How much does it cost to install lighting in a residential home?

At Damyans Electric Inc., residential lighting costs commonly run $95–$155 to replace an existing ceiling light (under 12 ft) and $120–$375 per recessed light, depending on access and any drywall work. The biggest cost driver is whether it’s a straight fixture swap or a new/modified wiring setup with added controls, which takes more labor and careful tie‑in to the system. Exterior-rated fixtures, smart dimmers, and LED upgrades can also influence parts and time on site. We regularly install and upgrade lighting across the Twin Cities, and we tailor recommendations for both older homes and newer construction. We provide upfront pricing, and financing is available.

Final pricing is confirmed after an on-site assessment of wiring, access, and controls. <br/> Updated: 2026-05-17 <br/> Need help in Coon Rapids, MN? Call (952) 500-8732 or book online. Fantastic experience with Damyans from start to finish. — Sam L.
