While a DIY-savvy homeowner may choose to install lighting on their own, it’s best to hire an electrician to do the job. A certified electrician will be able to guide your decisions, help you choose the best light fixtures and reduce the risk of complications. When you hire a professional, you can rest easy knowing that the project will be finished correctly in a timely manner without any mistakes.
According to Home Advisor, the cost of if outdoor landscape lighting installation is $2,000-$4,500. However, the total cost depends on how much lighting you’re installing, the time it will take and the type of lighting you choose. In addition, choosing a high-quality electrician can seem pricey, but knowing that their work will be done 100% correctly is worth the cost.
If you’ve installed both indoor and outdoor lighting, you’ve probably noticed how much more expensive the latter seems to be. This is because every part of outdoor lighting must be strong and durable enough to last for many years outside. Everything, from the light fixtures to the wiring, must be completely waterproof and difficult to break. When it comes to outdoor lighting, you must pay for these higher-quality, more expensive materials.
While the size of your home’s backup generator will depend on your specific electrical needs, a generator rated at 5,000-7,500 watts is a good starting point. This is enough to run all of your essential household equipment, including a well pump, refrigerator and freezer and lights. Contact Arnold Electrical to get an estimate for the best size generator for you.

Yes, a generator will definitely pay for itself eventually. Over time, your home’s generator will save you the cost of replacing spoiled food and damaged frozen pipes in the event of a power outage. It will also help keep you comfortable and minimize disruption to your daily life during power outages.
Yes, you can receive a tax credit (not a tax deduction) for having a backup generator installed in your home. This way, your generator will save you money even if you aren’t using it.
Installing a ceiling fan, especially if you’re replacing a light fixture with it, is a tempting DIY task, but the added wiring and weight make it a complicated one. To avoid problems with your new ceiling fan in the future, it’s best to have it installed by a professional electrician. The service is inexpensive and comes with the certainty that your fan won’t be falling from the ceiling like a scene from a cartoon anytime soon!
Yes, you can have a charging station for your electrical vehicle installed at home. While it may require some rewiring to accommodate the equipment, your charging station will charge your car faster than the portable charger that came with it, saving you time.
If your home’s wiring is outdated (more than 50 years old), you need to rewire your entire house. 75% of all homeowner’s insurance claims are from fires caused by faulty or outdated electrical wiring. While the rewiring process can feel disruptive and overwhelming, it’s a necessary part of protecting your home and family. If you suspect that your home needs rewiring, contact Kankpe Electric for a system inspection.
