What Light Electrical Work Do You Do?
We replace light fixtures (chandeliers, vanity lights, pendants, flush mounts), install and replace light switches (including dimmers and smart switches), swap outlets (standard and USB), install ceiling fans (where wiring exists), replace bathroom exhaust fans, and mount exterior light fixtures.
How Much Does Light Electrical Cost?
Light fixture replacement runs $75–$150 per fixture. Switch or outlet replacement is $50–$75 each. Ceiling fan installation (existing wiring) costs $150–$250. Bathroom exhaust fan replacement runs $100–$200. Dimmer switch installation is $75–$100.
Why Tampa Bay Homeowners Upgrade to Dimmer Switches and Smart Switches
Florida's year-round sunshine means many homeowners want variable lighting indoors -- bright when cooking or working, dimmer in the evenings. Dimmer switches are an inexpensive upgrade (typically $30–$60 per switch at a home improvement store) that dramatically changes the feel of a room. Smart switches go a step further, letting you control lights from your phone, set schedules, and integrate with Alexa or Google Home. We install both and can swap an entire room of standard switches in a single visit. Many Westchase, Carrollwood, and Riverview homeowners use a smart switch install visit to modernize their whole house at once.
Outdoor and Covered Lanai Lighting in Tampa Bay
Covered lanais, screened porches, and outdoor entertainment areas are a staple of Tampa Bay home living. Proper outdoor lighting makes these spaces usable at night and adds curb appeal. We install and replace exterior fixtures including porch sconces, post-top lights, and soffit lighting under covered lanais. All outdoor fixture work uses weather-rated fixtures appropriate for Florida's humidity. We can also install motion-sensor security lights at garage entries and walkways. If you are upgrading your lanai lighting as part of a larger outdoor refresh, we coordinate the fixture swap with any other exterior repairs in the same visit.
