Tall ceilings, stairways, and multi-story foyers present unique challenges for electrical work. O’Hagan Electric has the equipment, experience, and safety protocols to handle electrical installations and repairs at any height in your Orange County home. From chandelier installations above staircases to smoke detectors on 20-foot ceilings, we bring professional scaffolding and safety equipment to get the job done right.
Working at height requires more than a tall ladder. Our electricians are trained in fall protection and use professional scaffolding, baker scaffolds, and extension platforms to safely reach ceilings up to 30+ feet. We never compromise on safety — if a standard ladder won’t provide a stable, secure work platform, we bring scaffolding. This is especially important for heavy fixtures like chandeliers and ceiling fans that require two hands and secure footing to install properly.
Chandeliers in foyers, stairways, and great rooms often hang from ceilings 15-30 feet high. We set up scaffolding, verify the junction box can support the fixture weight, and safely install and wire your chandelier.
Vaulted and cathedral ceilings need special mounting hardware and downrods for ceiling fans. We install fans at any height with proper balancing and secure attachment to rated electrical boxes.
Testing and replacing smoke detectors on high ceilings is a routine need that requires safe access. We replace batteries, swap old detectors, and install new hardwired units at any height.
We install and service recessed lights in vaulted ceilings, stairwells, and tall rooms where ladder access is limited or unsafe.
Safety is our top priority at every height:
Falls from ladders are one of the leading causes of home injury. Many Orange County homes feature vaulted ceilings, two-story foyers, and tall stairways that are dangerous to access without proper equipment. Hiring a licensed electrician with professional scaffolding eliminates the risk of DIY ladder accidents and ensures your fixtures are installed securely at any height. It’s not worth the risk to balance on a ladder with a heavy chandelier in your hands.
