Our Recessed Lighting Installation Services

From layout design to final connection, we handle every aspect of your recessed lighting project with expert care.

Recessed Light Installation

Full installation of recessed can or LED wafer lights in new or existing ceilings. Our licensed electricians handle all wiring, placement, and connections to deliver a clean, polished result.

Light Fixture Replacement

Upgrade outdated fixtures to sleek recessed lighting. We safely remove existing lights and install modern recessed units that improve both ambiance and energy efficiency in any room.

Circuit & Wiring Work

When new recessed lights require dedicated circuits or additional wiring, our team runs code-compliant circuits from your panel — no shortcuts, no splices, built to last and pass inspection.

Dimmer Switch Integration

Enhance your recessed lighting with compatible dimmer switches for full ambiance control. We install code-compliant dimmers matched to your specific light fixtures for smooth, reliable performance.

Electrical Safety Evaluation

Every recessed lighting project begins with a complimentary safety evaluation using a Digital Voltage Analyzer to detect overloaded circuits and ensure your panel can safely support new lighting loads.

Panel Capacity Assessment

Adding multiple recessed lights can strain an older panel. We assess your existing panel capacity and recommend upgrades if needed — especially important for Des Moines homes built 30 or more years ago.
