The right fixtures set the mood, highlight your design choices, and make your home feel the way you want it to. But lighting and ceiling fan work isn't as simple as swapping out a bulb or mounting a bracket. Behind every fixture is wiring that needs to be done safely and correctly.
Swamp Rabbit Electric installs lighting and ceiling fans for homeowners and businesses across Greenville, SC and the Upstate. With over 20 years of electrical experience — including 16 years trained by top journeymen in New York City — we bring a level of craftsmanship to lighting work that you won't find from a handyman or a DIY YouTube tutorial.
Whether you're renovating a kitchen, building out a new home office, or just want to replace dated fixtures with something modern, we handle the full range of residential and commercial lighting installation in Greenville.
Clean, modern, and perfect for kitchens, living rooms, and hallways. We cut the openings, run the wiring, and install the housings and trim so everything sits flush and even.
These fixtures are heavier and require proper support and wiring. We make sure the junction box is rated for the weight, the wiring is secure, and the fixture hangs exactly where you want it.
A popular upgrade in kitchens and bathrooms. We hardwire under-cabinet LED strips or puck lights so there are no visible cords or plug-in adapters cluttering your countertops.
Ideal for highlighting artwork, shelving, or architectural features. We install and aim each head so the light lands where you need it.
Want to control the mood in your dining room or bedroom? We install dimmer switches compatible with your fixtures, including LED-compatible dimmers that won't buzz or flicker.
If your home still runs on older incandescent or fluorescent lighting, we can upgrade your fixtures to LED — saving you energy and reducing how often you're climbing a ladder to change bulbs.
Light up walkways, garden beds, and driveways for safety and curb appeal.
Motion-activated floodlights and security lights wired to keep your property well-lit after dark.
From wall sconces to overhead fans with light kits, we wire outdoor living spaces so you can enjoy them year-round.
Permanent fixtures for driveways and property lines that require proper underground wiring and weatherproof connections.
Ceiling fans are one of the most requested services we get — and one of the most commonly botched by DIYers and handymen. A ceiling fan that's improperly mounted can wobble, make noise, or worse, come loose from the ceiling entirely. Getting it right matters. Here's what professional ceiling fan installation from Swamp Rabbit Electric includes:
Not all junction boxes can support the weight and vibration of a ceiling fan. Standard light fixture boxes aren't rated for fans. We check your existing box and replace it with a fan-rated box if needed — this is the step most DIY installs skip, and it's the one that causes problems down the road.
If you're adding a ceiling fan where no fixture currently exists, we run new wiring from your electrical panel or the nearest circuit. This is especially common in rooms that only have a switched outlet and no overhead fixture.
We secure the fan to the ceiling support structure, balance the blades, and test the unit at every speed setting before we leave. No wobble, no noise, no callbacks.
If your fan has a built-in light kit, we can wire it so the fan and light operate on separate switches or a combination wall control — giving you full flexibility without pulling chains.
We install ceiling fans in every room of the house, including bedrooms, living rooms, covered porches, and screened-in patios. If you need an outdoor-rated fan for your porch or deck, we'll help you select the right unit for South Carolina's heat and humidity.
It's tempting to handle a light fixture swap or ceiling fan install yourself. But here's what can go wrong without a licensed electrician:
Loose connections, undersized wire, or improperly spliced circuits can overheat inside your walls or ceiling — and you may not know until it's too late.
Many homes in Greenville — especially in neighborhoods like North Main, Augusta Road, and Overbrook — have wiring that's 30 to 50+ years old. What looks like a simple fixture swap can turn into a more involved job when the existing wiring isn't up to current standards.
Certain lighting work, especially adding new circuits or wiring outdoor fixtures, may require a permit and inspection. We know the requirements in Greenville and Spartanburg County and handle the process when applicable.
We show up with the tools, materials, and experience to get your lighting or fan installed correctly in a single appointment — not spread across three weekends and two trips to the hardware store.
"Daniel came to my home for an estimate the day I reached out. He was professional, experienced and priced right. He installed a ceiling fan in an area that wasn't wired. My house was built in 1950 so it's a little more complicated than the newer ones but he did a beautiful job on the installation and completed the project in a short time while paying attention to every detail. I will definitely call Swamp Rabbit Electric again!"
"Dan arrived on time and completed the electrical scope in a timely fashion - my garage storage has never had this much light on it, and my spare bedroom finally has a working ceiling fan again! Thanks Dan!"
"Our nonprofit called Swamp Rabbit Electric to fix our broken outdoor security lighting. Daniel was professional, thorough, and found a lot of issues from a prior contractor. He diagnosed the issue, explained everything clearly, and got us up and running quickly. He was also very affordable. We would definitely call him again for any electrical or lighting needs."
We proudly serve homeowners and businesses in:
Whether you're searching for an electrician near you, emergency electrical repair, panel upgrades, EV charger installation, or lighting services in Greenville—you're in the right place.
A straightforward replacement of an existing fixture takes about one to two hours. If we need to install a new fan-rated junction box or run wiring to a location that doesn't currently have a fixture, it may take two to four hours.
Yes. We run new wiring and install a fan-rated junction box so you can add a fan to any room. This is a common request for bedrooms and living areas that only have switched outlets.
The cost depends on how many lights you're installing, whether we're working with an existing circuit or running a new one, and the accessibility of the ceiling space above. We provide a clear price before starting any work.
If you're doing a one-for-one swap on a fixture that's already wired and mounted, it can be a simple job. But if the new fixture is heavier, requires different wiring, or the existing box isn't rated for the load, you'll want a licensed electrician to handle it safely.
Absolutely. We install damp-rated and wet-rated ceiling fans on covered porches, patios, and screened-in areas. Outdoor fans need to be rated for moisture exposure, and the wiring must be weatherproof — both things we handle as part of the install.
Yes. We install smart switches, smart dimmers, and smart-compatible fixtures. If your home's wiring includes a neutral wire at the switch box (most modern homes do), smart switches are a straightforward upgrade. If not, we can recommend options that work without a neutral.
