Expert Chandelier Installation in Hawthorn – Heritage Home Electricians
A Hawthorn homeowner recently asked Kenner Electrics to install two stunning crystal chandeliers in their single-storey Victorian home, complete with colourful decorative ceiling roses and ornate features. These candelabra-style fittings weren’t your average lights—they each weighed around 20kg and came disassembled, ready for expert attention. For such a detailed and delicate installation, it was important to not only get the aesthetic right, but also ensure the fittings were securely and safely mounted.
After quoting the job and inspecting the site, we knew this one would need a bit more than just a ladder and a screwdriver. While no scaffolding was required, our electricians prepared in advance by sourcing specific fixings and structural components from our suppliers before the job. On the day, we removed the existing lightweight lights and installed large timber blocks between the ceiling rafters, fixed with heavy-duty bolts to support the weight of each chandelier. A strong suspension chain was run through the ceiling to a mounting point below the ceiling rose, and each chandelier was carefully assembled and connected by hand.
Safe and Professional Chandelier Installation for Statement Lighting
Installing a chandelier is a lot more involved than hanging a standard light fitting. These large, decorative lights often require custom structural support, precise electrical connections, and coordination with your interior design vision. At Kenner Electrics, we bring the experience and care needed to make sure your statement light is not just beautiful—but also safe, secure and built to last. Once installed, we tested and commissioned the system, and made a small adjustment for the customer by swapping one globe to incandescent so they could compare light colour.
If you're investing in a feature piece like a chandelier, it deserves to be professionally installed by someone you trust. Our team takes care of every detail—from ceiling supports to final positioning—to make sure your chandelier becomes a true centrepiece in your Melbourne home. We’ll even work with you to get the perfect hanging height and light output for your space, whether it’s a dining room, entryway, or stairwell void.
Planning a Chandelier for Your Home? Here's What to Know
When choosing the right chandelier, think about the scale of the space, the height of the ceiling, and the function of the room. A large stairwell or entry may call for a bold, cascading fitting, while a dining room chandelier should hang low enough to create impact without blocking the view. LED lamps are a great choice for both energy efficiency and reduced maintenance—especially in high or hard-to-reach areas.
Safety is a key part of any chandelier installation. If your fitting is heavy, we’ll assess the roof structure and install any necessary supports before proceeding. For homes with particularly high ceilings or stairwells, we can also arrange scaffolding or access equipment. No matter how complex the job, we’ve got it covered.
