Hi my name is Trevor Smith and I am a California state certified Electrician. I have over 15 years experience in Residential, Commercial and Industrial electrical work. I have been trained by the union and I am a member of IBEW in good standing and am looking to help you with all your electrical needs: Troubleshooting fans, cans, spas, grow rooms etc no job to small. Same day call back Same day service I am willing to work with you on the price and I will do work for trade. Contact today for more information!

"Beware, Trevor is extremely incompetent and a complete rip off. All we needed was a simple 240 panel swap First he gave us a price to start in 3 days and a price to start in 5 days for 6k more. This was on a formal written quotation. We chose 3 days because it was an emergency. He ended up ordering the wrong panel and by the time the replacement was delivered, we were at 7 days. He still charged us the additional 6k. Next, the 2nd panel had a connections approximately 12" further than the original panel. Without quoting or even indicating that we would have to pay for this he replaced a few feet of 100 amp wire and added $4200 to the invoice! The best one is the $1500 he added to "determine which phase the stinger leg was was supposed to be on." He checked alright by process of elimination. He guessed wrong and caught my office on fire! What kind of person has the nerve to charge for that after setting your building on fire. We ended up withholding payment on the last 2 charges to get clarity from him about their legitimacy. He showed up at our business very hostile and started screaming about giving him his money and what he would do if I didn't. He had already been paid the 19k on the original estimate. He would not listen to anything or leave and ultimately I had to threaten to call the cops to get him out of there. This guy is a scam artist and a safety hazard. Save your wallet and your building and hire someone else."

Integrity and quality! Profit and speed is the priority of most companies today, many do not care about quality, safety, reliability! When it comes to VOLTEX, you will be impressed by our approach to business. Yes we will do the job 1 day longer, 1 dollar more expensive, but we will give an extended warranty on their work and many years of trouble-free work that will ultimately save your budget, time, and safety.

"Voltyx went great. Both techs (Erik and Vladimir) were professional and hard working. The dispatcher/project manager (Roman) was courteous and very easy to work with."

"I'm very pleased with my experience working with safety first electric, and I will use them again if I have another issue that requires an electrician. My family had a late night emergency caused by arcing noises in our original electrical panel. Cris from Safety First showed up late at night and quickly narrowed the problem down to specific breakers that had worn out and damaged the panel. Cris made two sensible recommendations on next steps, and Safety First returned with a crew of three guys to replace the panel and trace the circuits through my house. The job got done in one day to a high level of quality. All of the electricians we worked with were friendly, knowledgeable and hard working."

Light fixture installations FAQs

Replacing a light fixture requires one to two hours for a standard model when proper wiring is in place, and it requires four hours for intricate fixtures such as chandeliers that demand extra reinforcement and alignment. The duration is fixed by the fixture design and the existing wiring status. When wiring is not in place, running new wiring extends the project timeline while ensuring safe and compliant installation.

Replacing a damaged or outdated light fixture is the optimal solution to ensure safety and enhance your home’s aesthetics. A compromised fixture poses serious risks, such as fire and electric shock, and installing a new fixture eliminates these hazards. New fixture installation guarantees enhanced performance, improved energy efficiency, and a modern design that elevates your home's overall appeal.

The average cost of removing a light fixture ranges from $50 to $250, depending on the labor required. Detaching a simple pendant light can be done in as little as 15 minutes, while a complicated removal can take over two hours. The price will increase if additional work, such as disposal and wire capping, is required.

Professional installation of a light fixture guarantees a safe and code-compliant setup. Certified electricians possess the necessary training and experience to perform installations with flawless wiring and secure mounting. Their expertise prevents electrical hazards, such as shocks or fires, and ensures that installation meets rigorous safety standards while providing long-term reliability and performance.

The cost to install under-cabinet lighting depends on the length of your cabinets, the number of fixtures required, and the desired brightness. Most homeowners pay an average of $200 to $500 per fixture. The average rule is to install one fixture for every 8 to 12 inches of cabinet length.

Flickering or dimming, frequent burnouts, visible damage, hot temperatures, or burning smells are the top warning signs that a light fixture requires replacement. If you notice these signs, contact an electrician immediately to prevent electrical hazards or fire.
