We install efficient, great-looking lighting that improves security, curb appeal, and everyday comfort at your home.
At Franks Innovative Electric Inc., we install indoor and outdoor lighting that makes your home safer, more useful, and better looking. Good lighting does more than brighten a room or walkway. It helps you see better, adds comfort, improves curb appeal, and can even lower energy use when the right fixtures and controls are installed. With 20 years of combined hands-on experience, we help homeowners in Riverside and across the Inland Empire choose lighting that fits the space, the electrical system, and the way they live.
We focus on clean, professional electrical work from start to finish. Whether you want to update old interior fixtures, add recessed lighting, install landscape lighting, or improve security lighting around your property, we make sure the job is done safely and up to code. Our work is often praised by city inspectors for being neat and professional, and that matters when you are trusting someone to work on your home’s wiring.
We handle many types of residential lighting projects, including full lighting upgrades and new fixture installations. Our indoor and outdoor lighting installation service can include:
If your project is part of a larger electrical upgrade, we can also look at the supporting electrical work needed to do it right. In many homes, lighting problems are tied to older wiring, overloaded circuits, outdated panels, or poor fixture placement. Because we also specialize in panel upgrades, full rewiring, EV charger installations, and dedicated circuits, we can address the bigger picture when needed instead of just swapping out a fixture and leaving underlying problems behind.
Indoor lighting should make daily life easier. We help homeowners create lighting plans that improve visibility, comfort, and style in the rooms they use the most. In kitchens, that may mean brighter task lighting for food prep and cooking. In bathrooms, it may mean cleaner, more even light around mirrors. In living rooms and bedrooms, it may mean layered lighting with overhead lights, dimmers, and accent lighting that make the space more flexible.
We install lighting for remodels, room updates, and homes that simply need better light output. If you have dark corners, shadows, outdated fixtures, or rooms that never feel bright enough, we can recommend practical options. Recessed lighting is a popular choice for clean, modern ceiling lighting. Pendant lights can add style and focused light over islands or tables. LED fixtures are often the best option for long life, low maintenance, and energy efficiency.
When installing indoor lighting, we pay attention to more than looks. We consider switch locations, ceiling access, fixture support, existing wiring condition, breaker capacity, and how the lighting will actually be used every day. That way, you get a finished result that is both attractive and functional.
Outdoor lighting adds safety, security, and curb appeal. A well-lit exterior helps reduce trips and falls, makes entry points easier to see, and deters unwanted activity around the home. It also helps you enjoy your yard, patio, and outdoor living areas after dark.
We install exterior lighting for front yards, backyards, side yards, driveways, patios, garages, and pathways. This may include wall lights, post lights, security lights, motion-activated fixtures, flood lights, and low-voltage landscape lighting. We also install lighting to highlight trees, architectural details, and outdoor features so your property looks polished at night without being overly bright.
Outdoor electrical work needs to be installed correctly to hold up against weather and moisture. We use proper wiring methods, weather-rated components, and code-compliant installation practices to help protect the system and your home. Whether you want a welcoming front entry, better backyard visibility, or stronger security lighting, we design the system around your goals and the layout of the property.
Many homeowners ask about LED lighting, and for good reason. LED lights use less energy than older incandescent or halogen lighting, last much longer, and produce less heat. They are a smart choice for both indoor and outdoor applications. We install LED fixtures and can upgrade older lights to more efficient options where it makes sense.
Energy-efficient lighting can help reduce maintenance and monthly power use while still improving brightness and performance. We can also install dimmers, motion sensors, and other lighting controls that give you more control over how and when lights operate. For outdoor areas, this can mean better security and less wasted electricity. For indoor spaces, it can mean better comfort and flexibility throughout the day.
We start by understanding what you want to improve. Some homeowners already know the exact fixtures they want. Others just know that parts of the home are too dark, outdated, or not working the way they should. We walk through the space, look at the existing electrical setup, and recommend lighting solutions that fit your goals, budget, and home layout.
Our process may include fixture placement planning, checking wiring condition, reviewing switch and dimmer options, evaluating circuit needs, and identifying any code or safety concerns. Once the scope is clear, we explain the work in simple terms so you know what to expect. On installation day, we work carefully and professionally, keeping the jobsite as clean as possible and completing the electrical work to a high standard.
For lighting projects that require more involved electrical modifications, we can advise you on whether additional work is needed to support the installation properly. Our goal is not just to make the lights turn on, but to make sure the system is safe, reliable, and built to last.
Homeowners choose Franks Innovative Electric Inc. because we bring real electrical experience to every job. We are not just installing decorative fixtures. We understand the wiring behind the walls, the load on the circuits, and the code requirements that protect your home. That matters when lighting is being added to older houses, remodeled spaces, outdoor areas, or high-use rooms like kitchens and garages.

If you are ready to upgrade your indoor lighting, outdoor lighting, recessed lights, security lights, landscape lighting, or LED fixtures, we are here to help. At Franks Innovative Electric Inc., we take pride in doing the job safely, neatly, and the right way the first time. Call us at (909) 648-8696 to discuss your project and schedule an estimate. Let us help you brighten your home with lighting that looks great, works well, and adds lasting value.
We start with a visit to review your indoor or outdoor lighting goals, inspect existing wiring, switch locations, load capacity, and mounting conditions. Then we recommend the best layout, fixture options, brightness, and code-safe upgrades, and provide a clear estimate and timeline.
Once you approve the work, we schedule your installation and map out the details so the job runs smoothly. If the project needs new circuits, recessed lighting, exterior weather-rated fixtures, or permit coordination, we handle that upfront and keep you informed at every step.
On install day, we complete the wiring, mounting, connections, device testing, and fixture setup with clean, professional workmanship. Before we leave, we test every light, check switches, timers, dimmers, or photocells, and walk the finished project with you to make sure everything looks right and works safely.

"Honest,On time,Fair and reasonable pricing The Best contractor I've ever hired! Very experienced and knowledgeable! Hire Frank's Innovative if your electrical needs to be done right the first time!👍"
"Frank came to our rescue at last minute, after hours. He was professional and quick. We felt he went over and beyond to satisfy us."
"Frank’s Innovative Electric Incorporated did lighting for me at two separate locations. The first was a brand-new condominium that needed lighting in four rooms (living room, master bedroom and two standard bedrooms). A total of twelve retrofit lights, two retrofit ceiling fans, switches and dimmers for all rooms. I have slight obsessive compulsive disorder traits (OCD) and wanted the installation done right. Frank and Oscar did everything they could to make sure I was happy. I watch every part of the installation and was satisfied with their work. The results were so good I had them do the installation on my house for my office and loft (pictures posted). A total of ten retrofit lights, two retrofit ceiling fans, switches and dimmers for both rooms. I highly recommend Frank and Oscar, they understand people like me with my OCD traits and were patience and respectful. The prices for the both jobs were good and I would not hesitate to use their services again. The installation of the fans was done properly with careful work in subfloor of my office to place the ceiling fan bracket (there was a lip in the floor joist due to I-framing design). Oscar fashioned wood spacers so the retrofit “Saf-T-Brace” would fit properly. This took extra time and work but Oscar wanted to make sure the brace fit right. Before they started I asked Frank to come to the job site a second time so I could discuss my lighting needs (even after he gave a quote) because I was still concerned about how much light I would need. Frank and Oscar took the time and walked me through their thought process. In the end I followed their recommendations (6 lights in my office instead of 4) and I am glad I did. I highly recommend Frank’s Innovative Electric and couldn’t be more pleased. If you need an patience electrician with excellent customer service I would recommend that you give them a call."
