Expert Lighting Solutions The Bronx NY – Brighten Your Home or Business with Trusted Local Electricians

You walk into your kitchen at night and can barely see the counters. Your living room has one old ceiling fixture from 1987 trying to light 300 square feet, and the hallway’s so dark you bump into walls. The basement? Feels like a dungeon. Bronx apartments and homes have terrible lighting. I’ve been doing electrical work in The Bronx for years—from Fordham pre-war walkups with one fixture per room, to Riverdale split-levels with no kitchen lighting, to classic Pelham Bay brick buildings where every room feels dim. It’s not just about brightness; it’s about how you live. Cooking in Belmont without light is unsafe, kids in Morris Park strain their eyes, and working from Co-op City with headaches ruins productivity.

Good lighting solutions change everything. It’s not just swapping bulbs, but comprehensive lighting design. LED recessed lighting makes kitchens functional, under-cabinet lights stop shadows, and smart lighting puts control in your hands. Outdoor solutions brighten Throggs Neck and Parkchester yards. Proper brightness, placement, and layered design (ambient, task, accent) reduce your Con Ed bill, improve comfort, and make your home livable. Lighting isn’t about picking fixtures at Home Depot—it’s about knowing how spaces are used, calculating illumination, and installing to code. Call 646-708-5530—we’ve been transforming Bronx homes from cave-dark to comfortable for years.

About Us

About Our Lighting Solutions Experts in The Bronx NY

We’ve been doing electrical work across The Bronx long enough to know every neighborhood has its quirks. The pre-war buildings in Kingsbridge and Fordham with original wiring and no ground. The co-ops in Co-op City with strict building management rules. The attached houses in Morris Park and Van Nest where everyone shares walls. The beautiful single-families in Riverdale and Fieldston with high ceilings and complicated layouts. The walkups in Concourse and Highbridge where we’re hauling equipment up narrow staircases.

Here’s what we learned: most Bronx homes and apartments were built when lighting was an afterthought. One ceiling fixture per room, maybe an outlet or two, done. Nobody thought about task lighting for kitchens, accent lighting for living spaces, outdoor lighting for safety, or the fact that people would eventually work from home and need proper illumination. So now we’re retrofitting modern lighting solutions into buildings that were wired when Eisenhower was president.

We combine decades of hands-on experience with a customer-first approach that puts your safety, budget, and vision at the center of everything we do. We don’t cut corners, and we don’t disappear after the job is done. From your first call to the final walk-through, we’re with you every step of the way.

  • Actually Licensed NYC Electricians – Real licenses, real insurance, not some guy with a van
  • We Design First, Install Second – Understanding your space before throwing random lights up
  • Smart Home Integration Specialists – Making everything work with Alexa, Google, apps, whatever you use
  • We Work Fast and Clean – Because nobody wants contractors hanging around forever

Services

Our Lighting Solutions The Bronx NY Services

Lighting Solutions in The Bronx NY

We start by understanding how you use your space. Kitchen? You need task lighting over counters (where you're actually working), ambient lighting for when you're eating or entertaining, and maybe accent lighting if you've got nice cabinets or shelving. Living room? You want layered lighting, some ambient (overhead), some task (reading lamps or floor lamps), some accent (highlighting art or architecture). Bedroom? You need good general lighting plus bedside reading lights that don't disturb your partner. Home office? Proper task lighting that doesn’t create screen glare, plus ambient lighting so the room doesn’t feel like you’re working in a spotlight.

Then we look at your actual space constraints. Old apartments in University Heights and Tremont with low ceilings? Recessed lighting works better than hanging fixtures. High ceilings in Riverdale homes? You need fixtures with enough output to actually reach down. Narrow hallways in Parkchester? Strategic placement matters so you’re not creating shadows. Basements in Morris Park that feel like caves? You need comprehensive lighting design to make them usable.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Rooms that feel dark even with all the lights on – wrong fixtures, wrong placement, wrong bulb temperature
  • Kitchens where you’re cooking in your own shadow – no task lighting over counters and stoves
  • Living rooms with no ambiance control – everything’s either full-blast bright or off, no dimming
  • Bedrooms with terrible reading light – one ceiling fixture trying to do everything
  • Hallways that feel like tunnels – inadequate lighting making spaces feel smaller and creepier

Call Us 646-708-5530

LED Recessed Lighting in The Bronx NY

LED recessed lighting is perfect for Bronx apartments and homes—it provides clean, even illumination without hanging fixtures taking up space or adding visual clutter. Recessed LED lighting works especially well for low ceilings (common in older buildings), kitchens that need task lighting, living rooms seeking a modern look, and basements that need brightening up.

