• Do I need an electrician to install a light fixture?

  Hiring a residential electrician is highly recommended when installing any light fixture. Here’s why:

  1. Safety – Working with electrical wiring can be dangerous without the right training.
  2. Code Compliance – A licensed residential electrical contractor ensures your installation meets all local safety codes.
  3. Proper Installation – We install everything securely and professionally, whether it’s a heavy chandelier or a smart switch.
  4. Avoiding Damage – Incorrect wiring can lead to short circuits, breaker trips, or fire hazards.

  While DIY videos may make it look simple, light fixture installation involves handling live wires, mounting equipment, and ensuring proper load capacity.

  At Daven Electric Corp., we handle everything—disconnecting old fixtures, connecting wiring, and making sure your new lighting works flawlessly. It’s not just about making things work but about keeping your family and home safe.

• How much does it cost to repair a residential light fixture?

  Repairing a residential light fixture typically ranges between $100 and $300, depending on the issue. As your trusted residential electrician in Brooklyn, we consider:

  • Fixture type (LED, recessed, pendant, etc.)
  • Wiring condition
  • Switch or dimmer issues
  • Fixture accessibility (e.g., high ceilings or tight spaces)

  In some cases, it may be more cost-effective to replace the fixture rather than repair it—especially if it’s outdated or no longer safe. Our residential electrical contractor will assess the situation and walk you through your options before doing any work.

  We only use quality parts and work with reliable lighting fixture manufacturers to ensure long-lasting repairs. Need a quick fix or a full replacement? Daven Electric Corp. has your back.

• How long will a typical lighting installation or repair take?

  Most lighting installations or repairs can be completed within 1 to 3 hours. However, timing depends on several factors:

  • Type of lighting (recessed, chandeliers, outdoor, etc.)
  • Location and accessibility
  • New installation vs. replacing old fixtures
  • Wiring condition

  For example:

  • Swapping a ceiling light = about 1 hour
  • Installing multiple recessed lights = 2–4 hours
  • Smart system with controls = up to 5 hours

  Our residential electrician will assess your home setup and provide a realistic timeline before starting. At Daven Electric Corp., we respect your time and work quickly—without cutting corners. Whether it’s a one-room job or a whole-house lighting upgrade, our residential electrical contractor keeps the process efficient and stress-free.
