What's included
- Removing the old chandelier or fixture if needed
- Fitting a mount suited to the ceiling type — concrete, drywall, stretch ceiling
- Wiring the chandelier to match the switch setup (single or multiple buttons)
- Installing recessed fixtures into pre-cut ceiling openings
- Mounting wall sconces and track lighting systems
- Checking contacts and testing all lighting modes after connection
- Advice on the number and layout of fixtures, and dimmer compatibility
When you need this
- You've bought a new chandelier or fixtures that need hanging and wiring
- A renovation with a stretch or drywall ceiling — recessed fixtures need to go in before it's installed
- An old chandelier or fixture has failed or is physically damaged
- The chandelier has multiple bulbs that need to be split correctly across switch buttons
- You need accent lighting for a work area, staircase, or niche
- After installation, a fixture or chandelier doesn't turn on fully, flickers, or buzzes
How the work is done
Pricing
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| Chandelier installation, simple model (unit) | from 4,000 KZT |
| Complex chandelier, assembly/complexity billed separately (unit) | from 7,000 KZT |
| Light fixture/sconce installation at a ready point (unit) | from 3,500 KZT |
Cost depends on the weight and complexity of the chandelier or fixture, the ceiling type, and whether the connection point is already prepared.
Installing a chandelier looks straightforward, but in practice it depends on a few things: the ceiling type, the chandelier's weight, and how many buttons the switch has and how they need to be split across the bulbs. On a concrete ceiling, mounting is usually the most secure; on drywall, it's important to hit a structural element or use a load-rated anchor; on a stretch ceiling, mounting goes through a platform prepared in advance so the membrane isn't damaged.
For multi-bulb chandeliers and switches with several buttons, the wires need to be split so each button controls its own group of lights — otherwise some bulbs may not switch independently, or the chandelier may only work as a single all-or-nothing fixture.
With recessed and surface-mounted fixtures, it pays to decide on the number and layout before installation — redoing the wiring after a stretch ceiling or finished wall surface goes up is difficult and costly. The electrician can help calculate how many points you need for even lighting, based on wattage and beam angle, and check dimmer compatibility for LED fixtures with a built-in driver.
Heavier chandeliers need a more secure mount than light fixtures, and wet areas — bathrooms, showers, outdoor spaces — need fixtures with the right protection rating. Completed work carries a warranty of up to 3 years.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to connect a chandelier?
Installing a simple chandelier is from 4,000 KZT each. A complex chandelier — one that needs assembly, has many bulbs, or a non-standard mount — is from 7,000 KZT, with the exact price confirmed after inspection.
How much does it cost to install a light fixture or sconce?
Installing a light fixture or wall sconce at an already-prepared connection point is from 3,500 KZT each.
Can recessed lights be fitted into a stretch ceiling?
Yes — we fit mounting brackets and wire the fixtures both before and after the membrane is stretched, coordinating with the ceiling installation team's schedule. It's worth deciding on the number and layout of points in advance.
Why doesn't the chandelier turn on fully after installation — for instance, not all the bulbs?
This is usually down to how the wires are connected relative to the switch buttons. The electrician wires it so each button controls the correct group of bulbs.
What if a fixture buzzes or flickers?
Usually a loose connection, an incompatible dimmer, or a fault in the fixture itself — the electrician diagnoses the cause on site.
Do you install fixtures in wet areas — bathrooms, showers?
Yes, fixtures with the right protection rating (IP44 or higher) are used in those spots to avoid short circuits or housing damage from moisture.
