Light Fixtures FAQ
Light Fixture Installation questions, answered.
Straight answers about light fixture installation in San Diego.
How long does it take to install a light fixture?
About an hour or less for most pendants, flush mounts, sconces and vanity lights. Large custom fixtures and anything on a high ceiling are in the over-2-hours group on our estimator.
Can you replace fluorescent kitchen lights with LED fixtures?
Yes. One of our customers had his kitchen ceiling lighting switched from fluorescent to flat LEDs by Diego. We remove the old fixture and ballast, patch the mounting if needed, and install the new LED fixtures.
Do you install chandeliers?
Yes. We assemble, hang and level chandeliers, set the chain or rod height, and make sure the box and bracket can carry the weight. Large chandeliers usually take more than two hours.
How much does fixture installation cost in San Diego?
Switch Your Fixture charges a $159 service call that includes the first hour of labor. Additional labor is $159 per hour, billed in 15-minute increments of $39.75. Every service is billed at the same rate, so you can add up the time for your fixtures and multiply by the hourly rate to build your own estimate.
What happens if my fixture takes less than, or more than, an hour to install?
Our service call includes an hour of labor to install your fixture. If it takes less than an hour, we offer other services to fill the time, such as changing bulbs, swapping switch plates or hanging a picture. Additional labor is billed in 15-minute increments at our hourly rate.
What if the fixture I bought doesn’t fit?
If we arrive and your fixture doesn’t fit, we only charge a 15-minute consultation fee ($39.75). The consultation gives you the information you need to buy the correct fixture, and we rebook your install.
Can you install multiple fixtures on the same visit?
Yes, that’s what we do. Every fixture is billed at the same rate, so put your whole list in one request: a fan, a faucet, a TV and a doorbell can all go in on the same trip under one service call.
Do you warranty your work?
Yes. We warranty all of our installations. If something we installed is not working the way it should, call or text (619) 677-8677 and we will come back and make it right.
Do you need a different kind of install?
Book it on the same visit.
