Below we are providing detailed steps so that you can install your chandelier easily but it is always preferable to get an expert electrician help from G3 electric if you want to install heavy fixture in your home.
(Turn
off your power supply)
·
Find
the electrical panel situated in your home
·
Turn
off the power of the particular room where you wanted to install the
chandelier.
·
As
a precautionary measure turn on your light or fan to check your room has got no
electricity.
(Prepare
your ceiling electrical box)
·
Remove
any previously connected appliances like fan or light from the ceiling box.
·
Check
the wires properly coming out of the ceiling box.
·
Check
whether the ceiling box is connected securely to the ceiling and can support
the chandelier weight.
(Assembling
the chandelier)
·
Most
of the chandelier comes pre-assembled but it is wise to check whether yours is
assembled or not.
·
If
assembled properly remove your light bulbs from the chandelier as you will
screw them at the end as some fluctuations may damage your bulb.
(Determine
the length of chain)
·
Use
a tape measure to determine the length of chandelier
·
The
ideal height ranges between 30 to 36 inches over a table with an 8 foot
ceiling.
·
For
each additional foot over 8 foot add 3 inches.
·
Cut
off or remove the excess chain which makes it too wrong.
(Attaching
the chandelier)
·
Install
the chandelier mounting bracket to top of the ceiling
·
Take
the hook at the end of the chandelier and put it into the bracket provided.
·
Fix
the mounting stem into the existing mounting bracket.
(Connecting
the wires)
·
Check
the condition of wire
·
Use
your wire stripper to cut the damaged ends and strip off the insulated covering
from the wires
·
Connect
the black ceiling wire from the circuit to the blick wire in the chandelier and
twist them.
·
Do
the same with white wire neutral wire.
·
Put
all the left wire inside the canopy of the chandelier or ceiling box and close
the lid.
(Insert
the bulbs)
·
Now
insert the bulbs which you took out.
·
Some
chandeliers are pre-installed so you can skip this step.
Switch
on your power supply, then the switch. Your chandelier starts to glow.
Follow
the above-mentioned steps properly and you won’t face any hurdle in installing heavy chandelier. If you
