Lighting & Fixtures
Recessed lighting, fixtures, and landscape lighting.
Recessed lighting, fixture swaps, under-cabinet, and landscape lighting — done to code and cleanly, with minimal disruption to finished ceilings.
Homeowners & businesses
For homeowners
In homes, that’s recessed lighting, fixture upgrades, under-cabinet and landscape lighting, and switching to LED and dimmers — done cleanly with minimal disruption to finished ceilings.
For businesses
For businesses, lighting is often an LED retrofit to cut energy costs, plus exit and emergency lighting to stay compliant, and sign or parking-lot lighting — scheduled around your hours.
Signs you should call
- A room is dim, patchy, or you’re relying on lamps
- You want recessed lighting, under-cabinet lighting, or a statement fixture
- Old fixtures, or you’re switching to LED and dimmers
- Lights or dimmers flicker or buzz
- You want new landscape, security, or exterior lighting
How it works
Call or request a quote and describe the problem or project. We’ll ask a few questions, and when we can we’ll give you a sense of what’s involved right away.
We come out and find the real issue — not just the symptom — and tell you what it’ll cost before we do it. A simple fix we’ll often just take care of on the spot; for a bigger job we provide a written estimate. Either way, no surprise charges.
We do the work to NJ code, pull the permit and handle the inspection where it’s required, and walk you through what we did before we leave.
How we price it
What drives a lighting job:
- Number of fixtures, and switching or dimming
- Ceiling height and how we reach it
- Attic access above the ceiling — an open attic is quick; no access means cutting and patching
- Whether IC-rated fixtures are required (contact with insulation)
- New circuits vs. tying into existing
We’ll tell you up front where access makes a room easy or hard.
Lighting & fixtures — frequently asked questions
Can you add recessed lighting to a finished room?
Yes. We install recessed lights, fixtures, dimmers, and under-cabinet lighting in finished spaces, fishing the wiring with minimal disruption and patching where needed. We lay out the spacing with you so the light is even, not patchy.
Can you switch my lights to LED and put them on dimmers?
Yes — LED retrofits cut energy use and last far longer, and we make sure the fixtures and dimmers are compatible so you don’t get flicker or buzz. We can also add smart or timer controls where you want them.
Will you give me a price before doing the work?
Yes — you’ll know the cost before we do the work. For a service call or a small fix we’ll tell you what it’ll take and, if it’s quick, often just take care of it on the spot. For a bigger job like a panel upgrade or an install, we provide a written estimate. Electrical pricing depends on what we find on site, so we price it after we see it rather than from a menu — and we don’t add to it without your say-so.
Do you handle small jobs, or only big projects?
Both. A single outlet, a flickering circuit, or one new fixture is just as welcome as a full panel upgrade or a rewire. We’d rather you call a licensed electrician for the small stuff than risk a fix behind the wall going wrong.
How quickly can you come out?
We offer same-day service for urgent electrical problems. Call (732) 555-0148 — depending on the day you might reach us directly and get a quote or a visit set up on the spot, or leave your details and we’ll get right back to you. We won’t promise a time we can’t keep.
Why call a licensed electrician instead of doing it myself?
Electrical work is one of the few home jobs where a mistake can start a fire or quietly fail an inspection years later at resale. A licensed, insured, and bonded electrician pulls the permit, does the work to current NJ code, and leaves you with an inspection sign-off — unpermitted or DIY work can void your insurance and create problems when you sell.
Is Northline Electric licensed and insured?
Yes — Northline Electric LLC is a licensed, insured, and bonded New Jersey electrical contractor (NJ Lic. 34EI01388240), and we provide a certificate of insurance on request.
