Factors That Affect the Price
- Ceiling height: Every foot above 9 ft adds labor time. Heights above 14 ft may require an extension ladder.
- Fixture weight: Heavy chandeliers (over 35 lbs) need a reinforced ceiling box — parts $20–$50 extra.
- Existing wiring: Swapping to a fixture without existing overhead wiring requires new wiring runs.
- Dimmer switch: Adding or upgrading a dimmer switch costs $30–$80 extra in parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you install recessed lighting?
We install LED retrofit kits in existing recessed cans. New recessed can installations (cutting new holes and running new wire) require a licensed electrician.
Do I need a permit for a fixture replacement?
Simple like-for-like fixture swaps generally do not require a permit in Phoenix. New wiring or circuit work does.
