Lighting Installation

Transform Your Space with Professional Lighting Installation

Lighting serves as the foundation of every comfortable and functional space, whether you’re illuminating your kitchen for meal preparation or creating ambient lighting in your living room for relaxation. At First Choice Plumbing, Heating, Air Conditioning & Electrical, we understand that proper lighting installation requires technical expertise, attention to detail, and a comprehensive understanding of electrical systems. Our family-owned business has spent 15 years perfecting the art of electrical installations, ensuring every fixture we install enhances both the beauty and functionality of your home.

Modern lighting technology has evolved significantly beyond simple incandescent bulbs, now encompassing LED systems, smart home integration, and energy-efficient solutions that can reduce your electricity consumption by up to 75 percent. We specialize in installing everything from recessed lighting and chandelier mounting to outdoor security lighting and landscape illumination systems. Each installation begins with a thorough assessment of your electrical panel capacity, existing wiring infrastructure, and specific lighting goals to ensure optimal performance and safety compliance.

Comprehensive Lighting Solutions for Every Room

Kitchen lighting requires special consideration due to the multiple tasks performed in this space throughout the day. We install layered lighting systems that combine ambient ceiling fixtures with task lighting under cabinets, ensuring proper illumination for food preparation while maintaining an inviting atmosphere. Pendant lights over islands provide both functional illumination and decorative appeal, while dimmer switches allow you to adjust brightness levels based on the time of day or activity.

Bathroom lighting installations demand careful attention to safety regulations and moisture resistance requirements. We ensure all fixtures meet appropriate IP ratings for wet locations and install GFCI protection where required by code. Our experienced technicians position vanity lights at optimal heights to minimize shadows while providing flattering illumination for grooming tasks. Additionally, we can install exhaust fans with integrated lighting to improve ventilation while maximizing ceiling space efficiency.

Energy Efficiency and Smart Technology Integration

LED technology represents a revolutionary advancement in lighting efficiency, consuming approximately 90 percent less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs while lasting up to 25 times longer. We help homeowners throughout Garfield, Hackensack, Hasbrough, Lodi, Passaic, Saddlebrook, Edison Township, Hasbrouck Heights, Highland Park, and Woodbridge, NJ transition to LED lighting systems, calculating potential energy savings based on usage patterns and electricity rates. Our installation process includes proper heat sink evaluation and driver compatibility checks to ensure maximum LED lifespan and performance.

Smart lighting systems offer unprecedented control over your home’s illumination, allowing you to adjust brightness, color temperature, and scheduling through smartphone apps or voice commands. We install and configure systems compatible with major platforms including Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. These installations involve setting up hub devices, configuring wireless protocols, and establishing automation routines that enhance convenience while reducing energy waste through occupancy sensors and daylight harvesting features.

Safety Standards and Code Compliance

Every lighting installation we perform adheres strictly to National Electrical Code requirements and local building regulations. Our senior technicians stay current with code updates through continuing education, ensuring your installation meets all safety standards for wire sizing, circuit protection, and grounding requirements. We pull necessary permits for major installations and coordinate inspections to provide complete documentation for your records.

Proper circuit loading prevents overheating and potential fire hazards. We calculate total wattage requirements for new lighting installations and verify existing circuit capacity before beginning work. When necessary, we install dedicated circuits for high-demand lighting systems or add subpanels to accommodate expanding electrical needs. Our 24/7 emergency services mean we’re always available if unexpected electrical issues arise during or after installation.

Customer Reviews

First Choice came out today for my annual A/C maintenance, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Lenny Z was the technician — he was professional, courteous, and right on time. He made sure everything was running efficiently before he left. I highly recommend First Choice for anyone looking for reliable, top-notch service for their HVAC !

Howard Z

We had Alex Dicrosta of First Choice come check our furnace today because it was leaking water when the AC was on. Alex diagnosed the issue quickly that it was a clogged pipe going from the water pump. He unclogged the pipe and confirmed that was the cause of the leak. Alex is extreme knowledgeable, friendly, and customer focused. He even checked the rest of the unit to make sure everything was working properly before he left. I will definitely request Alex the next time I need AC or heating service from First Choice.
