A licensed electrician handles every install on this list. That means safe wiring, no code violations, and no guesswork on your end.
Pot Light Installation in Scarborough
Recessed lighting is one of the most requested upgrades we do for Scarborough homeowners. Whether you are finishing a basement, opening up a living room, or replacing old fixtures with clean flush-mounted lights, pot light installation gives you a polished result without exposed hardware.
We cut the holes, run the wiring, install the trims, and connect everything to your existing circuit or a new one. There are no exposed cables when the job is done. All work meets the Ontario Electrical Code.
This type of recessed light installation is especially common in Scarborough homes with drop ceilings or open-concept layouts. We do a lot of this work in areas like Agincourt and Woburn where renovations are active and older fixture setups need replacing.
LED Pot Light Retrofit in Scarborough
If your home still has halogen or incandescent pot lights, a retrofit swap is one of the easiest ways to cut your hydro bill and stop replacing bulbs every few months. This service is for homeowners who want the benefits of LED without tearing open the ceiling for a full new install.
We pull out the old housing and drop in an integrated LED module. In most cases, no new wiring is needed. The job is done in hours and your drywall stays intact.
Many older homes in West Hill and Highland Creek are still running halogen pot lights. A pot light upgrade to LED pays back quickly in lower energy costs and fewer maintenance calls.
Chandelier Installation in Scarborough
A chandelier installation is not a job to hand off to someone without electrical training. The fixture needs to be wired correctly and the ceiling needs to carry the weight safely. This service is for homeowners replacing a dining room light, adding a statement piece in an entryway, or upgrading after a renovation.
We check the junction box before anything goes up. If it cannot carry the load, we mount a proper brace first. Then we wire the fixture, secure it, and test it before we leave. No risk of a ceiling drop.
Heavier hanging light fixtures over dining tables are common in Scarborough's larger detached homes near Morningside and Lawrence. If your fixture came with a weight warning or the box looks original to the house, have it checked before install.
Pendant Light Installation in Scarborough
Pendant lights are a popular upgrade over kitchen islands, breakfast bars, and reading nooks. This service is for homeowners who want focused task lighting in a specific spot without adding a full overhead fixture.
We install the canopy, set the hanging height to suit your space, and connect the wiring to your ceiling circuit. Your pendants come out level, cleanly wired, and ready to use. Island pendant lights are positioned so the light falls where you actually work.
Kitchen island pendants are one of the more common lighting requests we get in Scarborough's semi-detached homes and recently renovated townhouses. If you are redoing a kitchen or just want to refresh the look above your counter, this is a straightforward add-on to the project.
Outdoor Lighting Installation in Scarborough
Exterior lighting covers a lot of ground. Porch lights, garage lights, soffit lighting, and anything mounted outside your home for visibility or curb appeal. This service is for homeowners who want outside light fixtures that hold up and work reliably year-round.
We mount every fixture to a weatherproof box, run wiring through conduit or inside the wall, and seal all connections against moisture. Everything is done to the Ontario Electrical Code. You get lighting that handles the weather without tripping breakers or corroding at the connections.
Scarborough winters are hard on older outdoor fixtures. Many homes along Ellesmere and Kingston Road need box replacements along with new lights. If your current fixture is rusting, flickering, or pulling away from the wall, the box underneath is usually the reason.
Security Lighting Installation in Scarborough
Security lighting is for homeowners and property owners who want reliable, bright coverage at entry points, driveways, and blind corners. This is not decor lighting. The goal is to eliminate dark zones around your property.
We mount flood or area lights at height, aim them to cover the spots that matter, and wire them to a dedicated outdoor circuit or an existing exterior line. The result is consistent coverage that does not depend on a timer or a bulb you forget to replace.
Security lighting requests are common in Scarborough's denser residential areas near Malvern and Centennial. Properties with long driveways or side-yard access benefit most from perimeter lighting. If someone can approach your home without stepping into light, that is the spot to address first.
Motion Sensor Light Installation in Scarborough
A motion-activated light turns on when someone approaches and shuts off when they leave. This service is for homeowners who want automatic coverage without leaving lights on all night or managing a timer.
We install the sensor-integrated fixture or add a separate PIR sensor to a light you already have. Sensitivity and detection range are set on-site so the light responds where you need it and ignores what you do not. No false triggers from passing cars or neighbouring yards.
In Scarborough, motion sensor light installation is often paired with a security lighting upgrade. Backyard gates and side-yard passages are the spots we get called to most. If someone has to walk through a dark passage to reach your door or yard, a PIR light installation there is a practical first step.
Under Cabinet Lighting Installation in Scarborough
Under cabinet lighting gives you bright, direct light on your countertop without adding another overhead fixture. This service is for homeowners who want better task lighting in the kitchen for prep work, cooking, or just seeing what is on the counter clearly.
We hardwire LED strips or puck lights under your upper cabinets, hide the wiring inside the cabinet, and tie the switch into a nearby outlet or wall switch. Nothing is left exposed. The result is clean, built-in cabinet task lighting that looks like it was always part of the kitchen.
This is a popular add-on during kitchen renovations in Scarborough's older bungalows. The low-clearance cabinet layouts common in homes built before the 1990s work well with this type of install. If your kitchen reno is wrapping up and the counters still feel dim, this is the last piece that pulls the lighting together.
