Exterior/interior pot light installation

You want a home renovation project to brighten up your home, but you don’t want to break the bank, but you do want to add value to your home through the investment. One of the most straightforward and inexpensive projects that can be assumed is pot light installation – exterior or interior lighting – to illuminate the ambiance and charm of your home.

Your pot light installation doesn’t have to come in the form of a renovation project, it can be added to a new construction project, and your friends at Integrity Electricians are ready to assist with your home improvement project.

We have over two decades of service to the electrical industry, and our team of residential electricians have installed 100s of pot lights for homeowners that have improved the aesthetic beauty of their home and the resident’s quality of life.

Why Pot Lights?

There are many reasons to illuminate the inside of your home with pot lights, and we will provide a guide to pot light installation – indoors and outdoors – to help build your knowledge to make an informed decision.

• The Cost of Installation

  No two jobs are alike; every time we engage in an installation – providing the work to install the lights and any additional electrical work required to run the new equipment – it is unique as the character of the home we are installing the lights in.

  The number of lights installed determines the cost, additional wiring required, does the panel need an upgrade and labour costs. We can’t quote your project until we get into the details, but rest assured, Integrity Electricians will provide a fair price that fits every budget.

• Differences Between Pot Lights And Recessed Lights

  There are no differences between the two lights; it’s a matter of semantics or characterization, if you prefer. The fixtures provide lighting on a downward plane, and both are installed into the ceiling fixed above where the ceiling comes across from the walls or above the confines of the ceiling.

  Kitchens, showers, hallways and recreation rooms are common places to install pot lighting based on the versatility of the lighting system and the area of illumination they provide.

• Adding Pot Lights To Any Ceiling

  There are two conditions here that must be met. You can install pots to an existing ceiling, but you may have to add infrastructure – wiring and electrical work – to achieve your goal. If you don’t have pot lights installed, you need a professional to come in, map out where the lights will be installed and cut the holes before an electrician can install the wiring and fixtures.

  Before you plan to install pot lights, we recommend a meeting to discuss your needs and what will be required to fulfill the project.

• Pot Lights And Value

  When you combine pot lights’ versatility and illumination factor with open-concept interior design, you have a trifecta winner when selling your home. Not only is it more attractive to prospective home buyers, but it is also one less remodelling project they will assume after purchase.

  In the real estate market, buyers are motivated by accents, and pot lights are one such addition that creates a buzz.

• Pot Light Installation, By The Numbers

  When you add pot lights, there is a rule of thumb to consider when determining how many to install. Depending on room size, you should install one pot light for every four to six feet square of space to take the best advantage of a pot light’s illumination capacity.

  You can use pot lights to highlight focal points in your home, and their utility as a lighting source is extremely beneficial.

Outdoor Pot Lights

Exterior pot lights are a great addition to your home and provide security. Lighting the exterior of your home keeps intruders from the shadows, and the cover of darkness for nefarious activities is eliminated.

Outdoor pot lights can make your home shine like a diamond at night, but you must consider the weather and climate before installation. The lights you install must be compatible with your area. Otherwise, lighting failure is destined to follow your project.
