SERVICE FAQs
Lighting & Ceiling Fan Installation questions
These answers are general guidance, not a diagnosis of the electrical system at your property.
Discuss your issueCan any light fixture use a dimmer?
No. The fixture, lamps, and dimmer must be compatible. Check the manufacturers’ specifications and ask an electrician to confirm the correct setup.
Can a ceiling fan be installed where a light is now?
Sometimes, but the existing electrical box must be rated and supported for a fan. A professional can assess the mounting and wiring before installation.
Does installing a new light always require new wiring?
Not always. The existing wiring and switching arrangement determine what is needed. A site assessment is the reliable way to confirm scope and cost.
