How much does it cost to install a chandelier ?

Determing the chandelier installation cost without knowing its size or complexity is truly tough. We asked a local electrician about it, and initially he asked for Rs 400, but after seeing the size and other aspects like switch boards, wiring, and more, he asked for Rs 1200. One cannot state how much does it cost to hang a chandelier without considering some major aspects so let me share what they are here.

The cost to install a chandelier will depend on the:

• Type of chandelier you have (e.g., crystal, glass, metal), its size, and its weight. Larger and heavier chandeliers may require more labour and materials to install safely.

• If your ceiling is exceptionally high, it may require specialised equipment and expertise to install the chandelier, which can increase the cost.

• If there is no existing electrical wiring in the location where you want to hang the chandelier, you may need to hire an electrician to run new wiring and install a junction box or outlet. Electrical work can significantly increase the cost.

• The location of the chandelier installation can also affect the cost. Hanging a chandelier in a standard ceiling location may be less expensive than installing it in a more challenging or custom location.

• Hiring a professional electrician or installer is generally recommended for safety reasons. The cost of their labour will be a significant portion of the overall cost.

Usually it can be done within Rs 1,000 but it can be more or less as well. So consult with an electrician to know the exact labor cost to install chandelier.

Hey friend,

I was looking at chandelier cost online and I realised they can be very expensive to have in the house. You will need to consider the installation charges, maintenance charges, and the electricity bill that comes with it. Here, I want you to take a guess about the cost and write it in the comment section below. Do it! 

Chandeliers are available in various sizes and materials. The most basic option I could find online cost Rs.4000 for a small - 1 tier chandelier. A bigger three-tier chandelier can cost you about Rs. 70,000 or more. The material used dictates the price set. 

Chandelier cost in India includes the cost of lightbulbs. Normal bulbs cannot be used in a chandelier. You need to acquire lights of a specific size and light setting.  

If you wish to install a brand new chandelier, it will cost you around Rs. 5,000. The exact cost can only be found when the weight and details about the setup are revealed. I know people who paid Rs.21000 for their chandelier to be installed. 

Replacing old chandeliers costs less in comparison. In dollars, a simple replacement will cost you anything between $100 to $200. The most expensive chandelier is the Givenchy Royal Hanover German silver eight-light chandelier by William Kent. It was auctioned in London in 2011 for a whopping $9 million. 

This is all from my end on chandelier cost in India.
