Lighting installation and repairs, Peterborough ON
Lighting installation services are one of the jobs most commonly requested of our licensed electrician in Peterborough. They can range from something as simple as the standard light bulb fixture to more complex ones. We perform all types of lighting services for home and business, but some of the most popular requests are chandelier installation, pot light installation, and even ceiling fan installation are making a comeback. Let’s explore some commonly asked questions:
Chandelier InstallationSome common online queries ask “how to install a chandelier on a high ceiling” or “how to hang a heavy chandelier” or “how to install a chandelier in a new location”. Most of these questions can be answered by answering the one question:
Do you need an electrician to install a chandelier? We may be biased, but based on the complexity of the project and the various possibilities of errors, our answer is an emphatic yes. If you’re wondering about a chandelier installation cost, replacing an existing chandelier fixture where the wires are already in place may cost a couple hundred of dollars. If it’s a brand new install, it may range from a few hundred for smaller chandeliers and lower ceilings to a couple of thousand if dealing with a heavy chandelier that requires a lift for a high ceiling. This is for the cost of labour and does not include the cost of the chandelier fixture. Another thing to remember is that the basic electrical box holds about 50 lbs, but many ceiling chandeliers are heavier than that, and therefore need an additional reinforcement system. Potlight InstallationIf you’re looking for pot light experts, look no further. Our electricians in Peterborough are equipped to provide the most precise LED pot lights installation in the city. How much is pot light installation? The price can range from low hundreds to a couple hundred per recessed light. Factors that influence the price include whether brand new wiring is required and if physical obstacles such as heating ducts or joists need to be removed.

Ceiling Fan Installation
Ceiling fans are handy year round, but are especially welcome in the warmer months as the fan’s blades distribute the air evenly so there is less of a heat gradient in the room. Some questions we’ve come across:
Do you need an electrician to install a ceiling fan?
Generally yes, because new wiring and new switch need to be installed. Even if there is existing wiring from a light fixture, a ceiling fan is usually heavier than what the current electrical box is weighted for, and therefore an appropriate box would need to be installed.
How much does it cost to have someone install a ceiling fan?
For the standard ceiling fan, the price may range from $300 to $500, but may deviate from this range depending on specific situation. Call us for a more accurate quote.
Can I install a ceiling fan where a light fixture is?
Yes, as touched on in a previous question, a ceiling fan can be installed where a light fixture is. The advantage is that there is existing wiring in place. The slight disadvantage is that a new electrical box is likely needed to support the new weight of the fan.
Whether you’re looking for residential lighting services such as landscape lighting or commercial lighting services, our affordable Peterborough electricians can look after all your lighting service needs with the utmost detail and skill.
