When it comes to installing ceiling lights, it can be tempting to take on the task as a DIY project. However, it is essential to remember that this is a job that requires the expertise of a licensed electrician. Not only will they guarantee that the work is done accurately and safely, but they will also be able to tackle any issues that may arise. Customers have told us over the years that what seemed like a straightforward job ended up taking up their entire Saturday afternoon.
This is because walls and ceilings are usually finished, making access to install new cables limited. An electrician will need to install new wiring in the wall from the location of the switch and cross the ceiling to one of the new lights. This cable is called a switching leg or control circuit. They will also need to run the wiring through the ceiling between each location of the light to interconnect them. Hiring an electrician for this job is not only safer, but it will also save you time and money in the long run.
They will be able to complete the task quickly and efficiently, ensuring that your ceiling lights are installed correctly and safely.
