Frequently Asked Questions
How much does lighting installation cost in Austin?
Every project is different - cost depends on the type of lighting, the number of fixtures, and whether new circuits or wiring are needed. Because those factors vary home to home, the only reliable way to get an accurate number is an assessment. Malco Electric provides free estimates with honest, upfront quotes - no surprises.
Can you add recessed lighting to a room without attic access?
Yes, in many cases we can install recessed lighting without attic access using retrofit LED cans and fishing wire through walls. Feasibility depends on your ceiling construction. We assess each situation during your free estimate.
What is the best outdoor lighting for security in Austin?
Motion-activated LED flood lights are the most effective and energy-efficient security option. We also install dusk-to-dawn fixtures, smart lighting you can control from your phone, and pathway lighting. We'll recommend the best approach based on your property layout and security goals.
Do you install landscape lighting?
Yes, Malco Electric installs low-voltage landscape lighting systems including pathway lights, uplighting for trees and architecture, deck and patio lighting, and pool area lighting. We handle all electrical connections and ensure everything is properly grounded and weatherproofed.
Can you upgrade my existing lighting to LED?
Absolutely. We install LED retrofit kits in existing fixtures, replace fluorescent tubes with LED alternatives, and upgrade recessed cans to energy-efficient LED trims. LED upgrades typically reduce lighting energy costs by 50 to 75% and last significantly longer than traditional bulbs.
