A typical kitchen with 6 recessed lights runs $800–$1,500 total. Costs are lower when there's attic access above the installation area."},{"question":"How many recessed lights do I need?","answer":"A general rule is one recessed light per 4–6 square feet of ceiling space in kitchens, or one per 6–8 square feet in living areas. A 12x12 kitchen typically needs 6 lights, while a 15x20 living room needs 6–8. We provide a lighting plan during our estimate."},{"question":"Can you install lights without attic access?","answer":"Yes. When there's no attic access, we use remodel (retrofit) housings that install from below through a small ceiling hole. It takes slightly longer per light but doesn't require accessing the space above. The finish quality is identical."},{"question":"Do LED recessed lights save money?","answer":"LED recessed lights use 75% less energy than traditional incandescent cans and last 25,000–50,000 hours (15–25 years of typical use). For a kitchen with 6 lights running 5 hours daily, LEDs save approximately $60–$80/year on your SMUD or PG&E bill."}],"related_services":[{"slug":"panel-upgrade","name":"Electrical Panel Upgrade","price_range":"$1,800–$4,500"},{"slug":"ev-charger-installation","name":"EV Charger Installation","price_range":"$500–$2,500"},{"slug":"electrical-rewiring","name":"Whole-House Rewiring","price_range":"$8,000–$25,000"},{"slug":"outlet-switch-repair","name":"Outlet & Switch Repair","price_range":"$100–$350"},{"slug":"ceiling-fan-installation","name":"Ceiling Fan Installation","price_range":"$150–$400"}]}}
