Putting “Pro” in the word “Professional.”
Having your Uncle Jim “who knows all about electricity” come in to install an additional outlet above the bathroom sink for your hairdryer seldom results in someone dying. Thank goodness! But you know what? Unless Uncle Jim is a certified electrician, it is still a terrible idea. It’s almost impossible to disagree with the idea that even one injury is too many.
Demand Safety
When facing any electrical work, one must also face all the potential hazards of such work. It includes risks to personal safety, that of your family or guests, as well as your house, and all the treasures you have spent a lifetime collecting.
There is probably only that single picture of Uncle Jim getting off of the ship in 1945 when he came home from the 2nd World War. There is only one original Matisse oil painting hanging over your fireplace. And no one in the world has your precise collection of coins, stamps, ancient weapons, hunting trophies, or leather-bound first edition books.
All of that is worth protecting—or more specifically—none of it is worth risking! Modern homes often feature architecture that makes even the most straightforward work on electrical panels and wiring more complicated than you would expect. Trying to DIY (Do-it-yourself) on an electrical issue, or during remodeling, can result in spectacular and unforeseen damage to the structure of your home.
Demand Expertise
That is entirely aside from the danger of electrocution or fire if you overlook one seemingly trivial detail. Illuminations Lighting Design has developed a systematic approach to electrical work that encompasses diagnostics and troubleshooting for identifying fundamental problems, but also brings increased comfort, safety, and higher resale value to your home!
People throughout Texas, and particularly in the greater Houston area, come to us whenever they need electrical work that revolves around new lighting fixtures and schemes. They know we have access to the correct components that are precisely suited to your installation.
We are not “make-do” artists who jury-rig solutions to get out of a difficult situation. We always use precisely the right part for the job so that it is 100% safe.
Demand Quality
As a vendor of lights and lighting equipment of all kinds, we can supply everything needed for your project. As professional and certified electricians, we can handle the wiring requirements of your electrical work. The thing our customers like most about us is that we can help you acquire virtually any device—no matter how esoteric—that is required to illuminate your home, garden, or patio.
This is important not only for bringing your dreams to fruition but for understanding the loading and requirements for that equipment. We engage in skills-upgrading every year so that we’re always at the top of our game. Integrating unusual or specialty lighting fixtures into ceilings, patios, walls, and outdoor lighting could be problematic—especially if some elder electrician has decided that they “already know everything” and never bothers to upgrade skills. We stay up-to-date.
We’re Professional Designers
Do you want to add chandeliers or a chandelier lift to your décor? Our design experts will provide suggestions to get the most out of your upgrade, giving you both class and flash. You can impress your guests in the public rooms, or simply pamper yourself with art nouveau lighting in your bathroom!
It doesn’t matter if your tastes run to the opulent or the spartan because we can do it all. More importantly, however, it is always professional work in full compliance with electrical safety regulations, and always of superb quality workmanship.
Looking to sell?
Homeowners should consider contracting basic electrical upgrade work before listing the house on the market. Why? Having some dubious-looking wiring could easily kill a potential sale. Also, most insurers will not cover a house with old-fashioned Knob and Tube (K&T) wiring, which could also kill a sale. If people can’t obtain house insurance, they won’t even put in an offer.
On the more positive side, installing Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI, or sometimes GFI) is a marked advantage for Sellers because it is an easy-to-see upgrade for Buyers. It gives them a sense of safety and increases their confidence that your home is a good place to live.
If you are serious about electrical work that brings you the highest return on investment, then consider adding a tankless water heater to save on electricity costs. And after the power interruptions that we have experienced recently, adding a generator and emergency lighting system to the property will make your buyers scramble to sign the contract.
Best of all, ILD can include the electrical inspection report for any home resale. We truly are a one-source solution shop for home sellers throughout Texas.
