MAIN 200ALighting Installation in Palo Alto, CA
Lighting is the one electrical upgrade you notice every single day. Done well in a Palo Alto home it makes rooms feel larger and finishes look intentional. Done badly it gives you glare, dark corners and dimmers that buzz.

Situations we see in Palo Alto
Ceiling fan wobbles or the box is loose
Standard boxes are not rated for fan loads. We install a fan-rated brace box, which is the actual fix for a wobble.
Kitchen has dark counters
Overhead cans light the floor, not the work surface. Under-cabinet lighting fixes the shadow your body casts when you stand at the counter.
New LEDs flicker or buzz
The dimmer and the driver are mismatched. Swapping to a compatible ELV or forward-phase dimmer usually ends it immediately.
Outdoor lights on all day
A failed photocell or a timer that lost its schedule. Both are quick calls, and worth bundling with any other outdoor work.

Reviews from Santa Clara County
Bought a 1948 house with cloth wiring. They phased the rewire so we always had power in half the house, and gave us paperwork our insurer accepted.
Sofia M.Rewiring · Palo AltoZinsco panel replaced. Straight quote, one day of work, and they handled the utility disconnect scheduling so I didn't have to call anyone.
Yasmin K.Panel replacement · Palo AltoAdded outlets to three bedrooms and a weatherproof one out back. Cuts were small, patches were tidy, and everything got labeled at the panel.
Hugo S.Outlet installation · Palo AltoLighting Installation in Palo Alto — questions
Why do my dimmable LEDs still flicker?
Because the dimmer predates the bulb. Older leading-edge dimmers were built for incandescent loads. We match the dimmer to the driver and the flicker goes away.
Do you install fixtures I bought myself?
Yes, that is very common. Bring your own chandelier, fan or downlights and we will install and wire them.
Can you add recessed lights without tearing up my ceiling?
In most Palo Alto homes, yes. Canless LED fixtures need only a small circular cut, and with attic access above we can wire without opening the ceiling further.
Can you install landscape lighting in Palo Alto?
Yes, including low-voltage transformers, buried runs, path and uplighting, and timer or photocell control.
How much does recessed lighting installation cost in Palo Alto?
Price per light drops as the count goes up, and attic access above the room makes a real difference. A six-light living room with attic access is a straightforward job. Call (833) 652-8933 for a per-room quote.
