Light installation in condo



Hire a licensed electrician in Mississauga to:

-replace a switch that had not been working properly

- correct a luminaire problem

- install fixtures on the high ceiling in penthouse, a fan, or LEDs under kitchen counter

- take down an antique chandelier in the old condo and re-install it in the new one. We would handle its removal and installation at both places quickly and efficiently

Make a room with a solid concrete ceiling brighter. Add luminaires, extra outlet boxes and switch.

The easiest way to give more light to concrete ceiling is to install track lights or LED strips horizontally on the wall near the corner and point the light heads up



Also consider double sided wall mounts producing both downward and upward rays. Pick their locations so that they do not impede, obstruct or limit your movement

We can put tracks or strips on the ceiling near the wall - parallel or perpendicular to the wall

Yet another option is to run a metal wireway on the concrete (as shown on the top picture with a fan). If the wall is hollow, there will be NO visible wiremold from the switch up and the entire vertical run would be concealed behind the drywall. Unfortunately, the exposed wireway/wiremold is never aesthetically pleasing

The most expensive ways to get your suite brighter are:

- build a bulkhead around perimeter with recessed luminaires inside

- if the ceiling is 10' or higher, attach faux beam(s). Or hang one or more hollow beams that are a bit lower than ceiling and are open at the top, generating downward as well as upward illumination through gaps either above or below, or both

If an in-wall hidden wiring is necessary, some wall cutting and hole making would be required and performed

Warning:
Only an armored BX wire or metal conduit could be used in buildings. And only a licensed electrical contractors is permitted to handle this kind of work. Even a self-employed licensed electrician is NOT allowed to do it. Otherwise it's a provincial offense

A very simple basic light fixture takes about 10 minutes to install. But even the simplest one could take much more time if the ceiling was higher than 10 feet, a part was missing, if it was an installer unfriendly, or if it had, for example, a damaged part.

Putting crystals on a large hallway or high ceiling loft chandelier could take hours. Track light installation requires much more time than 10 mins as well as high tech, artistic and designer light fixtures. In most cases, the more high tech it is, the longer and harder it is to hang it up.

Other tasks like unpacking, assembling the new lights and taking the old ones down, moving furniture, etc. also take time.

I am a licensed electrician, highly experienced, fast and handy. If everything is simple, basic, installer friendly and nothing is broken or missing, you would pay from $160 to $200 for one or five pieces hung up. But it could be more expensive too.

My work starts from the moment of arrival and ends at the moment of payment.

When working in buildings, the time is counted from the instant of my arrival at the building, not from the moment of getting into the condo unit or suite. Please advise in advance if you are willing to meet me downstairs and help with the parking and navigation. This alone could save up to 40 minutes of my time and up to $40 of your money.






Most condo associations, corporations, managers, boards of directors or documents do not allow you to hang up a light fixture or replace a switch yourself. Owners or tenants must hire a licensed electrician to deal with their luminaries or fix power problems.

Check the rules before touching anything in your suite. Comply with the Condominium Act, declaration and bylaws!

All electricians must be licensed in Ontario and show evidence of same. Your best bet is to call the number below and ask me to produce the certificate of qualification upon arrival.
