Roseville, Rocklin, Folsom and Elk Grove went for permanent holiday lighting.Lighting and fan questionsHow much does recessed lighting cost?

Accepted Answer

Depends on light count, ceiling and attic access. Open attic above, lower price. We quote each room after a walk-through.

Question 2

Can you install a ceiling fan where there is only a light?

Accepted Answer

Usually yes. The box must be fan-rated, so we replace or brace it as needed.

Question 3

Do I need a permit for new lighting?

Accepted Answer

Usually not for a fixture swap. New circuits, recessed runs and outdoor circuits often do.

Question 4

Are whole-house fans worth it in the Sacramento area?

Accepted Answer

For many homes, yes. Evenings usually cool off, and the fan can flush the heat on far less power than AC.
