Why Choose Our Lighting Team

Choosing someone to work on your electrical system is an important decision. You are trusting that team with the safety of your family, employees, and property. We take that responsibility seriously, and our background as a family- and veteran-owned company guides how we show up on every job in Pelham.

Our electricians are licensed and insured, and we maintain an array of certifications that reflect ongoing training and familiarity with electrical codes in Alabama. This helps us plan and complete lighting projects so they are not only attractive but also properly supported by your wiring and electrical panel. When we recommend a solution, we have evaluated how it fits your existing system.

We also know that pricing transparency matters. We offer a $79 service fee that includes a comprehensive electrical safety inspection. During this visit, our team reviews your panel, visible wiring, and relevant circuits to identify concerns that could affect new fixtures. You receive clear recommendations before you commit to additional work, which helps you make informed decisions about your lighting upgrade.

Because Shepherd Electric Company handles electrical panel upgrades, wiring and rewiring, and both indoor and outdoor lighting, you do not have to coordinate multiple contractors. If we discover that your panel needs attention before adding several new lights, we can discuss that with you and create a plan during the same visit. Our goal is to be your dependable electrical partner for initial installation and future projects around Pelham.

Our Lighting Installation Process

When you reach out to us about new lighting, we want the process to feel straightforward. Our team starts by listening to what you want to change, whether it is a dark kitchen, a hard-to-see parking area, or outdated fixtures throughout your office. We then schedule a visit based on your availability, and when possible we offer prompt appointments for customers in the area.

At your appointment, we begin with a safety-focused assessment. This typically includes reviewing the electrical panel, looking at the circuits that serve the areas you want to light, and checking for visible issues such as outdated wiring or overloaded breakers. The $79 service fee covers this comprehensive inspection, so you understand the condition of your system before we add new loads.

Once we know your electrical system can support the changes, we work with you to plan fixture locations and types. Some customers in Pelham prefer recessed lighting to brighten living rooms without visible fixtures. Others want pendant lighting over kitchen islands, task lighting in home offices, or LED panels in commercial spaces. We discuss your goals, room layout, and how you use each space, then suggest options that balance appearance, function, and energy efficiency.

On installation day, our electricians arrive within the agreed time window and protect your floors and furnishings where we are working. We remove or adjust existing fixtures as needed, make circuit connections according to code, and mount new lights securely. After the installation, we test each fixture, check switch operations, and verify that breakers operate as expected. We clean up our work areas before we leave, so you can start using your new lighting right away.

Throughout the process, we communicate clearly about timing, any unexpected findings, and your options. When projects involve more extensive work, such as panel upgrades or significant rewiring, we review those needs with you and provide written estimates. This way, you know what to expect at each step and can plan your lighting improvements with confidence.

Indoor & Outdoor Lighting Solutions

Lighting needs vary widely from one property to another, and our team is prepared to help with a broad range of projects. Inside Pelham homes, we often install recessed lighting to create even illumination in living rooms and hallways. We also upgrade kitchen and bathroom lighting to improve visibility for cooking and grooming, and we add or relocate ceiling fixtures to better match updated furniture layouts.

In addition to typical residential work, we support small offices, retail spaces, and other commercial properties. Proper lighting can make products easier to see, help employees work more comfortably, and create a welcoming environment for customers. We install and upgrade fixtures such as LED troffers, track lighting, and accent lights, always considering both brightness and energy use.

Outdoor lighting plays an important role in safety and appearance for Pelham properties. Many homeowners ask us to install or improve porch and patio lighting so guests can move safely at night. Others add security and flood lighting around driveways, walkways, or backyards to increase visibility. Landscape lighting can highlight trees, paths, and architectural features, helping yards look cared for after dark.

For all of these projects, we pay close attention to weather-resistant fixtures, proper mounting, and correct wiring methods. Our electricians consider local conditions and typical usage when recommending equipment, so your lighting continues to perform well over time. We also aim to use energy-efficient options where appropriate, which can help manage long-term operating costs while still providing the brightness you need.

Safety Inspections & Maintenance

Safe lighting starts with a solid electrical foundation. Our comprehensive electrical safety inspections are designed to identify issues that could affect your lighting or overall system performance. During these inspections, we look at your main panel, evaluate breaker sizing and labeling, and review accessible wiring and connections related to the areas you want to illuminate.

When we find conditions that may not meet current safety expectations or that could limit your ability to add lighting, we explain them in clear terms. This might include older wiring methods, crowded panels, or circuits that already serve several high-demand fixtures. We then discuss practical options for improvement and give you an estimate before any additional work is performed.

Shepherd Electric Company also offers maintenance programs for customers who want ongoing support for their electrical systems and generators. These programs are structured to make regular checkups more affordable, and they come with advantages such as priority scheduling and waived service fees. Many Pelham property owners find that this approach helps them address small issues before they grow into larger repairs.

Lighting is often one of the first places you notice electrical problems, such as flickering, frequent bulb failures, or breakers that trip when several fixtures are on. With routine maintenance, our team can monitor your system, suggest updates when appropriate, and work to keep your lighting reliable. Our goal is to provide peace of mind that the wiring behind your switches and fixtures has been checked by licensed professionals.
