Lighting & Ceiling Fan Installation in Spokane, WA

Indoor fixtures

Swapping fixtures, adding recessed lights, under-cabinet lighting and new switch locations. Older homes may need new boxes or wiring to support modern fixtures.

Ceiling fans

Fans need a box rated for the weight and movement. A fan on an old light box can work loose over time.

Outdoor lighting

Porch, path and security lights make long winter evenings safer. Outdoor fixtures and circuits need weather-rated parts and GFCI protection.

Dimmers and controls

LED bulbs need compatible dimmers to avoid flicker or buzzing. Smart switches and motion sensors are other options.

Recessed lights in older ceilings

Plaster and lath ceilings in older Spokane homes take more care to cut and patch. Choose fixtures rated for contact with insulation if they're below an attic.

Energy use

LED fixtures use a fraction of the power of older bulbs and run cooler.

Safety

Turning off the switch isn't enough; the breaker must be off before work on a fixture.

Get it done

Tell the electrician what you'd like and where. Send a request and an electrician will get in touch.

Ceiling height and fan size

Larger rooms need larger fans, and low ceilings may need a flush-mount fan. Fans should be at a safe height above the floor and clear of walls and furniture.

Winter fan use

In winter, running a ceiling fan on low in reverse pushes warm air down from the ceiling, which helps in rooms with high or vaulted ceilings.

Short winter days

With early sunsets from November to February, good exterior lighting at steps, driveways and entrances makes a real difference to safety on icy evenings.
