Ceiling fan installation in Shoreline often runs into the same problem: the 1950s and 60s ramblers in Hillwood, Ridgecrest, and Meridian Park were built with standard light boxes that were never meant to carry a fan's weight and motion, and some sit on ungrounded wiring. Store-bought fixtures usually assume a grounded, correctly rated box. Heavy chandeliers have the same issue. So before the new fixture goes up, we check what's in the ceiling, including the box, the support, and the wiring, and correct anything that isn't safe.
For ceiling fans we install a fan-rated box anchored to the framing, then add a speed control or separate switching if you want it. Chandeliers get a fixture-rated box that can carry the weight. Outside, we use weather-rated fixtures, wet-location boxes, and GFCI protection for sconces, security lights, and motion sensors placed to actually cover your entries and yard. New circuits or added switching are permitted through the City of Shoreline Building Department. We also install fixtures you've bought yourself, as long as they're listed and in good condition.
Let us know what you're installing and where, and we'll check the box, support, and switching before the fixture goes up. You'll end up with fixtures that are properly supported and switched where you want them. We can also handle smart lighting controls and LED conversions of old recessed cans while we're there. Call (206) 533-6333 to schedule fixture or ceiling fan installation in Shoreline.
Light Fixture Installation in Shoreline: Your Questions
Can you install a ceiling fan where my Shoreline home only has a light fixture?
Usually, yes. A ceiling fan needs a fan-rated box anchored to the framing, and the original light boxes in many older Shoreline homes won't hold a fan's weight or motion. We install the right box and support before the fan goes up.
Do you install light fixtures I bought myself?
Yes, as long as the fixture is listed and in good condition. We'll check the box, wiring, and support, fix anything that isn't safe, and install your fixture to code.
Can you add motion-sensor security lighting to my Shoreline home?
Yes. We install exterior security fixtures and motion-activated lighting on weather-rated, GFCI-protected circuits, placed to give real coverage of your entries, driveway, and yard, and switched or timed the way you want.
Do you install chandeliers and heavy fixtures?
Yes. We install fixture-rated boxes anchored to the framing to support heavy chandeliers, and we check the wiring and switch before the fixture goes up. A standard light box isn't rated for that weight.

REAL RESULTS.
"I had an incredible experience getting service done from All City Electric. I wanted to have some outlets fixed as well as install a Level 2 Charger. They were easy to schedule a time for an estimate and also for the service. The electrician came right on time for both appointments and was very respectful and sweet. Every team member was very kind and sweet and accommodating. I would highly recommend them for any future service needs you have!"

"I called All City Electric when my laundry room and living room lights would not turn off. If you tried to turn them off they flicker. Then 5 of my outlets either didn't work or things would fall out of them. I finally got sick of it and reached out explaining my situation. The gal that answered my call was very sweet and kind. Even when I called back the next day saying I forgot to write it down and wanted to confirm my appointment day and time. We had a good laugh. She made my day! Today, Kevin showed up on time and confirmed the problem and got to work right away. He was pleasant and kind during the entire process. He answered all my questions. Thank you to the entire staff and owner of All City Electric!! You will forever have my business. Please call if you have any issues. They are absolutely the best to work with!! Thank you again!!"
