Recessed Light Replacement in Matthews, NC
On August 13, 2026, our Charlotte branch electrician, Mark Alaev, visited homeowner Jack Hess in Matthews to diagnose a non-working recessed (can) light. After confirming the fixture itself had failed, we provided clear options and completed a safe recessed light replacement during the same visit, restoring bright, even lighting to the space.
This job is part of our Lighting & Ceiling Fans services and aligns with our Lighting Installation expertise across the Matthews area.
What We Did
- Performed a full troubleshooting sequence to confirm the recessed fixture—not the lamp—had failed.
- Shut off power, verified a safe work area, and removed the old can/trim components.
- Installed a compatible recessed light fixture with solid, code-compliant terminations.
- Tested operation at the switch, verified proper illumination, and cleaned the work area.
Because the issue was correctly diagnosed on site, we were able to replace the fixture immediately, eliminating the hassle of a return trip and getting the room safely lit again.
Clear, Upfront Pricing
- Service Call Charge: Our standard dispatch fee was credited toward the repair once the work moved forward.
- On‑Site Approval Savings: Jack approved the estimate during the appointment, and we applied the $49 service call refund as noted in our on-site discount policy.
- Same‑Visit Completion: The recessed light replacement was completed during the initial visit for maximum convenience.
We believe in straightforward options so you can choose what fits your home, timeline, and budget—without surprises.
