Whether you want focused task lighting in a kitchen or ambient light across a living room, we size and space each fixture to match the room.

Recessed Lighting Installation FAQ

Common questions about recessed lighting installation in Orange County, CA.

Yes, we can run new wiring from your panel to rooms with no existing ceiling fixtures. This is a common request in older Orange County homes where living rooms and bedrooms were built without overhead lighting.

The number depends on ceiling height, room size, and how much light you want. We assess each room in your Orange County home and recommend a layout before any work begins.

In most cases, yes. We use retrofit-compatible fixtures and fish wiring through existing framing to minimize cuts. Two-story homes in areas like Irvine and Mission Viejo are a regular part of our work.

I needed a new 200 amp electrical panel upgrade and EV charger installed. Havican Custom Electric provided the best bid and price. Andrew and his team arrived when they said they would, weathered a severe rainstorm while performing our upgrade and kept our home clean and tidy in the process. He took care of everything from coordinating with the city inspector, utility company, stucco demo and painting so the process was a breeze. Now I am the happy owner of a neatly labeled fully future proof electrical panel with whole house surge protection. I highly recommend them for all your electrical needs.

Havican Electric was incredible from start to finish. They replaced our outlets and switches, upgraded our panel, got our EV wiring ready and electric dryer working, fixed cosmetic issues, and made sure everything was functioning perfectly ... then double-checked just to be sure. They were punctual, communicative, and super respectful of our space. We have high standards for cleanliness, and they met them without hesitation. Truly professional, kind, and easy to work with. We're so grateful and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone!

KYLE BROWN Google review · August 2025

We recently had an electrical panel replaced in our home by Andrew and Damian, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, the process was seamless. They arrived on time, was extremely professional, and took the time to explain everything that needed to be done. They worked efficiently, to obtain a permit and went through the inspection process with the City to ensure everything was up to code. What really stood out to me was their attention to detail and the quality of their work. They cleaned up after themselves, leaving my home in great shape, and answered all my questions with patience. The installation was done safely and effectively, and I felt confident in their expertise. I highly recommend Havican Custom Electric to anyone needing electrical work done. They made what could have been a stressful process feel easy and hassle-free!

Andrew and his son are awesome. I am 200% satisfy with their work. They install a nema outlet for my EV and look at the clean work they did for me (attached picture). Also, you will enjoy their movie star look as well as the great work they do for you. I recommend Havican Custom Electric for every who needs add nema outlet. Two thumps-up~

I’m am so glad that I went with Andrew out of the many electricians that I contacted for my main panel upgrade. He was very informative, responsive and more than willing to go the extra step to get the job done. I also found that his price was very competitive. I would definitely work with him again. Thank you for your help!
