Types of Lighting We Install
Jimco Electric handles a full range of home lighting projects. We focus on safe wiring, clean installation, and results that fit the layout of your home.
Indoor Light Fixture and Ceiling Fan Installations
We install indoor lighting from flush mounts to chandeliers and pendant lights, including light fixture installation for replacements and new locations. Fixtures are mounted securely, wiring is checked for safety, and the work area is left clean. We also install ceiling fans, including models with integrated lighting, so you get proper support, balanced operation, and code-compliant wiring.
Recessed, Under-Cabinet, and Smart Lighting
We install recessed can lighting for even coverage and a clean look. For kitchens, we install under-cabinet lighting to improve visibility at counters and prep areas.
We also install smart switches, dimmers, and app-based controls, and we can handle outlet repairs & installation if you need safer connections for lamps, kitchen appliances, or plug-in lighting.
LED Upgrades, Outdoor, and Landscape Lighting
We upgrade fixtures to LED and handle rewiring when needed, including full LED lighting installation for better efficiency and longer-lasting performance.
For outdoor areas, we install wall lights, post fixtures, motion lights, and landscape lighting. Outdoor work includes weather-rated materials and proper protection so lighting stays reliable through seasonal changes.

Lighting Installation Considerations
Good lighting starts with a plan that supports safety, comfort, and long-term reliability. We look at how your home is wired today and what’s needed to support the lighting you want, and we may recommend home rewiring if the wiring is outdated or no longer safe.
Site Assessment and Planning
We start with a walkthrough to review the layout, existing wiring, and how you use each space, and we’ll advise on panel upgrades if your lighting plan requires added capacity. Fixture placement is planned to reduce glare, improve coverage, and support safe movement through hallways, stairs, patios, and walkways. For outdoor lighting, we plan around slopes and pathways to reduce trip risks and avoid lighting spill into neighboring yards.
Electrical Safety and Code Compliance
Safety comes first. We isolate power before work begins, use insulated tools, and install connections that meet current Illinois code. For outdoor and wet-area locations, we use the required protection, including GFCI safeguards where needed, and verify grounding so the system is safer and more stable.
Before we wrap up, we test the full setup to confirm everything works correctly, and if we find loose connections or heat damage, we can help with electrical panel repair.
Choosing Durable Fixtures for Aurora’s Climate
Aurora’s winters and wet seasons make weather protection important for outdoor lighting. We recommend fixtures built for outdoor conditions and ensure connections are sealed and rated for moisture exposure. LED fixtures are a common choice because they last longer and reduce maintenance.
Post-Installation Support and Maintenance
After installation, we test switches, dimmers, motion sensors, and smart controls and make adjustments so everything works the way it should. You receive warranty details and clear documentation. If you want seasonal checks or future upgrades, our team can support the system over time, including surge protection & repair to help protect lighting circuits and smart controls.
