Lighting Installation & Repair in Calgary 

For standard light fixtures, most installations take 30 minutes to 2 hours per fixture, depending on the type and location. Recessed lighting, outdoor fixtures, or lights that require new wiring or switch placement may take longer. We’ll give you a clear time estimate during your free on-site quote, so you’ll know exactly how long the job is expected to take before we start.

While you can safely change lightbulbs or plug-in lamps yourself, any hardwired lighting upgrades should be done by a licensed electrician. This includes installing ceiling lights, moving fixtures, installing dimmer switches, or adding recessed lighting. In some cases – especially if new wiring, switch locations, or circuits are involved – a City of Calgary electrical permit is required (learn more here: https://www.calgary.ca/development/home-building/trades-permits.html). At FuseSmart, we handle all of that for you, ensuring your installation is safe, legal, and fully up to code.
