If you are building a new home, adding on to your home, or even if you simply want to add light fixtures to some rooms in the house, Larsen-Hoffman has the electrical contracting solutions you need.  Whether you want to install a particularly elegant chandelier in your dining room, add wattage to your front hallway, or add dimmer switches to some of your light switches, Larsen-Hoffman has the interior lighting experience you look for in an electrical contractor.

Before contacting contractors, you should write down specifically what you want to accomplish in your project.  Where will these lights be in relation to furniture, windows, and doorways?  The last thing you want is to be fumbling about in the dark for a light switch AFTER the job is done.  Think about how the new light fixtures will affect the lighting of your house after the sun goes down and where you spend most of the time in the room.  How many switches do you want centralized in the room?  Electrical supply companies can make light switches for nearly any size, but does it really make sense to place the light switch controlling the closet light right next to the bedroom light at the doorway?  Local codes may also dictate where light switches are located.

Another thing to consider is what the lighting will be used for.  If you are lighting a kitchen, it would probably be wise to install higher wattage so as to avoid kitchen accidents.  You can always add a dimmer switch for better control of your lighting.  Bedroom lighting is more often for more ambient lighting needed for reading and getting dressed so lower wattage will be more cost effective.  If a particular light or electrical outlet will not be in everyday use, you may consider moving it to a more out of the way place in the room where it will be less aesthetically intrusive.

If you are still unsure about what you are specifically interested, Larsen-Hoffman is happy to make suggestions and offer advice.  Feel free to gather as much information as possible and ask questions when you have them.  Remember, YOU are the customer.  Your architect, interior decorator, and contractor can make all the suggestions they like, but you are the one who will ultimately be living in the home.  Give Larsen-Hoffman a call at (650) 424-0456 for an estimate.
