Professional Dimmer and Light Fixture Installation in Cumming, Georgia
Upgrading your home’s lighting can completely transform the look and feel of your space. A beautiful new light fixture or a set of dimmer switches can make your living room feel cozy, your kitchen feel bright and functional, or your bathroom feel like a spa. But here’s the problem: installing dimmers and fixtures is not as simple as matching black to black and white to white. Modern LED dimmers require specific compatibility with LED bulbs and fixtures. Use the wrong dimmer, and you’ll get flickering lights, buzzing sounds, or dimmers that don’t turn all the way off. Worse, improper fixture installation can lead to loose connections, arcing, and fire hazards. And if your home has aluminum wiring (common in homes built in the 1960s and 1970s), special connectors are required to prevent overheating.
At Rob Ingram’s Freestyle Lighting and Electrical, we stay current on the latest dimmer technology and fixture requirements. We carry top-brand dimmers from Lutron, Leviton, and Legrand, including smart dimmers that work with Alexa and Google Home. We’ll remove your old fixture, inspect the box and wiring, install your new fixture or dimmer, and test everything thoroughly. We also offer a complimentary panel inspection with every installation to ensure your circuit can handle the new load. Call us today and let us help you bring your lighting vision to life.
Many homeowners try to install light fixtures themselves, only to end up with a fixture that’s crooked, flickering, or — worst of all — not working at all. We’ve been called out to fix hundreds of DIY installations gone wrong. When you hire us, your new fixture will be level, secure, and wired correctly the first time. We also specialize in aluminum-to-copper connections for older homes, a common source of electrical fires when done incorrectly. Plus, with every job, you get our free panel inspection and a written quote before we start. No surprises, no callbacks.
