Hiring FAQ
Questions before you book
Short answers on the questions that come up most for this trade in Georgia. The hiring guides go deeper.
Full FAQDo lighting showrooms install the fixtures they sell?
Many showrooms sell fixtures and some arrange installation through trades they work with. Ask whether installation is included, who performs it, and whether the installer holds a Georgia electrical license for any wiring work.
Do I need a permit for a lighting upgrade?
Swapping a fixture one for one usually does not need new wiring. Adding circuits or running new wire typically requires an electrical permit and inspection in most Georgia jurisdictions. Confirm the plan with your local building department.
How does lighting design service work?
Showrooms commonly offer help ranging from a fixture selection session to a full lighting plan with specified products. Ask how the fee works, whether it credits toward purchases, and who installs the specified fixtures.
