New light fixtures change how a room feels, but a heavy chandelier or a fixture over a two-story foyer needs proper support and correct wiring to be safe. Neighbors Electric installs and replaces light fixtures and chandeliers across Fort Worth and the greater Dallas / Fort Worth metroplex, including high-ceiling work that calls for the right equipment.

Why Fort Worth trusts Neighbors Electric

Homeowners in Fort Worth, Grapevine, and Southlake call us for fixture work because we secure heavy fixtures to a rated box, wire them cleanly, and handle the awkward, high, and fragile installs that a quick handyman swap should not touch.

Technical expertise and diagnostics

Fixtures must be supported by a box rated for the weight, and heavier fixtures over 50 pounds require additional support per NEC 314.27(A). We confirm the box and support, match the fixture’s wiring to the circuit, and add or adjust switching and dimming where needed. We test with a circuit tester and confirm correct dimmer compatibility for LED fixtures.

Signs you need light fixture installation

• A heavy chandelier or pendant that needs solid support
• A fixture over a high foyer or stairwell that is hard to reach safely
• Flickering or buzzing LEDs caused by an incompatible dimmer
• A new fixture that does not match the existing box or wiring
• Bare wires or a fixture that was never properly mounted

Our process

1. Confirm the box and support are rated for the fixture weight
2. Remove the old fixture and inspect the wiring
3. Mount the new fixture securely and make clean connections
4. Install or match a compatible switch or dimmer
5. Test the fixture, dimming range, and switching

How we verify the work

We confirm the fixture is solidly supported, connections are tight and correct, and the fixture lights fully across its dimming range with no flicker or buzz. For chandeliers we check the level and chain or rod length before final tightening.

Why professional service matters

A heavy fixture pulling loose from an unrated box can fall and injure someone below, and incorrect LED dimmer pairings cause flicker that shortens bulb life. Correct support and matched controls make the difference between a fixture that lasts and one that fails. Learn more from the Electrical Safety Foundation International.

Frequently asked questions

Can you install a chandelier on a high foyer ceiling?

Yes. We use the proper equipment to reach and support high-ceiling fixtures safely, confirm the box is rated for the weight, and set the chain or rod to the right height.

Why do my new LED lights flicker on the dimmer?

Many older dimmers are not compatible with LED fixtures. We install an LED-rated dimmer matched to your fixture, which usually resolves the flicker and buzz.

Do heavy light fixtures need a special box?

Yes. Fixtures over a certain weight require a box and support rated for that load. We confirm and upgrade the support before mounting a heavy fixture.

Can you replace a fixture with one I purchased?

Yes. Bring your fixture and we will remove the old one, check the box and wiring, and install and test the new fixture.

Can you add a dimmer to my existing lights?

In most cases yes. We confirm the fixture and bulbs are dimmable, then install a compatible dimmer for smooth, flicker-free control.

How long does light fixture installation take?

A simple swap is quick. Chandeliers, high ceilings, and new switching take longer. We give you a clear estimate before starting.

Is it safe to install a chandelier myself?

Light fixtures involve live wiring and, for chandeliers, significant weight at height. A licensed electrician ensures proper support and correct connections, which is why most homeowners leave heavy or high installs to us.
