Replacing a Light Fixture

Replacing a light fixture may seem like one of those “easy” DIY projects you can handle on a Saturday afternoon. But depending on the lighting, the switch wiring and your home’s circuitry, you may not realize just how tricky and even dangerous the project can be. To avoid possible mishaps, the safest bet is to call Root Electric’s Northern Virginia residential electricians for help.

Not only do we have an eye for form, function and energy efficiency, but we can also catch wiring dangers and complications that you might not. This is especially important if the reason you are replacing a light fixture is because it is not working in the first place. Something is probably amiss with the wiring.

Older homes are especially tricky when it comes to dealing with the wiring and circuitry behind the light fixtures and switches that you will have to work with. Unfortunately, people have been known to start fires and suffer serious electrical shocks (or worse) when trying to work on things as “simple” as light fixtures. Replacing old ceramic light sockets, dealing with the possibility of aging aluminum wiring, wiring multiple lights to a single switch, or installing a dimmer or a configuring a light or motion sensitive switch—each of those tasks is best done by a professional residential electrician.

We want everyone to live in a safe, electrically efficient home. Remember, never attempt to undertake any electrical upgrades or repairs on your own as this can be very dangerous! We can help!
