8. Do I need to upgrade my electrical system for lighting installation?

Answer:
In most cases, no. However, if you’re adding a large number of lights, installing high-powered fixtures, or using smart lighting systems, we may need to upgrade your electrical panel to accommodate the extra load. Our team will evaluate your system during the consultation and provide recommendations.

9. How do I know if I need to replace my current lighting fixtures?

Answer:
If your lighting fixtures are outdated, not functioning properly, or no longer suit your style or needs, it may be time for an upgrade. Additionally, if your lights frequently flicker, burn out quickly, or produce insufficient light, we recommend replacing them with more efficient, modern options.
