Frequently Asked Questions — Lighting & Outlets

How much does outlet installation cost in Houston?

Outlet installation in Houston typically ranges from $100 to $350 per outlet depending on the type (standard, GFCI, 240V) and the amount of wiring required. Contact us for a free estimate based on your specific needs.

Can you install recessed lighting in an existing ceiling?

Yes. We regularly install recessed LED lighting in existing ceilings throughout Houston homes. We minimize drywall work and route wiring cleanly through attic access where possible.

Do GFCI outlets need to be installed by a licensed electrician?

While homeowners can replace existing outlets in Texas, GFCI installation in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas is often tied to permit work and must meet Houston electrical code. A licensed electrician ensures the installation passes inspection.

Can you install smart lighting in my existing Houston home?

Yes. We install smart switches, dimmers, and smart outlets that are compatible with major platforms including Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit — without requiring a full rewiring of your home.
