Install Kitchen Lighting | |
It's a quick job for an electrician, so most of the money goes for the fixture, not the labor. If you do the work and budget $100 for the fixture, you can save about one third of what an electrician will charge. These are the tools and supplies you'll need: screwdriver, wire snipper, electrical tape and a ladder. It helps to have someone who can hold the fixture while you work on it. If the new light is part of a kitchen remodel, remove the old fixture and paint the ceiling before you install the new one. Important: Before you begin, turn off the power at the main service panel to the circuit serving the light. |