We install LED recessed lights throughout The Bronx. Sometimes it’s straightforward, but often we’re working with old plaster ceilings and wiring from the 1940s. The LED recessed light replacement market is booming—homeowners are upgrading outdated recessed cans that use 75–100 watt bulbs with modern LED retrofits using just 12–15 watts while producing even more light.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Apartments with low ceilings – hanging fixtures make spaces feel cramped, recessed lighting solves this
  • Kitchens with inadequate lighting – one ceiling fixture trying to light the whole room
  • Old recessed cans that are inefficient – burning through electricity and half of them don’t work
  • Uneven lighting creating dark spots – poor fixture placement or wrong beam angles
  • Recessed lights that leak cold air – old fixtures without proper sealing, need IC-rated housings

Landscape Lighting in The Bronx, NY

Landscape lighting makes Bronx properties with yards actually usable and enjoyable after dark. Whether you're in Riverdale with mature trees and gardens, Pelham Bay with landscaped lawns, Throggs Neck with waterfront property, or City Island with unique character—searching for “landscape lighting near me” leads to outdoor transformations you’ll love.

We install professional landscape lighting throughout The Bronx: pathway lighting so you can see where you're walking, up-lighting for trees and architectural features, spotlights for gardens and focal points, and security landscape lights that serve double duty. Proper landscape lighting installation requires low-voltage transformers, burial-rated wire, and durable fixtures built to withstand everything Bronx weather throws at them.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Front walkways that are dangerous at night – can’t see steps, uneven pavement, or obstacles
  • Beautiful landscaping that disappears after sunset – you invested in your property, you should enjoy it
  • Mature trees with no accent lighting – up-lighting creates dramatic effects and showcases your trees
  • Driveways where you can’t see clearly – unloading groceries or parking in the dark
  • Cheap solar stakes that only last one season – real landscape lighting services use reliable hardwired systems

Call Us 646-708-5530

Security Lighting in The Bronx NY

Security lighting deters problems and makes Bronx properties safer. Good outdoor security lighting services include motion-sensor led security lights that illuminate when someone approaches but don't false-trigger constantly or blind neighbors.

We install hardwired security lighting throughout The Bronx—proper security lighting installation service means understanding coverage angles, eliminating blind spots, choosing appropriate brightness levels, and installing everything to code with GFCI protection. From dense neighborhoods in Fordham to houses with space in Riverdale, every property has different security lighting needs.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Driveways and parking areas that are pitch black – Can't see who's there or where you're walking
  • Side yards and alleys between buildings – Common blind spots that make you nervous
  • Back entrances with zero lighting – Where problems typically happen first
  • Motion lights that false-trigger constantly – Poorly adjusted sensors or wrong placement annoying everyone
  • Lights that don't cover the right areas – Random placement that looks like security but isn't effective

Call Us 646-708-5530

Pool Lighting in The Bronx NY

Some Bronx properties have pools—especially in areas like Riverdale, Fieldston, Pelham Bay, and Throggs Neck. Pool lighting is required by electrical code and essential for safety. Can't have people swimming at night in a dark pool—that's dangerous and illegal.

