About this service
A junction box is a specific type of enclosure used to safely join different wires together. It acts as a secure meeting point so that all electrical connections remain protected from dust, moisture, and physical damage. If you are adding a new light fixture or extending a circuit, you will likely need to install or access a junction box. These must be accessible and covered per safety codes. We can handle these installations, with exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
