Answers to Common Questions
View All FAQsWhat Is the Best Way to Upgrade Kitchen Lighting Fixtures?

In most kitchens, that means recessed or can lights for general light, under-cabinet lighting for counters, and pendants over islands or sinks. Add dimmers and updated switches for control.

You can, but adding a ceiling light where no wiring exists is a new wiring project that most homeowners should leave to a licensed electrician. It may require running cable through walls or ceilings, installing a rated ceiling box and switch, and confirming panel capacity. A.B. May installs fixtures, switches, dimmers, and performs wiring and panel updates, with same-day service and upfront pricing. We also offer service plans and warranties for ongoing protection. Serving homes across Kansas City and Overland Park.
- Decide fixture location and switch path.
- Verify attic or basement access for cable runs.
- Use a ceiling box rated for the fixture weight.

Yes. You can replace most screw-in bulbs with LED bulbs yourself if the base and voltage match. For hardwired fixtures, recessed lights, under-cabinet, outdoor lighting, or any circuit with a dimmer, use a licensed electrician to avoid flicker or wiring hazards. Use LED-rated dimmers for LEDs. Always switch off the breaker and confirm power is off. In Kansas City homes, A.B. May installs fixtures, dimmers, and outdoor systems and can add surge protection or panel updates when needed.
