Charlottesville Chandeliers Frequently Ask Questions
How high should a chandelier hang above a table or floor?
The general rule of thumb is to hang a chandelier 30 to 36 inches above a dining table if you have 8-foot ceilings. For higher ceilings, add about 3 inches for each additional foot. When installing a chandelier in an open space like a foyer or living room, aim to keep at least 7 feet of clearance from the floor to the bottom of the fixture to ensure both style and safety.
But here’s the catch—chandelier placement isn’t one-size-fits-all. Room size, ceiling height, and fixture weight all play a role. That’s why our licensed electricians at Just Better Home Services take the guesswork out of the equation. We’ll assess your space and install your chandelier with both aesthetics and electrical safety in mind. If you’re upgrading or moving a fixture, we can also rewire and reinforce ceiling mounts as needed.
Can I install a chandelier where there was just a regular light fixture?
Yes—but it’s not as simple as swapping one for the other. Chandeliers are often heavier and require more support than a standard ceiling light. You may need to upgrade your ceiling junction box, adjust wiring for dimmer compatibility, and ensure the ceiling structure can safely handle the new fixture’s weight.
This is exactly where our team at Just Better Home Services comes in. We provide professional chandelier installations that are code-compliant, secure, and customized to your home. Whether you’re replacing a basic light or planning a brand-new chandelier install, we’ll make sure everything is done safely and beautifully.
Do I need a dimmer switch for my chandelier?
While not required, dimmer switches are a popular upgrade for chandeliers. They let you adjust brightness based on the time of day, mood, or activity—perfect for dining rooms, bedrooms, or even entryways where you want ambiance without overpowering light. However, not all chandeliers and bulbs are dimmer-compatible, so it’s important to check your system before installing one.
At Just Better Home Services, we help homeowners create the perfect lighting setup. Our electricians can install dimmer switches that match your fixture type, bulb choice, and room needs—whether you’re going for cozy or classic. We also make sure your electrical wiring supports the dimmer safely and efficiently.
