With so many styles to choose from, you are sure to find the right lighting to fit into your family's style and budget. Consider highlighting key areas such as flower beds, landscaping focal points, trees, bushes, or use colored lights along a blank area of wall. This extra landscaping actually adds to the value of the home.
Contacting an electrical professional to install new residential lighting is very important. They will be able to spot potential fire or shock hazards, while ensuring the home's current electrical system can handle the added burden. Having a licensed electrician install new fixtures may even be required by insurers, loan holders, or the building inspector. Other benefits to hiring a professional include:
Experience - Professionals have years of experience within their field. This ensures the jobs are done in a safe manor, up to code, and with minimal damage to the surrounding building.
Knowledge - With years of experience comes a plethora of knowledge on the best fixture locations, lighting types, and installation methods.
