Electrical Switch Repair & Installation
Electrical switches like those that control your lighting, fans, or other electrical appliances can wear out over time and will need to be replaced. Maybe you have an electrical switch that is no longer working or you’d like to upgrade your switches to smart controllers you can control from your smart phone? Electrical switches are an easy and affordable upgrade for any home or business.
Smart Light Switch Installations
Smart switch installation is becoming increasingly popular as homeowners embrace the convenience and efficiency of smart home technology. A smart switch, like its traditional counterpart, controls power to a device or fixture such as lights or fans. However, what sets a smart switch apart is its connectivity. It connects to your home's Wi-Fi network, enabling you to control your lights remotely using a smartphone or tablet. You can also integrate it into a home automation system, giving you the ability to manage your lighting in conjunction with other smart devices.
But smart switches do more than just turn lights on and off from your phone. They can be programmed to follow schedules, automate based on conditions such as sunrise or sunset, or even respond to your location, turning lights off when you leave home and back on when you return. Some models can even be operated through voice commands when paired with smart home assistants like Amazon's Alexa or Google Home.
The benefits of smart switches extend beyond mere convenience. They can help improve energy efficiency by ensuring lights aren't left on unnecessarily. For security, you can use them to make your home appear occupied when you're away. Additionally, they can contribute to creating the perfect ambiance at home with dimming capabilities and, in some cases, color temperature control. Overall, smart switches are a sophisticated addition to any modern home, contributing to comfort, convenience, and energy savings.

Questions About Switches?
We have a minimum call out charge of $200 for a scheduled appointment and an additional rough charge for a switch installation is $35-$60 depending on the switch.
The type of switch you need depends on your specific needs and the setup of your home. For instance, single-pole switches are great for controlling lights from one location, while three-way switches are ideal for controlling lights from two locations. If you want to control the brightness of your lights, dimmer switches would be best. We can help you assess your needs and recommend the most suitable type of switch for your home.
If you notice any irregularities such as sparking, humming sounds, or if your switch is warm to touch, it could indicate a problem. Also, if the switch doesn't turn on or off properly or if the lights flicker, it's likely time to have your switch replaced. Remember, it's always best to consult a professional electrician for safety reasons.
While some homeowners may feel comfortable with basic electrical tasks, we always recommend hiring a professional electrician. This ensures that the installation, replacement, or repair is done correctly, safely, and in compliance with all local and national electrical codes. In short, it's the safest way to go.
The time it takes can depend on various factors such as the type of switch, the location, and the existing wiring. Generally, a simple switch replacement can take us as little as an hour, while more complex jobs like installing a new switch in a new location can take a few hours.

We can consult with you to determine the best type of switch for each room in your home.
