Safe Reliable Lighting For Your Property
If parts of your home or business feel too dark, or you are dealing with frequent bulb failures or tripping breakers, it may be time to look at new lighting. In many Hoover neighborhoods, we see older fixtures that were not designed for today’s usage, or add on lights that were never wired with the whole system in mind. These situations can create frustration and possible safety concerns over time.
Professional installation helps address more than appearance. Properly sized wiring, correctly rated fixtures, and careful attention to load on your electrical panel all work together to reduce fire risk and nuisance trips. Our electricians check these details before recommending lighting options, so you are not just getting brighter rooms, you are getting a safer setup.
We handle a wide range of indoor and outdoor lighting solutions for both homes and commercial properties. That can include recessed lighting for living rooms and kitchens, updated vanity lighting in bathrooms, or new fixtures in offices and waiting areas. Outside, we often install lighting for driveways, walkways, porches, and signs so that families, guests, and customers can move around more confidently after dark.
When you schedule service, our $79 fee includes a detailed electrical safety inspection. During this visit, we review your panel, visible wiring, and existing fixtures to identify concerns before work begins. This approach helps you make informed decisions about your lighting installation and any related electrical improvements that may be recommended.
How Our Lighting Installation Process Works
Many people put off lighting projects because they are unsure what the process involves or how disruptive it will be. We aim to make each lighting installation as straightforward as possible, from the first call to the final walkthrough. Our team explains what we see, presents options in plain language, and answers questions before any work starts.
When you reach out to us, we schedule a visit at a time that works for you. During the visit, we listen to what you want to change, whether that is brightening a kitchen, adding accent lighting, or improving visibility in a parking area. We then inspect your existing fixtures, wiring, and electrical panel so we understand what is already in place.
Our next step is to discuss options that fit your goals and the condition of your electrical system. That may mean recommending fixture styles, lamp types, or new circuit work if your current panel is near capacity. We provide clear pricing before work begins, so you know what is included and can decide how to move forward without pressure.
Here is what you can typically expect when we install new lighting:
- Initial phone call to understand your needs and schedule a visit.
- On site assessment that includes our safety inspection and review of wiring and panel capacity.
- Discussion of fixture placement, switching, and options tailored to your home or business.
- Written pricing and scope before work starts, with time to ask questions.
- Careful installation, including any required wiring or panel work, followed by testing.
- Final walkthrough so you can see how everything operates and know how to use new controls.
For homes, we work to limit disruption by protecting floors and furnishings and cleaning up after the job. For businesses, we can often schedule work during slower hours, and our 24/7 availability helps address urgent lighting problems that affect customer or employee safety. Our goal is to leave you with lighting that looks good, functions correctly, and meets current electrical standards.
Why Property Owners Choose Our Team
When you invite someone into your home or trust a contractor with your business, you want a team that treats the space with the same care you do. Shepherd Electric Company is a family and veteran owned electrical company, and that background shapes how we approach every project. We value punctuality, clear communication, and respect for your time and property.
Because we are licensed and insured, and because we follow applicable electrical codes, you can feel more confident about the work behind your walls and above your ceilings. Our electricians stay current on safety standards and practical installation methods, which is especially important when lighting projects require new circuits or changes at the panel. We strive to deliver workmanship you can rely on long after we leave.
For many property owners, long term reliability matters just as much as the initial installation. That is why we offer maintenance programs for electrical systems and generators that include cost saving benefits like priority scheduling and waived service fees. These programs are useful for homeowners who want recurring checks on their electrical system, and for commercial clients who need consistent performance from critical lighting and power equipment.
We also know that lighting outages do not always happen on a convenient schedule. Same day service is available for many situations, and we maintain 24/7 availability for electrical emergencies, such as failing exterior lighting that affects safety in entryways or parking areas. Clients across Hoover and neighboring communities turn to us because we combine craftsmanship with responsiveness, and we work to build relationships that last beyond a single project.
Lighting Options For Hoover Homes & Businesses
Properties in Hoover range from single family homes and townhomes to office buildings and neighborhood retail centers. Each setting has different lighting needs, and our team is familiar with the types of projects that come up in these spaces. We help you match fixture choices and layouts to how you actually use your rooms and exterior areas.
In homes, common projects include updating kitchen and dining room lighting, adding recessed fixtures in living areas, and improving bathroom and vanity lighting. Many homeowners also ask us to install porch, patio, and landscape lighting so entrances and outdoor living spaces feel more inviting and secure. We consider how light levels, color, and switching will work for daily life.
On the commercial side, we frequently work with small offices, medical suites, and storefronts that need bright, consistent lighting for customers and staff. That may involve installing new fixtures in work areas, upgrading older lighting, or adding wall packs and pole lights for building exteriors and parking locations. We coordinate with your operating hours to help keep downtime as low as practical.
Examples of lighting projects our electricians handle include:
- Recessed and ceiling mounted fixtures for living rooms, kitchens, and offices.
- Under cabinet and accent lighting to highlight work surfaces or displays.
- Porch, driveway, and walkway lighting to improve visibility at night.
- Security and motion activated lights for homes and commercial properties.
- Parking lot, sign, and building exterior lighting for businesses in the area.
For any project, we follow Alabama electrical codes and applicable local inspection requirements. Our safety inspection at the start of service helps identify whether wiring or panel upgrades should be considered before additional lighting is installed. This careful planning helps you avoid surprises later and supports a more dependable result.
