What Sets Shepherd Electric Company Apart for Lighting Work
Before we install a single fixture, we need to know your electrical system can handle it. That’s why every visit begins with a $79 comprehensive electrical safety inspection. Our electricians review your main panel, evaluate breaker sizing and labeling, assess circuit load balances, and check accessible wiring for wear. We also use thermal imaging to detect heat anomalies in wiring and connections that aren’t visible to the naked eye because adding lighting to a circuit that’s already running hot creates a hazard no amount of careful fixture selection can solve.
After the inspection, you receive a full report on-site via email. Written estimates are prepared on the technician’s tablet or sent directly to your inbox, with no additional charge regardless of how many estimates your project requires. When you approve the work, our team can begin the same day in most cases.
Because Shepherd Electric Company handles panel upgrades, wiring and rewiring, and both indoor and outdoor lighting, you don’t need to coordinate multiple contractors. If the inspection surfaces a wiring issue before we add fixtures, we can walk you through it during the same visit and outline your options in writing. We maintain an array of certifications reflecting continuous training and Alabama electrical code familiarity.
Our Lighting Installation Process
The process begins when you reach out. Whether you have a specific fixture in mind or just know a room isn’t working, we listen first. We schedule your visit around your availability and, when possible, offer prompt appointments for Pelham customers.
The $79 Assessment Visit
At your appointment, we open with a panel review, a circuit evaluation for the areas you want to light, and a check for visible issues, including outdated wiring or overloaded breakers. Once we confirm your system can support the planned changes, we discuss fixture types and locations. Common choices include recessed lighting for living rooms and hallways, pendant lighting over kitchen islands, task lighting for home offices, and LED panels for commercial spaces. We factor in room layout, how you use each space, and energy efficiency alongside appearance.
Installation Day
Our electricians arrive within the agreed window, protect your floors and furnishings, remove or adjust existing fixtures as needed, and make all circuit connections to code. After installation, we test each fixture, verify switch operation, and confirm breaker performance before we leave. The workspace is cleaned up so you can use your new lighting immediately.
When a project requires more extensive work, such as a panel upgrade or significant rewiring, we provide written estimates before that work begins. No surprises at the end of the job.
Indoor & Outdoor Lighting Solutions in Pelham
Residential indoor work covers a wide range of upgrades. We install recessed lighting for even illumination in living rooms and hallways, upgrade kitchen and bathroom fixtures for better task visibility, and add or relocate ceiling fixtures to fit updated room layouts. Pendant lighting, specialty fixtures, and LED-compatible installations are all part of what our team handles for Pelham homeowners.
For commercial properties in Pelham, we install and upgrade LED troffers, track lighting, and accent lighting across offices, retail spaces, and other business environments. Good commercial lighting affects employee comfort, how products read to customers, and how welcoming a space feels. We consider both brightness and energy consumption when recommending fixtures.
Outdoor lighting serves both safety and curb appeal. We install porch and patio lighting, security and flood lighting around driveways and walkways, and landscape lighting for trees, paths, and architectural features. Every outdoor installation uses weather-resistant fixtures rated for the exposure level of each location. LED fixtures are the current standard for outdoor energy efficiency and longevity, and we recommend them accordingly.
Electrical Safety Inspections & Maintenance Programs
Lighting problems are often the first sign of a deeper electrical issue. Flickering lights, frequent bulb failures, and breakers that trip when multiple fixtures are on are common indicators of wiring or panel concerns worth investigating. Our comprehensive safety inspection addresses exactly these conditions by reviewing the main panel, breaker sizing and labeling, and accessible wiring tied to the areas you want to light.
Shepherd Electric Company offers two maintenance programs covering electrical systems and generators. Both include annual safety inspections, priority scheduling, and waived service fees. For Pelham property owners who want proactive support rather than reactive repairs, these programs give our team ongoing visibility into your system so small issues are less likely to become expensive ones.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Does the $79 Service Fee Cover?
The $79 fee covers a comprehensive electrical safety inspection that includes thermal imaging, a panel review, breaker evaluation, and a check of accessible wiring. You receive a report on-site, and written estimates for any additional work are provided at no extra charge. You decide what to approve before anything beyond the inspection begins.
How Much Does Lighting Installation Cost?
Costs depend on the number of fixtures, the condition of your current wiring, and how much new wiring the project requires. After the $79 inspection, we provide a clear written estimate so you can evaluate the full scope before committing to the work.
Can Your Team Handle Both Wiring & Fixtures?
Yes. Our electricians manage complete lighting projects including new wiring, circuit adjustments, and fixture installation. If your panel or wiring needs attention before we add new fixtures, we identify that during the inspection and can walk you through the options before any additional work is scheduled.
Will the Installation Disrupt My Home or Business?
Some disruption is unavoidable with electrical work, but we keep it manageable. We schedule at times that work for you, protect floors and furnishings in the work area, and clean up before we leave. Most customers can use their new lighting the same day installation is complete.
How Quickly Can You Schedule a Lighting Appointment in Pelham?
Scheduling depends on current demand and the nature of your request. Same-day service is available for many electrical issues when our calendar allows, with priority given to safety-related concerns. When you call, we’ll discuss your situation and offer the earliest available appointment.

Serving Pelham’s Residential Neighborhoods & Commercial Properties
Pelham sits in Shelby County along U.S. 31 within the greater Birmingham metro area, and the city reflects that growth: established residential neighborhoods alongside active commercial corridors, each with different lighting demands. Homeowners in older neighborhoods often find that adding fixtures means evaluating wiring that wasn’t designed with today’s lighting loads in mind. Businesses along the commercial corridor need lighting that performs consistently for employees and customers every day.
Shepherd Electric Company serves both. Our team handles projects ranging from a single-room fixture upgrade in a Pelham home to multi-zone lighting installations across a commercial space. Same-day service is available when our schedule allows for customers with urgent lighting concerns. Whether your project is straightforward or requires a closer look at your panel and wiring first, we bring the same licensed, inspected approach to every job.
