What we install
Our licensed technicians handle a wide range of indoor and outdoor lighting projects for Boise homeowners:
- Recessed and can lighting throughout living spaces, kitchens, and hallways
- Ceiling fan and light fixture replacements
- Under-cabinet and accent lighting
- Bathroom vanity and exhaust-fan-with-light combos
- Porch, garage, and driveway fixture installation
- Motion-sensor and security lighting for your yard and entry points
- Landscape and pathway lighting wired to a dedicated circuit
- Smart lighting controls and dimmer switch upgrades
If it involves mounting, wiring, or connecting a light fixture to your home's electrical system, this is our work — and we stand behind every part of it.
Why Boise homeowners call us
We hear the same handful of situations from neighbors across Boise:
- A kitchen remodel is done, but the old can lights look dingy and dim next to new cabinets
- A garage or backyard has zero exterior lighting, and the family feels uneasy after dark
- A flickering or dead fixture keeps resetting — and the homeowner doesn't want to risk a DIY wiring mistake
- An older home has outdated wiring that can't safely support modern fixtures without a licensed hand involved
- Someone wants to add curb appeal with tasteful pathway or porch lighting before listing the house
These aren't emergencies, but they matter. The right lighting makes your home more comfortable, more secure, and more valuable — and it's worth doing correctly.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit for a lighting installation in Boise?
It depends on the scope of the work. Simple fixture swaps in existing boxes typically don't require a permit, but adding new circuits or making significant wiring changes often does. Your licensed American Electrical Services electrician will let you know what's required for your specific project before work begins.
How soon can you get to my Boise home for a lighting installation?
We offer same-day scheduling when possible, so call us at (208) 449-7492 early in the day for the best chance of a same-day visit. We'll always give you an honest estimate of our earliest available time so you can plan accordingly.
Will I know the cost before your electrician starts working?
Yes — always. We provide a flat-rate quote in writing before any work begins. That price is the price you pay, so there are no hourly surprises or add-on charges waiting for you at the end of the job.