Pool electrical work requires specialized knowledge: low voltage underwater fixtures, GFCI protection on all circuits, proper bonding to prevent electrocution, and permits/inspections. We install pool lighting throughout The Bronx—upgrading old halogen fixtures to LED, repairing lights that stopped working, adding deck lighting around pools.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Underwater pool lights that died years ago – Sealed fixtures eventually fail, need replacement
  • Old halogen pool lights that are dim and expensive – LED upgrades are brighter, last longer, cost less to run
  • No deck lighting around the pool – Safety hazard and limits when you can use the pool
  • GFCI protection that's missing or non-functional – Code violation and serious safety issue
  • Want color-changing LED pool lights – Popular upgrade for entertainment value

Call Us 646-708-5530

Ceiling Fans in The Bronx NY

Bronx summers are brutal—hot, humid, miserable. Running AC constantly gets expensive with Con Ed rates. Ceiling fans help tremendously—they circulate air, make AC more effective, and cost pennies to run compared to air conditioning.

But ceiling fan installation service requires proper support—the electrical box must be rated for ceiling fan weight and dynamic load. Regular light fixture boxes aren't strong enough. We install ceiling fans throughout The Bronx with proper fan-rated boxes, correct downrod lengths for ceiling height, and everything balanced so fans don't wobble.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Electrical boxes that aren't fan-rated – Most common problem, needs replacing before fan installation
  • No wall switch control – Pull chains work but wall switches are more convenient
  • Fans that wobble or make noise – Installation problems or unbalanced blades
  • Ceiling heights that need special mounting – Some Bronx homes have really high or really low ceilings
  • Old fans that barely move air – Time for replacement with modern efficient models

Call Us 646-708-5530

Hot Water Heaters in The Bronx NY

Running out of hot water is miserable. Old hot water heaters are inefficient, take up valuable space in small Bronx apartments and utility rooms, and always fail at the worst possible time, usually winter when you desperately need hot water.

We handle hot water heater installation throughout The Bronx, traditional tank heaters or tankless systems depending on your needs, space, and electrical capacity. Tankless saves space (huge in cramped Bronx utility closets) and provides endless hot water but requires significant electrical work including often panel upgrades.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Old water heater dying and flooding your apartment – They leak catastrophically with little warning
  • Not enough hot water for everyone – Family outgrew the tank size
  • Running out of hot water constantly – Taking showers in shifts, nobody getting enough
  • High electric bills from inefficient heaters – Old tanks constantly reheating water nobody's using
  • No space for traditional tank – Tankless fits in tight spaces

Call Us 646-708-5530

Tesla Home Chargers in The Bronx NY

More Bronx residents are buying electric vehicles. Makes sense—no more hunting for parking near gas stations, lower operating costs, environmental benefits. But charging on regular 120V outlets takes forever (40+ hours for a full charge). Tesla home charger installation cuts that to 6-8 hours.

Installing EV chargers requires dedicated 240V circuits, often panel upgrades, always permits and inspections. We install Tesla home chargers throughout The Bronx, handling all electrical work and coordination with building departments.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Electrical panels without capacity – Many Bronx buildings have inadequate electrical service
  • No dedicated parking spot – Harder to justify charger installation without guaranteed parking
  • Distance from panel to parking area – Need to run circuits through buildings or underground
  • Co-op or condo board approval required – We help with documentation and communication
  • Permit and inspection requirements – We handle all the paperwork and coordination

Power Outages in The Bronx NY

Power outages near me search spike during storms. The Bronx gets nor'easters, thunderstorms, heat waves that overload the grid, trees falling on lines. When power goes out and won't be restored, you need to figure out if it's your problem or Con Ed's problem.

Sometimes it's internal, tripped main breaker, damaged wiring, meter issues. Sometimes it's Con Ed, transformer failure, downed lines, substation problems. We diagnose fast and fix what's on your end. For recurring outages or critical needs (medical equipment, home businesses), backup generators might make sense.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Partial power outages – Some rooms work, others don't, usually circuit or phase issues
  • Main breaker keeps tripping – Overloaded panel or failing main breaker
  • Storm damage to electrical systems – Lightning and surges fry equipment
  • Frequent outages from aging infrastructure – Some Bronx areas get hit constantly
  • Need for backup power – Medical equipment, businesses, or just peace of mind

Call Us 646-708-5530

Outlet Repairs in The Bronx NY

Dead outlets, loose outlets pulling out of walls, outlets that spark, all safety hazards indicating problems. Older Bronx buildings often have outdated outlets: ungrounded two-prong designs from the '50s and '60s, outlets with reversed polarity, or just worn-out outlets from decades of use.

