"Absolute waste of time and money. I scheduled a very simple job - replace two exterior wall sconces (porch lights) with two new ones. The old ones work fine, we just want to update the look. Scheduled service for a date and time and acknowledged there is a $69 service/trip fee which is waived if you have them do the work; no problem. They even called day-of to see if tech could come out earlier than scheduled, which worked fine. When tech arrived, I explained the very straightforward job I wanted done. He looked over the new parts, and I thought we'd be good to go. Then he said that before he did anything he had to do a "safety inspection." An hour later he quoted me a multi-thousand dollar bid to replace all sorts of equipment I had no interest in replacing. And the simple job, if he did just that, would be over $550. I declined, and so it cost me $69 to have no work done and waste my time. I will either do this myself or find a local handyman. Avoid this company like the plague."

"SSGE acted like a teenager wrt aftersale service. The first time I called SSGE was when then was an alarm on the system, ( a year after install) and they refused service!!! The reason per SSGE was that there was dispute during install. During the sales process, SSGE had told me that HOA approval was NOT needed. Right after installation, the HOA wanted to remove the generator, and it took me 2 weeks to sort out the issue. I paid SSGE the second half of the payment in full only after the dispute with HOA was settled in about 2 weeks.Is that a good enogh reason to not provide service?? I had to call Generac's head-quarters and they helped me trouble shoot the alarm on my system."

Chandelier installation requires between one and four hours based on project complexity. Simple fixture replacements with existing wiring and adequate support might finish within an hour, while installations requiring new wiring or structural reinforcement could extend beyond half a day.
Installations in challenging locations like high ceilings or stairwells take longer to complete safely. Your electrician should provide a time estimate after evaluating your specific installation requirements.
Professional electrician installation is highly recommended for chandelier projects. Qualified electricians ensure proper electrical connections, verify structural support adequacy, and maintain compliance with building codes. While replacing a simple fixture might seem straightforward, improper installation can create safety hazards and potentially void insurance coverage. Professional installation includes comprehensive services like fixture testing, workspace cleanup, and proper disposal of packaging or old fixtures.
When determining chandelier placement, consider practical clearance requirements—30 to 36 inches above tables and seven feet above floor surfaces. Evaluate your ceiling's structural capacity, access to existing wiring, and the visual proportion between your fixture and the surrounding space.
Consider lighting functionality, as chandeliers provide ambient rather than task-specific illumination. For dining areas, select fixtures approximately one-half to two-thirds of the table width. Remember that installation costs increase significantly for stairwells or elevated spaces.
To assess your ceiling's weight-bearing capacity, examine your current electrical box type and mounting system. According to manufacturer specifications, weight capacities vary significantly between standard and reinforced mounting systems.
Chandeliers exceeding standard weight limits require specialized mounting hardware and possibly structural reinforcement. When uncertain, consult a licensed electrician who can evaluate your ceiling structure, identify joist positions, recommend appropriate reinforcement methods, and ensure your installation meets both electrical and structural safety requirements.
