CINCINNATI RESIDENTIAL ELECTRICAL SERVICE

Better lighting, useful controls, and ceiling fans installed the right way.

Lighting and fan projects are about more than attaching a fixture. Trace Electric reviews the existing box, wiring, switching, support, location, and controls so the finished installation works the way the room needs it to work.

QUICK ANSWER

Lighting & Ceiling Fans

Trace Electric installs and updates residential lighting, switches, dimmers, and ceiling fans. The existing wiring, electrical box, fan support, controls, and fixture requirements need to be checked before the final installation scope is known.

WHAT WE CAN HELP WITH

Common lighting & ceiling fans needs

  • Interior and exterior light-fixture replacement
  • Recessed, task, accent, and general lighting projects
  • Ceiling-fan installation and replacement
  • Switch, dimmer, and compatible control updates
  • Evaluation of existing boxes, wiring, and support
  • Planning for practical fixture placement and switching
WHAT TO KNOW

How this kind of electrical work is approached.

A fixture replacement can be simple when the existing box, wiring, support, and controls are suitable. It becomes a different project when a new location is needed, the box is not fan-rated, additional switching is desired, or access requires new wiring.

For recessed or multi-fixture layouts, spacing and control matter as much as the individual fixture. The goal is useful light in the room rather than simply installing the maximum number of cans or fixtures.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Answers homeowners often need before scheduling.

These are general answers. The correct solution for a specific home depends on the panel, circuit, wiring, equipment, and conditions found on site.

Can you install a ceiling fan where there is currently a light?

Often, but the existing electrical box must be suitable for fan support and the wiring and controls must work for the planned fan. If the existing box or support is not appropriate, additional work may be required.

Can you install customer-supplied light fixtures or ceiling fans?

Potentially. Send the fixture or fan information and installation location. The existing box, wiring, support, controls, and product requirements need to be evaluated before the installation is confirmed.

Why does a new LED light flicker on my dimmer?

The bulb, fixture, and dimmer may not be compatible, or there may be another wiring or control issue. The specific products and circuit conditions need to be checked before replacing parts.
