Common Problems with Recessed Lighting

While recessed lighting is highly reliable, it can occasionally experience issues, such as:

Flickering Lights: Often caused by loose wiring or incompatible dimmer switches.
Overheating: Can occur if the lights are not properly insulated or ventilated.
Uneven Lighting: May result from improper spacing or incorrect bulb wattage.
Buzzing Sounds: Usually caused by faulty transformers or low-quality bulbs.

At Smart Wires, we’re here to diagnose and resolve any issues with your recessed lighting, ensuring it performs flawlessly for years to come.

Recessed lighting installation cost

Our recessed lighting installation services start at $150 per light, making it an affordable upgrade for any home or business. The total cost depends on factors such as the number of lights, the complexity of the installation, and the type of fixtures chosen.

Factors That Determine Recessed Lighting Installation Costs

Number of Lights: The more lights you need, the higher the overall cost.
Ceiling Type: Installing lights in drywall is simpler and less expensive than in concrete or plaster ceilings.
Wiring Requirements: If new wiring is needed, the cost will increase due to additional labor and materials.
Fixture Type: High-end or specialty fixtures, such as LED or adjustable lights, may cost more than standard options.
Accessibility: Hard-to-reach areas or high ceilings may require additional equipment or labor.
