How much should I expect to pay in Toronto to have a replacement ceiling light fixture installed by an electrician?

This is the fixture that I have purchased: http://www.eglo.com/eglo_global/Products-Canada/Main-Collections/Interior-Lighting/CONDRADA-1/92726A

Comments from people who have installed this fixture say it takes about 30 minutes to install.

You are looking at 30-40mins for installation and 1Hr Labour ($150) for the install.

Hello,

The reality is, even if it takes 5 mins. to install, you should expect to pay a minimum rate.

Probably somewhere around $120, for a licensed electrician.

This is the issue with light fixtures, you never really know what to expect before you get there and get into it.

I think a typical flat rate for Toronto would be $100 to $200 for any fixture install.

Now if there are issues such as parking, condo / apartment access, messed up box or wires you can to expect to have an adder / extra to the fee.

Cheers,

Thanks for your replies. People have been quoting a lot higher $300 seems typical so I guess I need to look around further.
