How to install ceiling light Videos

Do you work for "Do It Again Electric"?

How much would this normally cost to have someone install a new light fixture?

Pretty long video but at least I learnt how its done in US. You guys built houses in funny way. My question is, can I do such work on my own in my own house or do I need to call some inspector and get the job approved?

What was the song that was played at the beginning of the video?

I am trying to wire a new ceiling fan from scratch to a switch that controls an outlet in the same room...when taking out the switch(single pole) there was one black wire on one side and one white on the other and the ground wasn't connected...I decided to go with a single pole 2 switch. So this is where the problem arises...I connect the existing black to one side on the bottom switch and the existing white to the opposite side...the outlet across the room works the same...but then I wired the black wire from the fan to the top switch above the existing black wire and the white to the other side...just like the other switch...(and the ground to the ground) and no power to the fan...the top switch is connected with the bridge from the lower black wire...I talked to an electrician and he said that I don't even need the white(neutral) from the fan...he said cap it off..I'm confused...I even tried wiring the white in junction with another white from another outlet...(basically spliced into it) and all kinds of craziness happened....the fan only turned on when the light was on in the outlet and it only operated at half the speed...I looked up wiring diagrams but can't seem to find the correct one...can anyone help????

Awesome! What would be the general cost for a job such as this if I had a professional do it for me?

Wow! That's really good work. How much does a job like that cost? I would like to install a ceiling light from scratch just like shown in the video. Wish I can hire you to do the job.

Very through, except for the part where the fixture gets wired up....nice up to showing the final product without showing what wires go where. For instance, the 'traveler' wire, recoded black...where does that go? 

Great video! perfectly explains install and perfectly executed!

Yes! I have the WORST ceiling fans in my 1979 home, I can't wait ti change them all out :-)

Very helpful!

You are awesome!! Thanks for all of the great video's!

Thanks, Leah! Very helpful, again!

Thanks so much for this! It can help me a lot!

What if you encounter other hot and neutral wires that are pigtailed together that were NOT attached to the old fixture? Say you have a single bulb fixture that will be replacing the old single bulb fixture - white to white, black to black, but there are also two other sets of wires that were caped together and were not attached to the old fixture. Im assuming those are for something else and should be left alone. You wouldn't de-cap them and tie them into the new fixture would you?

+seejanedrill +Leah Bolden will this same procedure work for a ceiling fan? Thanks. 

awesome video very clear and easy to understand for a rookie like myself...Thanks

Love watching your videos. Instructions and audio are clear and I really feel like I will be able to do this, the minor drywall repairs, and the caulking after watching your videos (several times each). My supplies are being gathered and the 'moment of truth' will be coming soon.

As this video and the associated videos provide clear and basic information, you are showing how to install a ceiling fixture in an opening far larger than the light box. Boxes need to be flush and tight with the sheetrock. Sheetrock is a fire barrier and when tight with the box will contain a short and keep sparks from entering the ceiling space above. Your video ignores this most basic safety compliance issue. If the light fixture shorts a fire will occur in the ceiling space above.

Now I like that. Where can I get one of those kits? 

I am grateful for your suggestions and am keeping these in a folder. I do want to add to the concern about the "energy saving" light bulbs. The packaging is excessive to protect should one of these bulbs break in the store. The light is harsh and changes the colour of items in the home. I use full spectrum bulbs that provide a light like sunshine.
