When planning your home’s lighting, whether for new construction or a remodeling project, there’s more to it than pulling wire and stringing light bulbs, or at least there is if you want to get the most out of your lighting. As the incandescent light bulb is gradually phased out, your primary lighting choices are halogen, CFL, and LED, each with its own advantages and disadvantages relating to cost, longevity and durability.

Beyond that, the lighting choices you make in your home provide more than light to see by. Lighting can be used to set a mood, provide atmosphere and ambiance, or to draw the eye by highlighting certain features or areas. For outside areas as well as inside, you want to make sure you get the proper light placement with appropriate intensity, and options to incorporate remote control, timers, light sensors, and dimmers.

At Gary Houston Electric Company, we want you to get the most out of your lighting, inside and out. To accomplish that we give consideration to a number of factors: aesthetics, integration with other systems, light levels suitable to appropriate applications and locations, uniformity, use of existing light, total operating cost, and more.

Whether it’s residential lighting or commercial lighting you want to get the most from, the professionals at GHEC have more than 35 years of experience and innovation we can put to work for you. We make sure, through proper design and installation, that your lighting gives you maximum energy efficiency while providing superior comfort for you and your family as it m the most of the spaces where you live, work and play.
