How It Works

From First Call to Finished Install

Here is what to expect when you book under cabinet lighting installation with King Electric and Solar.

01Step 1

Talk Through Your Space

You tell us what you have in mind. We ask about your cabinet layout, existing wiring, and whether you want dimming capability. That conversation shapes the whole job.

02Step 2

On-Site Assessment

An electrician visits your home, checks the cabinet area, reviews your panel capacity, and confirms what the installation will involve before any work begins.

03Step 3

Wiring and Fixture Install

We run the wiring cleanly, connect to an appropriate circuit, mount the fixtures, and test everything before we pack up. No exposed wires, no loose connections.

04Step 4

Final Walkthrough

We show you how the lights operate, confirm the dimmer or switch functions correctly, and make sure the finished install looks the way you expected.

Frequently asked

Common Questions About Under Cabinet Lighting

Find clear answers about service options, scheduling, preparation, and what to expect before you request an estimate.

Q1

Do under cabinet lights need to be hardwired?

Not always, but hardwired installations look cleaner and are more reliable long term. Plug-in options exist, but they leave cords visible. We typically recommend hardwiring when a dedicated power source can be run cleanly.

Q2

Can I add a dimmer to my under cabinet lights?

Yes, in most cases. Dimmer compatibility depends on the fixture type, particularly with LED strips. We check compatibility during the assessment and wire the dimmer switch correctly so it functions without flickering.

Q3

How long does a typical installation take?

Most residential under cabinet lighting installs take a few hours. Larger kitchens or jobs that require new circuit work may take longer. We give you a realistic time estimate after the on-site visit.

Q4

Will the wiring be visible after installation?

No. We route wiring through the cabinet interiors or behind panels so the finished look is clean. If your cabinets limit routing options, we discuss alternatives before starting.

Q5

Do you serve areas outside Auburn?

Yes. We install under cabinet lighting in Roseville, Rocklin, Folsom, Lincoln, Grass Valley, and other communities in the region. Call us to confirm service availability for your address.

Q6

What type of lighting do you install?

We work with LED strip lights, puck lights, and bar fixtures. LED is the most common choice because it runs cool, uses less power, and has a long service life. We can discuss options based on your space.

Q7

Is a permit required for under cabinet lighting installation?

It depends on the scope of work. Simple fixture replacements generally do not require a permit, but new circuit additions might. We know local Auburn and CA code requirements and handle that determination for you.

Q8

My kitchen outlets are already crowded. Is that a problem?

It can be a factor. We assess your panel and existing circuits during the site visit. If additional capacity is needed, we explain the options clearly so you can decide how to proceed.
