Modern and contemporary styles are becoming more and more popular in homes across the country. However, revamping your entire house can be expensive and stressful. Why not take a simple, inexpensive step toward a modern style with recessed lighting? If you're looking for the perfect blend of form and function, this type of lighting was made for you. Not only does it add light to poorly lit areas, but it also adds a distinct decorative element to any space. The local electricians at Mr. Electric of North Shore and Metairie can help you make your modern design dreams a reality. We serve customers in Metairie, Covington, and Madisonville, LA, helping them with all their electrical needs.
Consider These Factors Before You Install Recessed Lights
Before requesting recessed lighting installation service, be sure to consider a few factors. Recessed lighting is incredibly versatile and doesn't always work for every space. As such, it's a good idea to think through these things before or during a meeting with a professional:
Materials Involved
The type of housing you live in and the condition of the ceiling can make a big difference during installation. We'll need to know the ceiling slope, material, and insulation.
Number of Fixtures
Depending on the size of your space, you may need more lighting fixtures than average. Take square footage, wattage, type of bulb, ceiling height, and natural light into account when you think about the number of fixtures.
Spacing
Spacing is huge when it comes to recessed lighting. These fixtures must be evenly spaced to get a professional, balanced look.
Fixture Ratings
Our licensed electricians are glad to answer any questions you have about selected models and moisture ratings. If you plan to install recessed lighting in the kitchen, bathroom, or basement, you likely need a fixture rated for moisture.
Electrical Load
Safe installation is crucial. Our team will determine the safest way to install new lights without overloading circuits. For some homeowners, new circuitry is part of the cost of installing recessed lighting.
Function and Aesthetic
How do you want the final product to look? The electricians at Mr. Electric of North Shore and Metairie can help you decide on a target aesthetic and help you get the most function for your money. You may want to add dimming features, additional switches, or adjustable fixtures. We'll help you select the perfect recessed lighting from these options:
- Incandescent
- Fluorescent
- Energy Star
- Line voltage
- Low voltage halogen
- Standard halogen
- Fire barrier housings
- Multiple recessed spots
