Why Chandelier Rewiring Is Necessary
Chandeliers — especially antique and vintage pieces — were wired for incandescent bulbs and older electrical standards that predate current NEC requirements. The internal wiring runs through metal arms and bodies that can degrade the wire insulation over time through heat and vibration. A dead socket on one arm is often the first sign that the entire fixture's wiring is due for replacement. We assess every arm, canopy, and connection point before any work begins.
The Rewiring Process
Rewiring a chandelier requires fully disassembling the fixture, removing all old wiring, and threading new UL-listed fixture wire through each arm and the central column. We replace every socket, clean and inspect all metal components, and reassemble the fixture before reinstalling it. For crystal chandeliers, we document the arrangement before disassembly and restore it precisely so your fixture looks exactly as intended.
Modern Upgrades During Rewiring
When we have a chandelier fully disassembled, it's the ideal time to upgrade to candelabra LED sockets, add a dimmer-compatible wiring configuration, or convert from a plug-in pendant to a hardwired installation. We discuss your options before the job begins so the finished product is exactly what you need.
