"I invited this Electricial PRO to show up for WORK on 03/18/2024. I have a lot of Electrical Work that needs to be done HERE. I thought He would show up for WORK at 8 am with the ARRIVAL of my Two Handymen. But, HE did’t show up at all. If HE Still wants to WORK, Then HE should SHOW-UP at 8 am TOMORROW. I need HIM to JUST SHOW UP HIM to repair a BROKEN CIRCUIT in the KITCHEN, And Install Four Ceiling Fans w/ Lights ( One of the FANS will have to be installed using a Stairway Ladder OR a Scaffolding in the STAIRWAY… So - If HE Still WORK, JUST SHOW UP…"

FAQs for electrical service projects in San Luis Obispo, CA

In some states and municipalities, licensed and registered handypersons can change a light fixture and do minor electrical work. However, you should check with your state and local licensing boards before hiring a local handyperson. In most cases, it’s safer and more practical to hire an electrician for this job. It may cost more, but hiring a licensed electrician means they’ll get the work done to code.

Special light fixtures, known as damp-rated light fixtures, are recommended in bathrooms, particularly if they're near damp areas like showers and over the bathtub. However, in most locations, they’re not a strict requirement. For safety and longevity, damp-rated fixtures are a better choice. If you work with a lighting contractor in your area, they may be able to recommend the right kinds of fixtures for your space.

Yes, it’s possible to run a second light fixture to a switch, meaning the light switch would control more than one light fixture. Several factors can impact whether it’s possible and how much it will cost. In many cases, it may be easier and more affordable for the contractor to install independent light switches. Talk to your electrician about your idea to get their feedback.