We repair and replace outlets throughout The Bronx, bringing everything up to current electrical code, important for safety and if you're selling (home inspectors flag this constantly).

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Outlets that don't work or work intermittently – Loose wiring, failed outlets, or tripped G

Call Us 646-708-5530

GFCI Outlets in The Bronx NY

GFCI outlets (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters) prevent electrocution by cutting power in milliseconds when they detect ground faults. Required by code anywhere water is present—bathrooms, kitchens, basements, outdoor areas—anywhere moisture exists.

Many older Bronx buildings lack proper GFCI protection because they were built before modern code. That's a code violation, a safety hazard, and something inspectors flag. We install GFCI outlets regularly throughout The Bronx.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • No GFCI in bathrooms or kitchens – Basic code requirement often missing in older buildings
  • GFCI outlets that trip constantly – Either actual ground fault (bad) or failing GFCI (annoying)
  • Outdoor outlets without weatherproof GFCI covers – Water gets in, shorts out, dangerous
  • Basement outlets near water – Laundry areas, utility sinks, sump pumps all need GFCI
  • Old GFCIs that stopped working – They wear out after 10-15 years, test buttons fail

Call Us 646-708-5530

Electrical Troubleshooting in The Bronx NY

Electrical problems are frustrating mysteries. Lights flickering randomly. Buzzing switches. Outlets that work sometimes. Breakers tripping for no obvious reason. Weird humming from the panel. These need proper electrical troubleshooting with diagnostic tools, not guessing.

We use professional equipment, voltage testers, circuit analyzers, and thermal imaging to find hot spots. Often the problem's not where you think. That flickering light on the third floor might be caused by a loose neutral connection in the basement panel.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Flickering lights throughout the building – Could be loose neutral, utility issue, or service problems
  • Breakers that trip randomly – Overload, short circuit, ground fault, or bad breaker
  • Buzzing or humming from outlets or panel – Loose connections heating up, sometimes transformer issues
  • Intermittent problems that come and go – Hardest to diagnose but we find them eventually
  • Tingling from appliances or fixtures – Grounding problem, dangerous, immediate attention needed

Call Us 646-708-5530

Panel Upgrades in The Bronx NY

Many Bronx buildings still have 60-amp or 100-amp electrical service installed 40-60 years ago. That's insufficient for modern living, window AC units, modern appliances, computers, TVs, chargers for everything, microwave, washer/dryer.

Panel upgrades require permits, inspections, and sometimes Con Ed coordination for service upgrades. We handle the complete process. The electrical panel upgrades include removing old panels (especially dangerous Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels), installing new 100-200 amp panels, and passing all inspections.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Breakers trip constantly – Panel's overloaded, not enough capacity for modern loads
  • Old fuse boxes still using screw-in fuses – Time to upgrade to modern breaker panels
  • Can't add circuits for AC or appliances – No space or capacity in existing panel
  • Insurance requiring panel upgrades – Some won't insure buildings with certain old panels
  • Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels – Known fire hazards that should be replaced immediately

Call Us 646-708-5530

Circuit Breaker Replacements in The Bronx NY

Circuit breakers protect wiring by shutting off when circuits overload or short. But breakers wear out, especially ones that trip frequently. Bad breakers might not trip when they should (fire hazard) or trip with normal loads (annoying and wasteful).

We replace circuit breakers throughout The Bronx—matching correct amperage and type to specific panels and circuits. Sometimes breakers are fine but circuits are overloaded and need upgrading.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Breakers that won't stay on – Even with nothing plugged in, breaker has failed
  • Breakers that won't trip – Dangerous, fire hazard, needs immediate replacement
  • Breakers hot to the touch – Serious overload or failing breaker connection
  • AFCI breakers false tripping – Sometimes legitimate arc faults, sometimes interference
  • Wrong breakers installed – Can't just use whatever fits, needs proper compatible breaker

Call Us 646-708-5530

Aluminum Wiring Replacement in The Bronx NY

Bronx buildings built in the '60s and '70s, especially those that went up during rapid development, often have aluminum wiring. Legal when installed, it is now recognized as a fire hazard. Aluminum expands and contracts more than copper, which causes connections to loosen, sparking, and overheating.

