Lighting Contractor – what to look for when you need an electrician

Choosing a residential lighting contractor
Here are some of the services you should look for in a residential lighting contractor in Fort Mill:

• Residential lighting design and assistance with design. This means the lighting contractor will look at your home and decide what sort of lighting would be most attractive and useful.
• Bringing your lighting up to code. Don’t know all the details of your local building code? Your lighting contractor should.
• Installing outdoor lighting and some controls for it. Want to be able to turn the light on over your driveway before you step outside? A lighting contractor should be able to make it happen.
• Security lighting. Nothing encourages a prowler to make a quick retreat like having the lights come on outside as soon as he or she steps onto your property.
• Insurance claims. If your lighting system is damaged, your insurance provider is going to want expert opinion on the damage and the cause of it.
• Inspections and testing.
• LED lighting design services. LED lights are versatile, powerful and energy-efficient. Experts can help you use them to best advantage.

What to look for in an residential lighting contractor
A residential lighting contractor absolutely has to be licensed to work in your state, and should carry liability and workman’s compensation insurance as well. You can check the website of your state’s professional license board. When considering an electrician, look at his or her website and make sure lighting services are an area this particular contractor concentrates on. A residential contractor should be able to build their work schedule around your own needs and convenience, and then stick to that schedule.

When looking at lighting contractors, try to find one with a good reputation and a lot of positive customer testimonials. Ask friends and neighbors in the Fort Mill area if there’s a contractor they’d recommend. If you see a home where you’re particularly impressed with the quality of the lighting work, try to find out who did it. Other things being equal, a contractor who’s been in business for decades is almost certainly one you can trust. Don’t be afraid to ask a contractor for references. Try to get more than one bid on any given project.
