Lighting Services for Portland Homes & Businesses
The right lighting transforms a room, and Goodnow Electric designs and installs it for Portland homes and businesses throughout Cumberland County. From recessed cans and under-cabinet LEDs to dimmers, ceiling fans, and outdoor and security lighting, we make your space brighter, more efficient, and more comfortable.
Portland is Maine's largest city, and its housing stock runs from century-old peninsula triple-deckers on Munjoy Hill and the West End to new construction in Deering and along the waterfront. Goodnow Electric handles lighting installation for Portland homeowners and businesses every week, and we know how the city's older wiring, tight lots, and permitting through the Inspections Division all factor into a clean, code-compliant job.
We install lighting across the West End, Munjoy Hill, and East Bayside and all of Portland — kitchen and living-room recessed lighting, energy-saving LED retrofits, landscape and pathway lighting, and motion-activated security fixtures. Clean wiring, even light, and switching that makes sense.

“After needing an emergency fix late on a cold winter's Sunday, Goodnow came to the rescue! With no power and dark approaching we called around and couldn't find any place that could help. When we gave Goodnow a call, Bret had one of his guys come over and help us out. David came over, checked things out, replaced some parts in our electrical box and we had light (and heat!!!) back again! So kind, helpful and a real life saver during emergencies!”

Lighting Services in Portland — FAQs
Can you add recessed lighting to my Portland home?
Yes. Recessed lighting is one of our most popular installs in Portland. We lay out the cans for even light, run the wiring cleanly, and add dimmers so you control the mood.
Do you install outdoor and security lighting in Portland?
We do. We install landscape, pathway, facade, and motion-activated security lighting throughout Portland to improve both curb appeal and safety.
Is upgrading to LED lighting worth it?
For most Portland homes, yes. LEDs use a fraction of the energy, last far longer, and give you better, more consistent light. We can retrofit existing fixtures or install new ones.