Insurance companies charge higher premiums for aluminum wiring or refuse coverage. We handle aluminum wiring replacement throughout The Bronx: complete rewiring (expensive but permanent) or professional pigtailing using COPALUM connectors (less expensive, nearly as effective).

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Insurance charging extra or denying coverage – Aluminum wiring is a documented fire hazard
  • Flickering lights and warm outlets – Warning signs of loose aluminum connections
  • Burning smell from outlets or switches – Overheating connections, very dangerous, needs immediate attention
  • Home inspection failures – Buyers walk away or demand huge price reductions
  • Can't safely add circuits – Aluminum requires special procedures and training

Call Us 646-708-5530

Jacuzzi Spa Circuits in The Bronx NY

Installing a hot tub or jacuzzi? It requires a dedicated electrical connection—240V circuit, GFCI protection, proper wire sizing, and a weatherproof disconnect within sight of the spa. Jacuzzi spa circuits installation must meet strict National Electrical Code requirements.

We install spa circuits throughout The Bronx (mostly in houses with outdoor space in Riverdale, Pelham Bay, Throggs Neck, and City Island). Proper wire sizing is critical—undersized wire trips breakers or overheats. GFCI protection is mandatory and potentially life-saving.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • No dedicated circuit for spa – Can't run it on existing circuits, needs its own
  • Panel doesn't have capacity – Spas draw 30-50 amps, many panels can't handle it
  • Long distance from panel to spa – Requires proper sizing to prevent voltage drop
  • No weatherproof disconnect – Code requires an accessible disconnect within sight of spa
  • Permits and inspections required – We handle all the paperwork

Call Us 646-708-5530

TV Wall Mounts in The Bronx NY

Mounting TVs is popular, saves floor space, looks cleaner, and gets the TV at the proper viewing height. But TV wall mount installation in Bronx buildings can be tricky. Old plaster walls that crack, brick walls in certain buildings, and finding studs in walls built before standardized spacing all add challenges.

We mount TVs throughout The Bronx, whether simple fixed mounts or articulating mounts that tilt and swing. Our service includes cable management (running wires through walls) and installing outlets behind TVs when needed (running extension cords in walls is illegal and a fire hazard).

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Old plaster or brick walls – Require different anchors and techniques than drywall
  • Can't find studs where TV needs to go – Older buildings don't have standard stud spacing
  • Cable management with multiple devices – Soundbar, cable box, game console, streaming devices, everything has cables
  • No outlet behind TV location – Requires new outlet installation, cords cannot be run inside walls
  • Heavy large TVs – 75"+ screens need strong mounting support

Call Us 646-708-5530

Low Voltage Lighting in The Bronx NY

Low voltage lighting (12V or 24V systems) is perfect for accent lighting, under-cabinet lighting, closet lighting, and landscape lighting. It’s safer than line voltage, more energy-efficient, and allows flexible placement options.

We install low voltage lighting throughout The Bronx—LED strips under kitchen cabinets, closet lighting systems, pathway lighting outdoors, and accent lighting for artwork and architectural features. Proper installation requires the right transformer sizing, correct wire gauge, and thoughtful design.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Under-cabinet lights that flicker or dim – Often caused by undersized transformer or wrong wire gauge
  • Closets with no lighting – Tired of getting dressed in the dark
  • Display shelves needing accent lighting – Perfect for highlighting collections or architectural details
  • Outdoor pathway lighting – Requires burial-rated wire and weatherproof transformers
  • Integration with dimmers and smart controls – Ensuring low voltage lighting works with modern systems

Call Us 646-708-5530

Comprehensive Electrical Safety Inspections in The Bronx NY

When's the last time someone inspected your building's electrical system? If you can't remember, or your Bronx building is 25+ years old, it's time to get it inspected. Electrical safety inspections identify hazards before they cause fires, injuries, or expensive failures—especially important in The Bronx's older housing stock.

