How much does it cost to install new lights?
Installing new lights is something that homeowners who are handy and experienced dealing with electricity could do themselves. However, they would rather leave the installation of a light fixture to a specialist. We’ll go into the total national costs of installing different home lighting fixtures in this article.
The cost of lighting installation ranges from $75 for a basic dimmer switch to $300 for larger, more complicated lighting installations. If you need installation of lights in a place where one does not already exist, the cost will easily double.

HAVING A LIGHTING FIXTURE INSTALLED BY AN ELECTRICIAN
Installing light and light switch in your home depends on the professional licensed electrician, the form of light installation, the location, the amount of lamps you are installing and any electrical wiring you need. If you need to install new lights where there isn’t one now, plan to spend at least twice as much.
Although some of these lighting fixtures are easy to mount, it is not recommended that you do so if you do not have adequate electrical experience. It’s always best to recruit a specialist and here at Amarillo’s Yellow Rose Electricians we have electricians with requisite expertise and knowledge to finish the job safely and correctly.
Knowing the estimated costs for each form of lighting installation will help you decide whether or not the quote you’re getting is correct.

LIGHTING INSTALLATION COSTS: HOW TO SAVE MONEY
The first thought that comes to everyone’s mind regarding saving money on lighting construction costs is to mount the fixture themselves. However, you can do a few things to lower the cost of letting someone else install lighting or moving a light switch for you.
