Light fixture installers in Elgin
My name is Scott Nelson. My company is called "SCOTT NELSON ELECTRIC"because I want my own name to be on every job we do. I have been in the electrical trade for over 25 years. I went to trade school school through "Associated Builders and Contractors Electrical Apprenticeship Training Program"(A.B.C.)shortly after completing high school.I am noticed by the "National Bureau of Apprenticeship Training"(N.B.A.T.)as a Journeyman Electrician. I worked for 14yrs. with contractors from the north shore,n.w. suburbs,and northern illinois. "QUALITY ELECTRICAL REPAIRS & INSTALLATIONS"is the best way to explain our service. We believe that being "neat & tidy"is one of the best ways of showing how much we respect our customers,and their homes.Our goal is 100% customer satisfaction.
"Nelson Electric is the best electrical contractor I’ve used in my thirty-eight years of owning and updating my homes. It is difficult to find an excellent contractor who is willing to take on a major remodeling project in old construction, and who handles it efficiently, cost-effectively, and with perfection. This time we were remodeling a 110 year-old bathroom. When we got down to the studs, joists, and rafters, the plans were worthless because of all the surprises. Unphased, the crew was able to trace every hidden wire to destination and source, re-route them as needed, install a new, larger, circuit breaker box, pull wire through neatly, clearly identify and label everything, and finish beautifully the lighting, overhead heating, floor heating, and exhaust fixtures, making for a beautiful bath. Thank you, Scott!"

Cost is determined by the job. Call 630-809-9111 for all of your electrical needs. We service portions of Will and Dupage County.
"In January 2023, Steve Durkiewicz stepped into a project that had previously become a financial nightmare and turned it into the dream project that we had first imagined. We had previously hired and paid ($1,765.00) a different person/business that claimed to be a licensed and experienced electrician, to install new lighting in our kitchen and home office, as well as install recessed lighting in our family room. But the job was a disaster, unprofessional and substandard - e.g. all electrical wiring was incorrect, ceiling drywall wire routing in relation to studs/framing was incorrect (i.e. ceiling drywall could not be repaired due to lack of space), etc. Steve came in and repaired all of that. With patience and professionalism, he explained every step as he made corrections, and still completed the task in a timely manner! Thank you, EMF Electric! You'll definitely hear from me again!"

FAQs for light fixture installation projects in Elgin, IL
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.