We provide thorough electrical safety inspections for homeowners, landlords, buyers, and sellers throughout The Bronx. You receive detailed written reports with photographs and prioritized recommendations.

Common Issues We Handle:

  • Pre-purchase inspections for buyers – Know what electrical problems exist before buying
  • Pre-sale inspections for sellers – Find and fix issues before buyer inspections
  • Insurance company required inspections – Some require inspections for older buildings
  • Landlord compliance inspections – Ensure rental units meet electrical code
  • Post-renovation inspections – Verify contractor work was done correctly and safely

Client Review

Our apartment in Fordham had terrible lighting—one fixture per room and we couldn't see anything at night. Ellis Speed Electric installed LED recessed lighting in our kitchen and living room plus under-cabinet lights. The difference is incredible, we can actually see what we're doing, and our Con Ed bill dropped $35 a month. They were professional, fast, and cleaned up perfectly.
Michael R.
We needed landscape lighting for our Riverdale home and they designed a beautiful system that highlights our trees and garden. Plus they added security lighting for the driveway and side yard. The whole property looks amazing at night and we feel much safer. Worth every penny.
Jennifer L.
Used them for smart lighting installation throughout our Co-op City apartment. Now we control everything from our phones, lights turn on automatically when we get home, and we can set schedules so the apartment looks occupied when we're away. They made the whole system easy to use and integrated everything with our Alexa. Finally found electricians who know what they're doing with smart home stuff.

FAQs

What People Actually Want to Know About Lighting Solutions

Depends on scope. Simple stuff like replacing fixtures or installing under-cabinet LED strips—yeah, usually same day if you call early at 646-708-5530. Comprehensive lighting solutions requiring design, multiple fixtures, or significant electrical work take longer—we’ll schedule within a few days typically. Emergency lighting repairs (everything’s dark and you need help now) we prioritize and get to you fast.

Depends completely on what you need. Simple LED upgrades (swapping old fixtures for new LED ones) might be $300-800 depending on the number of fixtures. Under-cabinet LED lighting for kitchens typically $400-900. Comprehensive custom lighting solutions for whole rooms or homes obviously cost more—could be $2,000-10,000+ depending on scope. Smart lighting solutions cost varies based on number of switches, integration complexity, and whether you need new wiring. We provide clear estimates before starting—call 646-708-5530 and describe what you’re trying to accomplish, we’ll give you realistic pricing.

Absolutely. Not a little—significantly. LEDs use about 85-90% less electricity than old incandescent bulbs and 50-75% less than fluorescent. If you’re paying $150/month for electricity and 30% of that is lighting (typical), switching to LED could save you $40-50/month. That’s $500-600/year. Over the 20+ year life of LEDs, that’s $10,000+ in savings. Math works out—led lighting solutions pay for themselves quickly then save money forever.

Yeah, that’s literally what we do all day. Old Bronx apartments with outdated lighting—we transform them. Remove old fixtures, install recessed LED lighting for a clean modern look, add under-cabinet lighting in kitchens, install dimmers for ambiance control, upgrade to smart lighting if you want. The lighting solutions service we provide turns dark, dated spaces into bright, modern, comfortable homes. Makes a huge difference in how your apartment feels.

Yeah, all the time. Lots of Co-op City, Parkchester, and other co-op/condo residents call us. We’re familiar with building requirements—often they need insurance certificates, advance notice, specific work hours, floor protection, cleanup standards. We provide whatever documentation buildings need and work within their rules. We’re licensed, insured, and professional—satisfies most building management requirements.

Absolutely. We install smart lighting solutions that work with Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, or standalone systems. Control lights from phone, voice commands, schedules, automation, scenes—whatever you want. We make sure everything actually works together (lots of DIY smart home stuff doesn’t integrate properly). The smart lighting solutions we design are user-friendly—not complicated systems nobody in the house can figure out.
