The Lee County division of AA Action Electric specializes more in commercial new construction and build out. We also do residential remodel and custom home new construction and both residential and commercial service and underground. The Charlotte County Division is geared more to residential new construction and pool wiring.
"This is the second time I have hired AA Action Electric and they did a terrific job. This time around they installed an interlock kit, generator breaker and power inlet, and also upgraded my NEMA 14-50 EV outlet with an industrial grade receptacle. At my request, the power inlet was installed in the laundry room to power up my battery inverter generator. Kenny and Andrew were on time, professional, fast and efficient, and friendly. The price quoted for the job was reasonable, and Chris, the service manager, was easy to work with, and the job was scheduled and carried out out within a week of my approval of the estimate. ."

"If I could give less than 1 star I would. Here’s my story….Moved to Florida 3 years ago from the Northeast. Needed a generator so I narrowed it down to 2 venders from Google reviews...Reliable Power Systems and APS. Prices came in about the same, sales people were both likable, it was a coin toss who to use. I chose poorly. It took 8 months to get my generator installed (COVID shortages, not Reliable’s fault). Reliable has a nice on-line system where you can check the status of your install through the whole process. The installation went smoothly - so no problems there (although, they did leave a bit of a mess in my garage, made some holes in my drywall that they wouldn't patch etc. but no big deal). After the install, I immediately sign up for the yearly maintenance agreement with them. Fast forward 8 months later and here’s where my problems start. I have 10 guests visiting me and staying at my house (of course this is when I have problems) and one morning the electric in the kitchen, the hot water heater, the a/c and pool pumps aren't working. The circuit breakers appear all fine and everything else in the house is working. I notice blinking lights on the generator module and so I call Reliable. I explain what’s going on, I tell them I have 10 house guests. Reliable tells me they can’t make it out to my house for 2 weeks. TWO WEEKS. I’m like, how is that possible? It’s March, it’s not even hurricane season. There hasn't been any storms, it’s literally a normal time of year. I tell them I have a maintenance contract with them. They don’t care. TWO WEEKS. I ask to speak to a manager. Two hours later the manager calls me back, says he can fit me in the schedule in 6 days. SIX DAYS (which is 2 days after my guests will have left). Now, what the Reliable manager doesn't know is that in the two hours time between my first call to Reliable and his return call to me I have called my electrician in a panic. I have 10 house guests I can’t cook for, who came to Florida and now can’t use the pool or hot tub, and it’s getting warm in the house. My electrician says “Reliable is the worst, call APS”. So, I call APS. Now, I am not APS’s customer. I did NOT just spend $40,000 with them 8 months prior to purchase and install a generator. In fact, I’m the one who asked for a quote and then didn't even use them. I am no one to them. What does APS tell me? “We’ll be out in an hour”. An hour later they arrive, 15 mins after that they have re-booted my module and suggest that if it happens again that they replace it. APS’s technician had come to my house, fixed the issue and left before I even got a return phone call from Reliable’s manager telling me that he “could fit me in his schedule in 6 days”. I explained to the manager that I had called his competition and that they had already come out and fixed it. The manager told me that “Reliable has a lot of more important customers that take priority over you, like hospitals etc and we always service them first.” Ok, Hospitals are important. But six days in a non-emergency time of year to get a 15 minute repair? How long of a wait will it be during hurricane season? And no customer likes to be told that they basically aren't important—especially after just spending $40,000. I tell the manager this, and that I’m going to leave them a bad review. His reply “We have lots of good reviews, one bad review isn’t going to hurt us”. Hmmm. Are you getting a clear picture of what kind of company Reliable Power Systems is? Do yourself a service and hire Assurance Power Systems from the get go. I now have my maintenance contact with APS and they have continued to provide me with excellent and timely service."

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.
