Yes — you should hire a licensed electrician to install a chandelier, especially heavy or hardwired fixtures. Chandeliers often weigh 25–100+ pounds, require a fan/fixture-rated junction box capable of supporting that weight, and need proper wiring and grounding. DIY installs are a leading cause of fixtures falling — a serious injury and damage risk.
Why call an electrician
- Fan/fixture-rated boxes required for heavy fixtures
- Proper wiring and grounding
- Stable mounting to ceiling joists or bracing
- Workmanship warranty
- Safe handling of heavy fixtures (one-person installs are risky)
We install fixtures of every size through our lighting service.
