How do I know if I need an electrical panel upgrade?
There are several signs that your electrical panel may need an upgrade: your circuit breakers trip frequently, you notice flickering or dimming lights, your panel is over 25 years old, you are adding new appliances or a home addition, or your home still has a fuse box instead of a breaker panel. If you notice any of these warning signs, we recommend scheduling an inspection as soon as possible. An outdated panel is a serious safety risk and can also be a fire hazard.
Do you handle both residential and commercial electrical work?
Yes, we do both. Lighting Services LLC is fully equipped to handle electrical projects of all sizes — from small residential repairs and home renovations to large commercial installations and tenant improvement projects. Our team is trained and certified for both residential and commercial work, and we have the tools and experience to meet the specific code requirements of each type of project.
Do I need a permit for electrical work?
It depends on the scope of the work. Minor repairs such as replacing an outlet or switch typically do not require a permit. However, larger projects such as panel upgrades, new circuit installations, home additions, and EV charger installations usually do require a permit from your local building department. At Lighting Services LLC, we handle the permitting process for you — we know exactly what is required in your area and will take care of all the paperwork so you do not have to worry about it.
Do you install EV chargers at home?
Yes, EV charger installation is one of our most popular services. We install Level 2 home EV chargers for all major electric vehicle brands including Tesla, Ford, Chevrolet, BMW, and more. Our certified electricians will assess your home’s electrical capacity, install the dedicated circuit required, and mount the charger in your garage or exterior wall. We will also handle any necessary permits and ensure the installation is safe, code-compliant, and ready to use.
