What to Expect When Working with a Lutron Installer

"I never thought I'd miss my lighting system when I travel." That could one day be something you say, feeling like hotel rooms are too primitive with the switches, brutal all-on or all-off choices, and the constant disruption of getting up to adjust things manually.

This sentiment captures what Pennsylvania owners discover after living with a lighting and shading control system from Lutron’s flagship HomeWorks. It’s not that light control is merely convenient, but that it fundamentally reshapes how we inhabit living spaces. The system's brilliance lies in its technical specifications, quickly becoming invisible—lighting morphs from a conscious decision to atmospheric constant, from utility to architecture, function to feeling.

This guide walks you through a certified Lutron installer’s process for bringing this architectural revolution to your home on the Main Line—from initial consultation through long-term support—illuminating rooms and the possibilities they contain.
