PROJECT DESCRIPTION: CHANDELIER INSTALLATION & SMOKE DETECTOR REPLACEMENT – FORT MYERS, FL

We recently helped a homeowner in Fort Myers, FL with a couple of important electrical updates. The main project was swapping out an old ceiling fan in the living room and replacing it with a customer-supplied chandelier. While we were there, we also replaced four aging smoke detectors throughout the home to bring everything up to code.

 

WHAT WE DID:

  • Took down the existing ceiling fan mounted on a 12–15 foot ceiling
  • Installed the chandelier the customer had purchased, making sure it was properly supported and securely wired
  • Used a 12-foot A-frame ladder and safety equipment to safely reach the mounting height
  • Checked that the ceiling box was rated for the chandelier’s weight and size
  • Replaced four outdated smoke detectors with new hardwired units that include battery backup
  • Tested all smoke detectors and lighting to confirm everything was working correctly and up to code

 

THE RESULT:

The new chandelier is now the centerpiece of the living room, adding a stylish touch while being professionally and safely installed. The upgraded smoke detectors give the homeowners added peace of mind. We completed the work in a single visit with minimal disruption to the home.

 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long did the job take?

Was anything special required to install the chandelier?
Yes, we checked the existing ceiling box to make sure it was rated to handle the weight. If it hadn’t been, we would’ve installed a new one that met the proper specs. It’s something we always verify on lighting installs. Learn more about ceiling light fixture installation.
