We repair and install light fixtures, controls and their connections. Get help with flickering lights, failed fixtures, unresponsive switches or a planned new lighting project.
HVAC & Appliance Repair Guys repairs and installs lighting in Portland Metro, Oregon. We help with dark fixtures, flickering LEDs, unreliable switches and dimmers, failed drivers and lighting circuits that lose power. Diagnosis separates a problem in the fitting or control from an interruption in the wiring supplying it.
Whether you need an existing light repaired or a different fixture installed, we review the equipment, mounting and electrical connection before defining the work. Tell us which lights are affected, how they are controlled and whether the problem followed a lamp, fixture or dimmer change. Leave electrical covers and connections intact.
Leave your name and number. We’ll contact you to discuss your needs and the next steps.

One light is dark. The assessment considers the lamp or integrated LED assembly, socket, driver, controls and supply. A fixture with a replaceable lamp presents different repair choices from an integrated fitting whose light source is part of the assembly. Darkness alone does not establish that the whole fixture needs replacement.
Flicker or inconsistent dimming. Describe whether the problem occurs at all settings, only at low output or after the lights have been operating. The lamp or driver and dimmer need to work together. A component marked dimmable is not automatically compatible with every dimming control, and replacing a dimmer without checking the selected lighting may leave the behavior unchanged.
Buzzing or delayed response. Note whether the sound comes from the fixture or control, and whether the light starts normally. Those observations help define the assessment; do not open the fitting or continue operating it to provoke the symptom. Heat damage, burning odors or sparking need prompt attention rather than repeated operation.
Several lights stop together. A shared circuit or switching fault can affect several sound fixtures. We distinguish that pattern from an individual light-source failure before proposing a group of replacements. Mention any other lights or outlets already known to be affected.
The repair can involve a switch, dimmer, socket, LED driver, fixture or its connections. The selected component must suit the fixture design and operating requirements. Similar shape, color or wattage does not establish that a driver or control is the correct electrical match.
For an integrated LED fitting, ask whether the failed component is serviceable and available for the exact assembly. Some designs support a component repair; others need a replacement assembly. The recommendation should explain that choice in terms of the fixture's condition and parts support instead of assuming every LED fitting is disposable or universally repairable.
Mounting and location matter as well as electrical compatibility. A heavy fitting, a high ceiling or a location exposed to moisture can change the support, access and equipment requirements. Describe these conditions while planning the visit so the work addresses the installed arrangement, not just the lamp visible from below.
The diagnostic service call is $99. This charge is credited toward the total repair price if you approve the repair. If you decline, the diagnostic charge remains payable.
A switch or accessible fixture repair differs from a driver replacement, high fixture access or concealed wiring work. New lighting locations and circuit changes are priced for their own installation scope.
We explain the diagnosis, recommended work and repair price before you approve the repair. If parts must be ordered, we explain the next step.
A replacement at an existing lighting point is different from adding a new fixture location. The estimate should identify the fitting, supports, switch arrangement and connection work, and explain whether new cable or circuit changes are needed.
For a new room layout, start with what the light must do: illuminate the working area, provide general light or serve a particular location. Fixture position and control access affect daily use. Decide where the lights will be operated before assuming the old switching arrangement will suit the new installation.
If you have already selected a fixture, provide its model and available instructions. We review the design against the intended location and mounting. A fitting that suits the room visually still needs a suitable electrical connection and support. Any wall or ceiling opening and finish-restoration work should be clear in the proposal.
For lights operated from more than one location, describe the existing control arrangement and how you want the replacement to work. The selected switches, dimmers or other controls must suit that arrangement. A control intended for a different configuration may not provide the expected operation even when it fits the wall opening.
When comparing a component repair with a replacement fixture, consider the complete result. Retaining the fitting may preserve its appearance and mounting, but depends on a suitable serviceable component. Replacing it can change the support, control compatibility and amount of light in the room. Discuss those consequences rather than comparing a driver price with a fixture price alone.
Changes to a group of lights should be planned as a group where they share a control. A single replacement may behave differently from the retained lamps or drivers. Provide the selected fixture models together so compatibility and the desired everyday operation can be reviewed before the installation scope is settled.
A lighting fault that follows water exposure also needs the affected electrical arrangement assessed. A dry cover or a light that starts working again does not, by itself, establish that normal operation is appropriate.
A sound fixture cannot operate correctly without a suitable supply and connections. When several lights or devices share the complaint, the investigation may extend beyond the fitting to the relevant circuit. Electrical troubleshooting and wiring repair address those wider findings.
Keep the original symptom and the confirmed finding distinct. A new fixture may improve appearance without correcting an intermittent circuit connection. Conversely, a verified lamp or driver fault does not automatically justify rewiring the room. The proposal should show what each part of the work is intended to correct.
At completion, review operation using the controls and lighting included in the job. For dimmed lighting, the intended range and normal response should be understood together. Any retained fixture or unassessed circuit area remains outside a device-only repair unless the scope includes it.

Does a flickering LED always need a new fixture?
No. A lamp, driver, dimmer compatibility issue or connection fault can produce flicker. We test the relevant components before proposing a fixture replacement.
Can you replace a failed integrated LED driver?
We assess whether the driver is a serviceable, available component for that fixture. Some fittings need an assembly replacement instead.
Can a dimmer be used with any LED light?
No. The dimmer, lamp or driver must be compatible. We check the selected equipment and load rather than assuming every dimmable label uses the same control.
What information helps when an LED problem began after an upgrade?
Identify the lamps or fixture and the dimmer already installed, and explain what changed. An existing model label or purchase record can help review compatibility without opening the equipment.
Does fixture installation include repairing the ceiling finish?
Only when the agreed scope includes that work. New locations, concealed routes and different mounting arrangements can require openings; the estimate should distinguish the electrical installation from surrounding finish restoration.

Customer experiences
Selected Google reviews from our customers.
“Attempted to diagnose a light switch that would not work intermittently, but was not able to re-create the issue during inspection. Technician changed the light switch and no additional problems are reported. Hopefully, this will fix the issue. Technician arrived on time and was very quick with the repair.”
“Anton was great. I scheduled a visit at 9pm for the next day at 2. He arrived early and promptly identified the issue and provided some great advice and feedback.”
“He did such a wonderful job! He was able to figure out what the issue was and solve against it, after another repair person missed the issue. Highly recommend!”
