The Cost of a Recessed Lighting Upgrade

Everyone wants to change the look and feel of their home from time to time. There are wildly expensive ways of doing this, and there are budget-friendly approaches, as well. Those who want to alter the ambiance while adding some practical features to the home often seek out recessed lighting options.

Recessed lighting solutions have the potential to uniformly cast comfortable light through an entire room. Gone are the days of dark corners and over-lit dining areas. How much does it cost to upgrade the lights in a home, though? LR Electrical LLC is here to answer that question for you.

What to Expect from a Lighting Upgrade

When it comes to upgrading the lights in an existing home, homeowners can expect to pay anywhere from $125.00 to $300.00 per light. Estimates like these are not solely based on the value of the lights themselves, but the cost of materials and the labor that goes into the entire upgrading process.

Here is a breakdown of the numerous factors that influence the final cost of a lighting upgrade.

• Types of lights
• Location
• Old home or new construction
• Wiring and additional labor
• Additional dimmers and added switches
• Permits
• Trim and finishes
• And more

• Recessed LED lights

Selecting the Right Lights

Recessed lights vary in quality—even lights made by the same manufacturer. In the interest of saving you time and money, your preferred electrical contractor should work with you to determine the best types of lights for your preferences. Do you want recessed lighting fixtures that run along the walls of your hallways? Would you like recessed lighting throughout the entire open-concept main floor or just throughout the kitchen?

Work with your contractor to determine the right course of action. The more you plan, the more money you will save during the upgrading process. Backtracking and last-minute changes always wind up contributing to higher labor costs—and no one wants that.
