Can I install a ceiling light myself without existing wiring?

You can, but adding a ceiling light with no existing wiring involves new cable runs, a code-rated ceiling box, a wall switch, and load checks at your panel. This is skilled electrical work. Appleton Campbell installs new ceiling lights and wiring, adds dimmers or new switches, and offers LED options with up-front pricing. A licensed electrician will confirm scope and costs on site. We serve homes across Ashburn, Warrenton, and Fredericksburg.

Quick checks:

• Is there attic or crawl access above the ceiling?
• Do you need a new switch location?
• Is the ceiling box rated for the fixture’s weight?
