Why Stoney Creek Homes Need Professional Lighting Installation
Stoney Creek's diverse housing stock presents unique lighting challenges requiring specialized expertise and electrical upgrades.
Post-War Bungalows
Old Stoney Creek and Battlefield feature charming 1950s–1960s brick bungalows with outdated 60-amp panels, cloth-wrapped wiring, and ungrounded outlets requiring panel upgrades for modern lighting loads and insurance compliance.
Mountain Subdivisions
Stoney Creek Mountain, Fruitland, Winona, and Paramount Drive showcase 1970s–1980s homes with aluminum wiring, 100-amp fuse boxes, and overloaded circuits from finished basements requiring professional remediation for safe lighting installation.
New Developments
Heritage Green, Lakeland, Confederation Park, and newer Felker builds demand future-ready 200-amp service, dedicated circuits for smart lighting, EV chargers, heat pumps, and home automation requiring careful capacity planning.
⚠️ Need Lighting Installation for Insurance Approval?
Many Stoney Creek homeowners discover their aluminum wiring or outdated electrical systems prevent insurance renewal. We provide ESA-certified lighting installations with complete documentation that satisfies insurer requirements and City of Hamilton building permits for older homes requiring upgrades.

Call (905) 299-0004Signs You Need Professional Lighting Installation
When to call a licensed electrician for your Stoney Creek home's lighting needs.
Dark, Poorly Lit Rooms
Your Stoney Creek home has single ceiling fixtures leaving rooms shadowy and uninviting. Modern pot light installations with proper spacing transform both functionality and ambiance throughout your living spaces.
Flickering or Dimming Lights
Lights flicker when appliances turn on indicating overloaded circuits or loose connections. This requires immediate professional assessment and potential panel upgrade for safe lighting operation.
Basement Finishing or Renovation
Planning to finish your Mountain home basement? Proper lighting design comes first—before drywall and finishes. We coordinate with contractors for seamless installations that meet egress code requirements.
Outdated Fixtures & No Dimmers
Original 1970s fixtures or basic lights with no dimming control don't provide the ambiance modern families expect. LED pot lights with smart dimmers offer energy savings and versatility.
Breakers Trip When Adding Lights
Your panel can't support additional lighting without tripping breakers. Older Stoney Creek homes with 60-100 amp service need professional assessment and potential panel upgrade for modern loads.
Desire for Smart Lighting Control
You want voice control, automated schedules, and lighting scenes but have standard switches. We install Lutron, Philips Hue, and integrated smart lighting systems for whole-home convenience.
High Energy Bills from Old Bulbs
Incandescent and halogen bulbs waste electricity generating heat instead of light. LED pot light retrofits cut lighting energy use by 75% while providing better quality illumination.
Aluminum Wiring Safety Concerns
Your 1970s Stoney Creek home has aluminum wiring that poses fire risks. Professional remediation and circuit upgrades are essential before installing new lighting fixtures safely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about lighting installation in Stoney Creek homes.
Pot light installation typically costs $150-$250 per light depending on ceiling type, accessibility, and wiring requirements. Mountain homes with finished basements and limited attic access are at the higher end. Pendant installations range from $200-$500 depending on complexity. Panel upgrades (often needed in older Stoney Creek homes) add $2,500-$4,500. We provide detailed quotes after assessing your specific property.
Yes—we specialize in Stoney Creek Mountain homes with aluminum wiring from the 1970s-80s. We use proper aluminum-rated connections, install CO/ALR devices, and apply anti-oxidant paste to prevent overheating. Many installations also require panel upgrades to safely support additional lighting circuits. All work meets ESA requirements for aluminum wiring safety.
Simple fixture replacements don't require permits. Adding new circuits, running new wiring, or installing multiple pot lights typically requires an ESA permit. Panel upgrades always require permits and City of Hamilton building approvals. We handle all permit applications, ESA inspections, and documentation as part of our service—included in your quote with no extra fees.
A general guideline is one pot light per 20-25 square feet for ambient lighting. A 300 sq ft living room needs 12-15 lights; a 200 sq ft kitchen needs 8-10 lights plus task lighting. Stoney Creek homes with 8-foot ceilings (common on Mountain) may need different spacing than vaulted ceilings. We create custom layouts during consultation to ensure proper illumination.
Many Stoney Creek homes have 60-100 amp panels that may lack capacity for extensive lighting additions, especially if you have finished basements, heat pumps, or plan to add EV chargers. During assessment, we calculate electrical load and determine if your panel can support new circuits. LED pot lights use minimal power (8-12 watts each), but panel upgrades are often recommended for safety and future capacity.
Yes—we regularly install pot lights in finished basement ceilings with no attic access using remodel-style housings. We cut precise holes, fish wiring between joists, and use IC-rated fixtures suitable for contact with insulation. Stoney Creek Mountain homes with finished basements require proper egress lighting for bedrooms and code-compliant electrical work. All installations meet Hamilton building code requirements.
Simple pendant or chandelier installations take 2-3 hours. Installing 8-10 pot lights in one room typically takes a full day. Larger projects involving multiple rooms, panel upgrades, or aluminum wiring remediation may take 2-4 days depending on scope. We provide accurate timelines with your quote and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your Stoney Creek home.
We install all major smart lighting systems including Lutron Caseta, Philips Hue, Leviton, and standard WiFi-enabled dimmers. We can integrate lighting control with home automation systems, voice assistants (Alexa, Google Home, Siri), and programmable scenes for entertaining, security, and daily routines. We recommend systems based on your specific needs and budget for your Stoney Creek home.
What Stoney Creek Homeowners Say
Real reviews from lighting installation projects we've completed.
"We hired Kolji Bros to install pot lights throughout our 1978 Mountain home during our renovation. They upgraded our old fuse panel to a 200-amp breaker panel, properly handled the aluminum wiring connections, and installed 24 LED pot lights on the main floor and basement. The lighting design they created makes our dark rooms feel bright and modern. They were professional, on-time, and cleaned up thoroughly every day. Highly recommend for older Stoney Creek homes."
"Kolji Bros installed lighting throughout our new Heritage Green home's open-concept kitchen and living area. They installed pot lights, three gorgeous pendant lights over our island, and under-cabinet lighting with smart Lutron dimmers we can control from our phones. They coordinated perfectly with our contractor and the quality of work is exceptional. The lighting makes our space look magazine-worthy. Great experience from quote to completion."
