Additional Costs

There will be additional related costs incurred as part of a lighting upgrade project. These include the cost of the cable that is required to connect new fixtures to the home’s electrical power, electrical junction boxes, and new switches. If a new electrical circuit is needed to support the new light fixtures, a new circuit breaker will also be required. Your particular requirement for these additional materials will depend on variables such as the number of lights that will be installed in your project, the size of your kitchen, the number and type of switches to be used, and the distance to an adequate electrical power source.

To avoid surprises, it is helpful to ask the installer to account for these additional material costs as a line item that is separate from his labor charge.

We really ask a lot of our kitchens. Not only do we use them for different functions, we often perform these different functions simultaneously. Once your kitchen is equipped with a well-planned variety of lighting types you will be able to layer them in combinations that will provide illumination that is appealing and that is appropriate for each task and purpose.
