Electrical SERVICES

Occasional flickering when a large appliance kicks on (like an HVAC compressor) is usually normal and caused by a brief voltage dip. However, persistent flickering, flickering in multiple rooms, or flickering accompanied by buzzing or warm switches could indicate loose wiring, an overloaded circuit, or a failing breaker.

Don't ignore persistent flickering—loose connections generate heat and are a leading cause of electrical fires. Above + Beyond's licensed electricians can pinpoint the source quickly using professional diagnostic tools. Common fixes include tightening connections, replacing a faulty switch or dimmer, or upgrading an overloaded circuit.

Yes—Above + Beyond designs and installs professional landscape lighting systems that transform your property after dark. We use low-voltage LED fixtures for path lighting, garden accent lighting, tree uplighting, and architectural wash lighting. Low-voltage systems are safe, energy-efficient, and easy to expand later.

Our licensed electricians install a weatherproof transformer, run direct-burial cable, and position each fixture for maximum visual impact. We also set up timers or photocell controls so your landscape lights operate automatically. Professional landscape lighting dramatically increases curb appeal and can add real value to your property.

Smart lighting lets you control every light in your home from your phone, voice assistant, or automated schedules. Benefits include hands-free operation, customizable scenes for different activities, energy savings through automated schedules, and the ability to control lights remotely—great for security while traveling.

Above + Beyond installs smart switches, dimmers, and bulbs compatible with popular platforms like Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Apple HomeKit. Unlike plug-in smart bulbs, hardwired smart switches work with any bulb type and don't rely on Wi-Fi for basic on/off function. Our electricians ensure reliable wiring and proper neutral connections.

Absolutely. Recessed (can) lighting is one of our most popular installations. We can add recessed lights to virtually any room—kitchens, living rooms, hallways, and bathrooms. Our electricians handle the ceiling cuts, wiring, insulation-rated housings, and dimmer switch installation for a clean, finished look.

We recommend LED-rated recessed housings with integrated LED modules for the best efficiency and longevity. Above + Beyond helps you plan fixture spacing and light temperature (warm vs. cool white) to achieve the ambiance you want. All installations meet current electrical code and are backed by our 1-year labor warranty.

Above + Beyond installs a full range of outdoor lighting including landscape path lights, uplighting for trees and architectural features, security floodlights with motion sensors, deck and patio lighting, post lights, and LED soffit lighting. We use weather-rated fixtures and low-voltage systems for safety and efficiency.

Good outdoor lighting enhances curb appeal, improves safety on walkways and stairs, and deters intruders. Our licensed electricians design layouts that balance aesthetics with function, using timers and photocells for automatic operation. We also install dedicated outdoor circuits to prevent overloading interior wiring.

LED upgrade costs vary based on the number of fixtures, fixture types, and whether you're replacing existing fixtures or adding new ones. Swapping out recessed cans with LED retrofits is one of the most cost-effective upgrades, while whole-home LED conversions involve a larger investment.

The savings add up quickly—LED bulbs use up to 75% less energy and last 25 times longer than incandescent bulbs. Above + Beyond provides upfront pricing for every lighting project and can help you prioritize upgrades that deliver the biggest energy savings first. Financing is available for larger projects.

A typical standby generator installation takes 1–2 days. Day one usually covers the concrete pad, generator placement, automatic transfer switch installation, and electrical connections. Day two (if needed) handles the gas line connection, final testing, and homeowner walk-through.

Permitting and utility coordination may add lead time before the physical installation begins—Above + Beyond manages all permits and inspections for you. After installation, we walk you through the system's operation, maintenance schedule, and warranty coverage so you're fully confident in your investment.

A standby generator monitors your utility power 24/7 through an automatic transfer switch (ATS). When the ATS detects a power loss, the generator starts within seconds and takes over your home's electrical supply—no manual intervention, no extension cords, no interruption to critical systems.

When utility power returns, the ATS switches your home back to the grid and the generator shuts down and returns to standby mode. This seamless operation protects refrigerated food, medical equipment, sump pumps, security systems, and HVAC comfort. Above + Beyond installs the full system for worry-free protection.

Manufacturers recommend professional maintenance every 6–12 months, similar to a car's oil-change schedule. Service includes an oil and filter change, spark plug inspection, air filter replacement, battery test, coolant check (for liquid-cooled units), and a full operational test under load.

Above + Beyond offers generator maintenance plans through Saige's Loyalty Club, so you never miss a service interval. Regular maintenance keeps your generator ready to perform when you need it most and helps preserve the manufacturer's warranty. We'll also update the unit's firmware if applicable.

Standby generators typically run on natural gas or liquid propane (LP). Natural gas is convenient if your home already has a gas line—it provides unlimited fuel without tank refills. Propane requires a storage tank but works well for homes without gas service and stores indefinitely.

Some dual-fuel generators can run on either source, providing extra flexibility. Above + Beyond helps you choose the best fuel option based on your existing utilities, budget, and preferences. We handle all gas line connections and coordinate with fuel providers as part of the installation process.
