Ceiling Fans & Fixtures
Need lighting installation in Kennebunkport? Aces Highlands runs out of 508 Riverside St Unit 1 in Portland and covers York County routinely, which means a technician who already understands the area's homes and permit process shows up, not a stranger learning it on the job.
Good lighting transforms a home. Aces Highlands installs indoor and outdoor lighting fixtures, recessed lighting, ceiling fans, and landscape lighting -- wired properly and looking great.
We install recessed lighting, pendant fixtures, chandeliers, under-cabinet lighting, and vanity lighting for kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, and bedrooms. Every fixture is properly supported, wired, and switched. Pair new lighting with dimmer switches for complete control over your room ambiance.
Outdoor lighting improves safety, security, and curb appeal. We install porch lights, motion-sensor fixtures, landscape lighting, and pathway lights with weatherproof connections and proper circuit protection.
Ceiling fan installation requires proper electrical box support and wiring. If your home has older wiring that cannot support new fixtures, our rewiring services can bring your electrical system up to date. We install fans with or without lighting kits, wire them to separate switches for independent fan and light control, and make sure everything runs quietly and safely.

- Pricing you see up front and a diagnosis you can trust — never a sales pitch

Kennebunkport Homes and What They Need
Kennebunkport's median home was built in 1982, with about 13 percent of units predating 1940 and 29 percent predating 1960 -- a mix of early-1900s shingle-style cottages in the Cape Arundel Summer Colony Historic District alongside newer coastal construction. Those older cottages are prime candidates for a heat pump retrofit that extends comfortable use into the shoulder seasons.
Power, Storms and Wiring in Kennebunkport
Central Maine Power serves Kennebunkport; the municipal Kennebunk Light & Power District that covers part of neighboring Kennebunk does not extend into town. On older coastal cottages, salt exposure and undersized original panels make panel upgrades a common request before adding modern kitchen or heat pump circuits.
Getting to Know Kennebunkport
Kennebunkport was first incorporated in 1653 as Cape Porpus, renamed Arundel in 1701, and finally took its current name in 1821 to reflect a growing shipbuilding and trading economy. Walker's Point, the Bush family's summer estate here, has hosted world leaders including Margaret Thatcher and Mikhail Gorbachev.
Cape Porpoise remains a working fishing harbor village within the town, keeping its own restaurants, church, library and commercial fleet. The Cape Arundel Summer Colony Historic District, running from Chick's Creek to Walker's Point, is full of early-1900s shingle-style summer cottages that still define much of the town's coastline.
Local & Independent — Not a Franchise
There is no franchise behind Aces Highlands — just a Portland-based crew that works Kennebunkport under its own name. Nobody on our crew works on commission, so there is no incentive to sell you more than the job needs. Getting invited back is the only metric that matters here.

Planning a Lighting Upgrade: Recessed, Outdoor & Smart
Lighting is the electrical job most homeowners do purely for how the house feels, not because something broke — which means it's worth getting a few technical details right the first time instead of living with a compromise.

Codes & Permits for Lighting Installation in Kennebunkport
Electrical work in Kennebunkport is licensed and permitted under Maine's Electricians' Examining Board, which adopted the 2026 National Electrical Code effective July 1, 2026. The Town of Kennebunkport does not issue electrical permits itself. Per the Town's own Forms and Permits page, all electrical work must be performed by a Maine-licensed electrician under the State of Maine electrical inspection program (Office of Professional & Occupational Regulation / Electricians' Examining Board); the Town only separately permits generator installations. Home to Walker's Point, the Bush family's summer estate, within the Cape Arundel Summer Colony Historic District of early-1900s shingle-style cottages running from Chick's Creek to Walker's Point.
- Replacing existing lighting fixtures is 'minor repair work' exempt from the state electrical permit; installing a new lighting circuit is not minor repair and needs a permit. maine.gov
- Maine's adopted GFCI amendment to NEC 210.8(F) carries forward the NEC's own Exception No. 1: 'GFCI protection shall not be required on lighting outlets other than those covered in 210.8(C).' maine.gov
- Central Maine Power (CMP), a subsidiary of Avangrid, describes itself as serving 'approximately 670,520 electricity customers in an 11,000 square-mile service area in central and southern Maine' — the region that contains the entire Augusta-to-York corridor. Consistent with this, South Portland's own permitting page requires a CMP account/work-order number on any electrical permit tied to a service change, and Buxton's electrical permit application has a dedicated field for the applicant's CMP account number. cmpco.com
How Aces Highlands Handles Lighting Installation in Kennebunkport
- Swapping an existing fixture is exempt minor repair work under state law; wiring in a brand-new lighting circuit is not, and that part gets permitted.
- We run outdoor lighting on GFCI-protected circuits per code, even though the fixture itself sits outside the state's GFCI requirement.

We have called Samuel for our electrical needs over the last few years and have always been impressed with professional and courteous attitude — installing extra outlets, installing new lights and ceiling fans, our whole house generator, charger for the electric car, even the hot tub!!! His price was fair, and never disappointed when work was completed.

I've had an excellent experience working with them for both electrical and HVAC work as I remodel my 1785 home. I highly recommend them.

I can not recommend Sam and his team enough!! In a world of slow response times and cut corners they went above and beyond in every area, installing a new electrical panel for me. Their attention to detail and love of their craft truly sets them apart from the rest!

Where to begin? These guys hooked up a sauna for me and did an amazing job, it was not a small job. Projects big or small, these guys are my go to. Responsive, reasonably priced, and professional. In a world where it is tough to get good service, I'm thrilled to have these guys in my phone.

This team was called in by my property management company for where I rent. Elijah and his team were professional, clear speaking. Good communicators gave me the real deal. Didn't give any runaround. I trust them and want to use them for my own projects.

Lighting Installation FAQs
Can a ceiling fan go where my light fixture is now?
Only if the electrical box is fan-rated. Standard light boxes cannot carry a spinning 40-pound fan safely. We check the existing box and, if needed, install a fan-rated brace box — a routine part of nearly every ceiling fan installation in an older home.
How much does recessed lighting cost to install?
Nationally, recessed LED fixtures typically run $150-$300 per light installed in an existing ceiling, with the price varying by attic access and wiring runs. Multi-light projects cost less per fixture. We quote your full layout in writing before we cut anything.
Are LED fixtures worth it over older lighting?
Yes, and at this point they are the default. LEDs use about 75% less energy than incandescent, last 15-25 times longer, and run cool. For recessed lighting, modern wafer LEDs also install in shallow ceilings where old cans never could.
Why do my new LED lights flicker on the dimmer?
Almost always an incompatible dimmer — older incandescent-style dimmers do not play well with LED drivers. Swapping in an LED-compatible dimmer solves it. We match dimmers to your specific bulbs and fixtures as part of every lighting installation.
Do you install fixtures I purchased myself?
Gladly. Bring us the chandelier, pendants, or fan of your choice and we will install it properly — supported, wired, and switched. No markup requirement, no pressure to buy through us. We just want the install done right.
