Light Installation for Home Renovations
Whether you’re renovating one room or an entire house, our electricians will fit your lights and ensure they’re safely installed for efficient use. A light installation requires precision to ensure proper wiring and new light fittings and sockets need to meet the capacity of your fusebox or electrical system. An experienced electrician can efficiently fit and repair lighting systems while ensuring no damage takes place to ceilings and walls where your new fixtures will be connected.
Wall Light Installation: For wall-mounted fittings, lights can be moved or added easily by our team of electricians. We will ensure wiring is correct before adding your light fitting and bulbs.
Ceiling Light Installation: Ceiling light installations are also simple to install for professionals. We will safely perform any rewiring or fit new light fittings and bulbs, whether they’re fixed to the ceiling or hang lower.
Downlight Installation: Downlights should be placed evenly throughout your room to ensure optimal lighting, but installing these lights is also simple. Just let your electrician know how many and we can ensure they’re adequately spaced.
