Light fixture installation
What we install:
- A new fixture in place of an old one. We take the old one down.
- LED fixtures in place of old fluorescent tube lights.
- A ceiling light in a room that has none. We put in the box, run the wiring and add the switch.
- Wall sconces, pendants and kitchen lighting, including under-cabinet lights.
- Dimmers and smart switches.
For pot lights and recessed lighting, see pot light installation.
"I really appreciated the wisdom John bestowed on me while deciding lighting options in my new kitchen."
Chandelier installation and high ceilings
A heavy fixture needs a ceiling box and support that can carry it.
We check both before we hang your chandelier and add support if it needs it. We work at height too: stairwells, two-storey foyers and high ceilings. Hang the chandelier you bought, or have us supply one.
"He updated my under cabinet lighting, installed outlets, installed switches, fixed old outlets, moved light switches, fixed broken bathroom fan and installed chandeliers. Throughout he explained to me what he was doing and I felt very comfortable with the entire process."
Ceiling fan installation
We install ceiling fans in new spots and in place of an existing light.
We check that the ceiling box is rated to hold a fan and change it when it is not. We install fans on high ceilings too.

(647) 712-8001"John and his team did two very complicated installs at our home: a ceiling fan in a very high ceiling and a media box and outlet in a similarly challenging location. Extremely professional, experienced, top-quality work, very reasonable fee for such a complex job."
Outdoor lighting installation
We install porch lights, wall lanterns, soffit lights, garden lamp posts, and security and motion lights.
We can put outdoor lights on a smart control, so you set the times and brightness from your phone.
For ideas, see security lighting techniques.
"John did a great job installing pot lights in my soffits and adding Smart Home technology for the lights so that I can adjust the times and brightness for them on my phone."
Commercial lighting
For shops and offices, we install store lights and replace older ceiling lights with LED panels.
Our commercial work includes a lighting upgrade at McMaster University.
What affects the price
- How many fixtures, and what kind.
- Ceiling height.
- Whether a box and wiring are already there.
- How easy it is to reach the spot, such as an attic above or a finished ceiling.

Lighting installation FAQ
Do I need an electrician to install a light fixture in Ontario?
If you hire someone, yes. ESA says that by law it must be a Licensed Electrical Contracting Business. If you own the home you live in, ESA lets you replace a light fixture or switch yourself, like for like, without filing a notification. That does not cover recessed lighting, aluminum or knob and tube wiring, a rental unit you do not live in, or a high-rise condo.
Do I need an electrician to install a ceiling fan?
If you hire someone, yes. By law it must be a Licensed Electrical Contracting Business. ESA's homeowner exemption covers replacing a light fixture like for like; ESA says almost all other electrical work needs a notification filed with ESA.
Can I supply my own fixture?
Yes. We install fixtures you bought, or we supply them. Before you buy, most of all online, check that the fixture carries a certification mark recognized in Ontario. ESA says installing unapproved electrical equipment is against the law.
Can you fix a light that stopped working?
Yes. We find the fault, whether it is the fixture, the switch or the wiring, and fix it.
Can you add a light where there isn't one?
Yes. We put in the box, run the wiring and add the switch. We cut only where we need to; patching and painting are not part of our work.
Can you hang a chandelier on a high ceiling?
Yes. We work in stairwells, two-storey foyers and on high ceilings, and we check that the ceiling box and support can carry the fixture.
How much does it cost to install a light fixture or ceiling fan?
It depends on how many fixtures, the ceiling height, and whether a box and wiring are already there. John can quote small jobs over the phone or give you a range.
Do you do outdoor lighting?
Yes. We install porch lights, soffit lights, garden lamp posts, and security and motion lights.
