Do i need an electrician to install a lighting fixture?

Professional Lighting Installation By Qualified Electricians

Installing a light fixture can be a complex task and if you have never worked with electricity before, it really is a good idea to hire a professional licensed electrician.

Working with electricity can be extremely hazardous for anyone that is not an experienced electrician. Whether you need help with replacing an old fixture or wiring a ceiling light to a new site, we have you covered!

Wiring a Light Fixture

Light fixtures should always include a hot wire, a neutral wire, and a ground wire. These wires are color coded for safety, but using a licensed electrician is still recommended for any wiring project. 

A light must always be wired before it is mounted. Wiring is a complicated process that must be done correctly to eliminate any fire hazards.

We can connect all of your wires safely, effectively, and efficiently so you never have to worry about electrical issues and will always have the light you need.

LED Installation

For old homes, we recommend replacing your old incandescent bulbs with LED lighting. This is beneficial for many reasons:

• LED lights are more efficient- in fact, LED bulbs use 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs and end up saving you money
• LED bulbs last much longer than regular lighting 
• The light emitted from LED bulbs is high quality
• It is getting harder to find incandescent bulbs and LED lights require little maintenance 

Recessed Lighting Installation

Recessed lights are those that are hidden within the ceiling. Many people want these in certain areas of their home because they can create a particular type of atmosphere.

We always articulately plan ahead for any recessed lighting installation because it requires us to cut a hole in the ceiling. It is imperative that we check for wires, pipes, ducts and any other obstacles before drilling or cutting the hole.

After the wiring is properly connected, the light may be mounted and the trimming added.

How Much Does it Cost to Get a Light Fixture Installed?

The cost for light fixture installation is based on::

• Type of Fixture
• Condition of Wiring
• Accessibility
• Any Needed Repairs

You can expect to pay $50 to $100 an hour for labor plus the cost of the fixture itself. The average is around $400 with a range between $150 and $500.
