How do you handle lighting installation in historic Boerum Hill brownstones?
Historic brownstones require special expertise because of their age and construction methods. Many buildings from the 1840s-1870s have outdated electrical systems that can’t safely handle modern lighting loads without upgrades.
We start by evaluating the existing electrical panel and wiring to determine capacity. Often, panel upgrades or circuit additions are necessary to support new lighting systems safely. We work within the building’s original structure while ensuring all work meets current electrical codes.
Fixture placement considers the architectural details that make these buildings special. Crown molding, high ceilings, and original woodwork all influence the lighting design. The goal is enhancing the historic character while providing modern functionality and safety.
What's included in a complete lighting system design and installation?
A complete lighting system starts with an electrical assessment and lighting design consultation. This includes evaluating your current electrical capacity, identifying areas that need better illumination, and creating a plan that balances ambient, task, and accent lighting.
The installation covers all electrical work including running new circuits, installing switches and dimmers, mounting fixtures, and connecting smart controls if desired. All work includes proper permits and inspections to ensure code compliance.
You’ll receive instruction on operating your new system, warranty information, and ongoing support. The service includes clean-up and a final walkthrough to ensure everything works perfectly. Smart system integration and programming are handled completely so your lighting is ready to use immediately.
How much can LED lighting systems reduce my electricity costs?
LED lighting typically reduces electricity consumption by 75-80% compared to traditional incandescent bulbs and 50% compared to compact fluorescent lights. For an average Boerum Hill home, this can mean savings of $200-400 annually on lighting costs alone.
LEDs also last 15-25 times longer than incandescent bulbs, reducing replacement costs and maintenance. Smart controls add additional savings by automatically adjusting brightness and turning lights off when rooms aren’t in use.
The exact savings depend on your current lighting setup and usage patterns. During the consultation, we can provide specific estimates based on your home’s lighting needs and current electrical consumption. Most homeowners see the investment pay for itself within 2-3 years through energy savings alone.
Do you install smart lighting systems that work with voice assistants?
Yes, smart lighting installation includes integration with popular voice assistants like Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri through Apple HomeKit. You can control individual lights, groups of fixtures, or entire rooms using voice commands.
The systems also work through smartphone apps that let you adjust brightness, change color temperature, set schedules, and create lighting scenes for different activities. Geofencing features can automatically turn lights on when you arrive home and off when you leave.
Smart switches and dimmers are installed to work with your existing fixtures, or new smart fixtures can be installed as part of a complete system upgrade. Everything is programmed and tested during installation so you can start using voice control immediately. We provide instruction on all features and ongoing support for any questions.
What permits and inspections are required for lighting installation work?
Most lighting installation projects in Brooklyn require electrical permits, especially when adding new circuits, upgrading panels, or doing extensive rewiring. The permit process ensures all work meets current electrical codes and safety standards.
Electrified handles all permit applications and scheduling of required inspections. This includes rough electrical inspection before closing up walls and final inspection after installation is complete. All work is designed to pass inspection the first time.
Working without proper permits can create safety hazards and legal issues when selling your property. Insurance claims may also be denied if electrical work wasn’t properly permitted and inspected. Professional contractors always pull permits because it protects both the homeowner and ensures the work is done safely and correctly.
How long does a typical lighting system installation take to complete?
Timeline depends on the project scope, but most residential lighting installations take 1-3 days to complete. Simple fixture replacements or small additions can often be finished in a single day.
Larger projects involving new circuits, panel upgrades, or whole-house lighting design may take 3-5 days. Smart system integration adds time for programming and testing all automation features.
We provide a detailed timeline during the consultation phase so you know exactly what to expect. We coordinate with inspection schedules and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Most homeowners are surprised how quickly professional installation transforms their lighting while maintaining the highest quality standards.
