Chandelier Installation
Professional Chandelier Installation - Safe & Securein West Palm Beach, Wellington, Jupiter, Jupiter Island, Riviera Beach, Manalapan, Palm Beach, FL, and the surrounding areas
The entrance to your home is meant to be grand, just like higher-end hotels have impressive entranceways throughout West Palm Beach and the surrounding areas. One of the best ways to create that effect is with a professional chandelier installation, whether inside your main entrance, beneath an exterior canopy, or in another prominent area of your home.
Freshwater & Son’s Electric provides chandelier installation for modern, antique, custom, and imported light fixtures. Because chandeliers and specialty fixtures can be larger, heavier, or built differently than standard lighting, proper mounting, wiring, grounding, and electrical compatibility should be evaluated before installation. Contact us today to discuss your chandelier or specialty light fixture installation needs.
Professional Chandelier Installation for New, Custom & Specialty Light Fixtures
There are all manner of chandelier sizes and configurations, and these are specialty light fixtures that require the right approach to have things done properly. With new construction, it is vital to add the required structural support for the chandelier locations, and this provides easy access to do just that. Existing construction can also be handled, but a bit more care will be taken to not disrupt existing structures. We can also help to determine the proper sizing for potential chandelier locations.
Chandelier Installation for Imported, Antique & Specialty Fixtures
Wiring, Grounding & Electrical Compatibility May Need to Be Addressed First
Not every chandelier or specialty light fixture is ready to be installed as soon as it arrives. Antique fixtures may contain aging wiring or outdated electrical components, while some imported, custom, or specialty fixtures may not carry a recognized U.S. safety listing or may have been manufactured for electrical requirements used in another country.
Before completing a professional chandelier installation, Freshwater & Son’s Electric can inspect the fixture for issues involving wiring, grounding, electrical components, and its connection to the home’s electrical system. When appropriate, wiring or components may need to be updated before the fixture can be safely installed.
A fixture being manufactured overseas does not automatically mean there is a problem. The important consideration is whether the specific fixture and its electrical components are suitable for the intended installation and meet applicable electrical requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chandelier Installation
Why Can't I Use A Normal Ceiling Box For A Chandelier?
Most ceiling boxes that are found in many construction scenarios are only rated to hold between 15 and 50 pounds. Most chandeliers far surpass this weight range, and this means that reinforcement of the mounting area must happen to ensure that your chandelier is mounted safely, along with being wired properly.
How Much Space Should Be Between The Bottom Of A Chandelier And The Floor?
When positioning a chandelier in places like entrances and elsewhere where people will be walking underneath it, there should be at least seven feet between the bottom of a chandelier and the floor. In two-story foyers, the bottom of a chandelier is typically positioned level with the second floor.
Why Do Vintage Chandeliers Need Rewiring?
The materials used for covering old wiring typically get brittle and begin to disintegrate over time. Additionally, older lighting fixtures typically do not have a ground wire and are much more prone to electrical fires. The best answer is to properly rewire your vintage or antique chandelier to ensure that it functions properly and is safe to use.
