Can I install a ceiling light myself without existing wiring?

You can replace an existing ceiling light on existing wiring. If there is no wiring, adding a ceiling light requires new cable, a rated ceiling box, and a switch, which a licensed electrician should install for safety and code compliance. Absolute Electric installs lighting, adds switches, and handles rewiring and panel upgrades as needed. “It is crucial to hire expert electricians…” Our experienced electricians install lighting to last for decades. We serve homes in Alexandria, Arlington, and Sterling.
