Can I install a ceiling light myself without existing wiring?

You can DIY a ceiling light only if a switched power cable already exists at a sturdy, fixture‑rated ceiling box. If there’s no wiring, new cable runs, a switch, and load checks are needed, which should be done by a qualified pro for safety and code compliance in Indianapolis or Carmel homes.

Quick checks:

• Turn power off at the breaker.
• Confirm a metal or plastic fixture‑rated box is firmly attached to framing.
• Verify hot, neutral, and ground are present and intact.
