did not need nearly as many lights as we originally planned.  As I look at our completed project, he was right.  The lighting is perfect.  We also had a request to put the center channel speaker in an unusual location.  He voiced his concern, but agreed to do what we wanted.  Again, he was right.  It sounded terrible.  He moved the speaker to right spot (which required some rewiring) with no fuss.  It sounds fantastic.  I would highly recommend Sound Electric."

"I had originally purchased a coupon for installing the recessed lights.  After the installer(Mike) arrived he informed me that the placement of the lights would require extra work due to a closet in the attic that interfered with one of the lights.  As well there wre holes to be drilled through the joists to pull the wiring.  Although I was not anticiipating anythng extra I agreed to it.  We also agreed that outlets previously tied to the new dimer switch  needed to be independent of the new switch.  Because the existing wiring was not properly identified it took Mike a while to figure it out but he stuck with it and everything turned out great.  His willingness to see the job through to the end(and even come back if neccessary)  was appreciated.
My only comment  would be that in the coupon a disclaimer pertaining to possible extra costs be inserted.  I don't recall seeing that but do not have the coupon to truly know right now.

FAQs for outdoor lighting plan and installation projects in West Hartford, CT

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.
