How much do electricians charge to install chandeliers/fans?
Comments (18)I've always installed light fixtures - chandeliers, ceiling fans, outdoor wall sconces, etc myself. I have also designed these types of fixtures, and I wrote installation instructions for all of them. In addition to that, my brother studied electrical engineering for four years before he changed his major in college, and so he is good at helping me. If you have installation instructions, you should be able to do it yourself, although in my instructions, I always say that it should be done by a licensed electrician, but that was just for liability purposes. If you do not want to do it yourself, an experienced handyman should be able to do it, but I would only hire one that I already had already had experience with. I cannot help you with pricing, however, but if you hire someone that you have worked with before, you should get a reasonable bid....See Moreshould i do a fan over my round dining table or chandelier with 2 fans
Comments (3)I’ve found that having a fan over a dining room table cools the food too quickly. I’d go for just a beautiful chandelier. If you post pics of your space there are some great people on here that will help you select the right one....See More2 install quotes for ceiling fans/light fixtures - which is better?
Comments (4)Assuming that your prewired home requires no installation site changes (i.e. chandelier not centered properly or new dimmer switch required) both quotes are about the same final cost for under 6 hours of work. Your next comparison factors should be warranty, references and availability. One consideration is how the fixed fee quote deals with installation exceptions. Our prewired home had a fan way off center to the room and dining chandelier was centered on window and not where table required....See MoreHow can I make a ceiling fan and chandelier work in the same space?
Comments (11)I’m no expert on types of ceiling light fixtures but I do use ceiling fans. It’s hard to blend form and function with the newer LED lights, but I used a modern- looking fan w / integrated LED light in a fairly traditional bedroom in order to get the highest lumens light. If the fan looks weirdest in the entry area , you could move it to the other box or get a new fan with an integral light, and have something more welcoming in entry. Plus you likely need other light sources, so could be thinking an overall lighting plan for how you will use the space ( background lighting, task lighting and so on), as you think about where to put your lighting $$....See Moreshirlpp
