FAQs
Is the lighting installation planner a fixed quote?
No. The lighting installation planner is a planning aid. A final quote depends on testing, access, materials and safety requirements.
Should I still call an electrician?
Yes. If the lighting installation planner relates to heat, burning smell, repeated tripping, exposed damage, water near electrics or uncertainty, call an electrician.
