Charlottesville Lighting Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of recessed lighting?
Recessed lighting—also called can lights or downlights—is popular for its sleek, low-profile design and ability to provide even, ambient illumination without taking up visual space. It works well in kitchens, living rooms, bathrooms, hallways, and even outdoor soffits. These fixtures are especially ideal for rooms with low ceilings or where you want to highlight artwork, shelving, or architectural features.
When installed correctly, recessed lights can make a room feel larger, brighter, and more modern. That’s why homeowners trust Just Better Home Services for recessed lighting that’s not only beautiful, but also safe, efficient, and tailored to your home’s design. We’ll help you plan the right layout and fixture type for your space—and handle all the electrical work from start to finish.
Can recessed lighting be added to an existing ceiling?
Yes, recessed lighting can absolutely be added to an existing ceiling—even if it wasn’t included in your home’s original build. It typically involves cutting into the ceiling, running new wiring, and installing junction boxes. The process can vary based on ceiling type, attic access, and insulation.
That’s why recessed lighting installation is best left to professionals. At Just Better Home Services, we specialize in retrofitting recessed lighting into finished ceilings with minimal mess. Our team will evaluate your current wiring, determine the best layout, and install everything safely and up to code—so you get a clean look with no surprises.
Are LED recessed lights worth it?
Definitely. LED recessed lights are energy-efficient, long-lasting, and produce less heat than traditional bulbs, which makes them ideal for enclosed ceiling spaces. They’re available in a wide range of color temperatures and dimming options, giving you full control over the mood and function of your space.
At Just Better Home Services, we help homeowners make smart upgrades that pay off in comfort and savings. We install LED-compatible recessed lighting systems that offer both modern design and reduced utility bills. Whether you’re replacing outdated fixtures or starting fresh, we’ll guide you through the best options for your home.
