"Needed replacement of toilet wax seal. Service tech and assistant were super-nice, professional and clean. Said it would take 2 to 2.5h, but took about 45mins and the charge was $550 + fuel surcharge (if flange was not damaged). I thought this was quite high but based on Webber's ratings I figured it had to be right. Later found out that a experienced plumber would only charge around $200. Too bad, will not use T Webber again."

Chandelier Installation questions, answered by experts

Wiring or installing a light the wrong way can lead to potentially dangerous scenarios, including shock and even electrical fires. If you’re the least bit uncertain whether you’ve wired something correctly, the best and safest approach is to call in a professional electrician to handle the installation for you.

Chandelier weights vary widely depending on the size, materials, and design. If you have the original packaging or any documentation that came with the chandelier, it may provide information about its weight.

Otherwise, consider checking the manufacturer's website or contacting the manufacturer directly for specifications related to your chandelier model. Alternatively, if the chandelier is installed, you may find weight information in the installation manual. If all else fails, consult a professional installer to learn more about the weight and if it’s appropriate for spaces like a dining room.

The cost to install a light fixture ranges from $155 to $945, and the average cost is $550. Several factors can affect this cost, such as the type of light fixture, your location, and how many lights you need to be installed. The cost will also likely increase if your electrician has to do any wiring or rewiring.

You can use both LED and incandescent bulbs in an incandescent fixture as long as the bulb base is the right size. Never use a higher wattage than what the fixture recommends. However, it’s usually safe when transitioning to LED bulbs because they typically have a lower wattage than their incandescent counterparts.

When determining how far apart your can lights should be, the rule of thumb is to divide the height of the ceiling by two. The resulting number is how far apart your lights should be. For example, if your ceiling is 10 feet high, your lights should have five feet between them.

By submitting this question, I acknowledge and agree that Angi may publicly display my name, city, state, and question on the website for professionals and others to see.
