Electrician recommendation?
 

Hello, We are in need of an CERTIFIED electrician. We need to have lights put in our ceiling.
1. Replace the lights in the kitchen and dining area
2. When replacing these, move where the fixture located.
3. Our fixture buzzes now so we need more wattage(?) to handle the
lights that are now on a dimmer.
Please let us know who to use or not use.
Thank you,
Deb

We are happy with Lenhart.

Lenhart Electrical from Wildwood. Just did a great job for me.

Lenhart can do everything you need. They moved our DR chandelier 18" last year and we were then able to close up the original hole in the ceiling because they pulled the original wire into the new box.

As for your question on the lights, please consider dimmable LED bulbs. We have had these installed for over 2 years and they are great. If you want/need more light, consider the bright white colored LEDS. You can use the CONVENTIONAL LED 60 watt or larger bulbs in the ceiling fixtures with great results, and maybe you will not need to move the fixtures.
NOTE: you will see and can install 'special LED fixtures', IMHO these are not necessary. The conventional LEDs do not have restrictions on how they are mounted, and create much less heat. We used CREE bulbs from Lowes, and I would highly recommend these, but I see now that there are several other manufacturers, including a GE LED (led stick?) that looks very interesting, and they are priced at 3 for $10 which is very attractive.
The original lights in TV are 130 volt incandescent bubs. Operating a 130 volt bulb at 120 volts or slightly less, gives you a bulb that will last a very long time but is DIM, the use of LEDS is the difference between night and day. Also, the loading on your dimmers will be much lower, and the buzzing should stop completely.
Hope this helps.

Another vote for Lenhart!

Did what you suggested
 

I am mostly a lurker on TOTV. Followed your suggestions and replaced 3 light bulbs today. It makes a world of difference! One question I have: My house is about 25 years old. When I took down the globes, the insulation between the bulbs and the ceiling had disintegrated. I removed it. Do I need to replace the insulation? What I have now is an LED bulb sitting about 1/2 inch from the metal mount on the ceiling. Hope this is clear. Thanks.

Dear lurker,
I am not sure what insulation you are talking about. I have seen additional insulation installed between the wires and the housing. If this is what you are talking about, yes it should be replaced. If you are not comfortable doing this, I remember seeing some discussion able people that would rewire lamps.
Glad you like the LEDs, the difference is amazing.
