What do light installation services include?
Your light installation service includes planning the wiring route, cutting a hole in the ceiling or wall for mounting the light fixture if necessary, installing a new or replacement fixture, wiring the light, wiring a dimmer switch if required and testing the replacement light installation. Note that before the installation step, your light installation expert cuts off the power to the lights.
Planning the wiring route
Your electrician begins by planning how to wire the new light fixture if necessary. Wiring a light fixture involves measuring and cutting a sufficient length of wire that leads from the junction box or power source to the light fixture.
They may make the wiring a little longer than required to give the wires slack and provide extra material to cut and splice in case the wire becomes frayed later on. Your light installation expert should plan and install the wiring following established safety codes and standards set forth by your state.
Cutting a hole into the wall or ceiling
For a new light installation, your hired light installation expert proceeds to cut a hole into the wall or ceiling where you want the new light fixture. They can do the appropriate measurements for mounting the light fixtures, light switch and dimmer switch installation if necessary.
Your light installation expert can cut the right-sized hole for your new lights and install them, whether it be LED lights, sensor lights, ceiling lamps, bathroom lights, or chandelier. Note that they may have to do some simple carpentry if no mounting holes exist and if some holes aren't the right size or aren't cut according to building codes.
Installing the light fixture
Your light installation expert proceeds to install the light fixture. They mount these on the holes cut into a wall or ceiling, then secure them with the included screws. If necessary, some experts may drill additional holes to allow for screws or securing brackets.
Connecting the wiring
Next, your light installation expert proceeds with installing and connecting the wiring that comes from your junction box and links these to the new light fixture. Your light installation expert may attach mounting brackets to secure the wiring and ensure that it doesn't sag or come loose. They can also make sure to connect the wires of the right colours to their appropriate terminals.
Testing the light installation
After finishing the job, your light installation specialist puts the power back on and tests the light. They can switch the light on and off several times, then leave it on for a few minutes to watch for any unusual behaviour. Should the newly installed lights flicker, go out or not work as intended, your light installation expert shuts off the power and checks each component of the lighting to find the source of the problem. They repeat this process until the light works without any issues.

We have an existing hardwired Oven, which we would like to replace. I have bought a new oven and it needs to be installed. So will require disconnecting the existing hardwired Oven and connecting the new hardwired oven. We have a porch light that is not functional. I have bought a new motion sensor light. I would like the existing porch light to be replaced by the new one. We have an existing doorbell that is battery-operated and not functional. I would like it to be replaced with a new electric bell. I have not bought the bell and I am open to your recommendations on what Bell I should buy. There is no electricity connection at the spot where the current bell exists. So that connection will need to be created. This is not a necessity and if it is too much trouble and too expensive, I will skip it. I will require a certificate of compliance. I am not sure how much these tasks cost. - Due date: Needs to be done on Thursday, 1 December 2022

Downlight installation and fitting swap
$300
Mont Albert VIC, Australia
5th Jul 2021
Need a professional electrician as I have a dark bedroom which currently has two led downlights and I need to make it brighter. I think an extra two downlights should be added and changing the current two to be directional would solve it (the current two are centered in the room so making them directional would mean the light could be better directed around the room). So in total it’s two new downlights to be installed and two existing fittings to be changed. I don’t have the fittings, so would need those (4) supplied and will pay for them on top of the fee outlined. If you have an alternate solution instead of directional downlights, I’m open to advice.
Would use again :D
