FAQs

What types of electrical switches are available for residential use in Chattanooga?

In Chattanooga, you can find various types of electrical switches for residential use, including single-pole, double-pole, three-way, four-way, dimmer switches, smart switches, and specialty switches like motion sensors. Each type is suited for specific applications, ensuring you have the right control over your home lighting.

How do I choose the right electrical switch for my home?

Choosing the right electrical switch depends on your needs and the specific application. Single-pole switches are used for simple on/off control; three-way and four-way switches are for controlling lights from multiple locations; dimmer switches adjust lighting levels, and smart switches offer remote control and automation. It’s also crucial to consider the switch's compatibility with your existing wiring and the type of load (e.g., incandescent, CFL, LED) it will control.

Can I install electrical switches myself, or should I hire a professional?

While some simple switch replacements can be done by DIY enthusiasts with basic electrical knowledge, it's often safer and more reliable to hire a licensed electrician for installing or upgrading electrical switches. This ensures compliance with local electrical codes and reduces the risk of safety hazards.

What are the benefits of upgrading to smart switches?

Smart switches offer numerous benefits, including remote control via smartphone apps, voice control integration with smart home systems (e.g., Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant), energy monitoring, and the ability to automate lighting schedules. This enhances convenience, energy efficiency, and security in your home.

Are there any energy-efficient options for electrical switches?

Yes, dimmer switches and smart switches can help improve energy efficiency. Dimmers allow you to reduce the brightness of your lights, thereby saving energy. Smart switches often come with features like scheduling and automation, enabling you to use lights only when needed and avoid wastage, contributing to overall energy savings.

What should I do if an electrical switch stops working or feels warm to the touch?

If an electrical switch stops working or feels unusually warm, it could indicate a wiring issue or faulty switch, which can be a potential fire hazard. It's important to turn off the power to the switch at the circuit breaker and contact a licensed electrician in Chattanooga to inspect and repair or replace the switch promptly.

What our customers say

Josh Butler was very professional and responsive. He replaced my faulty breaker switch in under 15 minutes. He waited around to make sure that there were no other issues that needed to be addressed before leaving. He made sure that the area around my water heater and circuit panel were clean.

Ric Hoeg was our service tech. He was professional, courteous, on time, & accessed our electrical problem thoroughly. He told me what I needed to get, where to get it & at the best price. He completed the job & made a few suggestions for future reference. It is so nice to have someone who still takes pride in their work & their job!!! Thank you, Ric!

Was polite and quick and got the job done perfect and also let me know what else is going to be needed down the road. Even took a minute to show me how a multimeter works

HEP came to my rescue in January with two service calls on the same day technician Zapl did a professional and quick job repairing a switch connection and technician Shawn Z skillfully lit the pilot light on gas logs. Both technicians arrived on time and followed the current CDC guidelines. But before the work began, a wonderful and caring service customer service person, Jackie, helped me with scheduling and offered me the Loyal Customer program. Thank you HEP

Ric,Ryan, James,Dan,Tommy and Jimmy were the ones that did the work to my home. I can honestly say these guys not only did an excellent job but were so helpful in getting me what i needed done the fast way possible. They all went above and beyond for my family and I. The electrical issues I had with my home was horrible. Ric and Ryan eased my mind and helped me make a very difficult decision on how to proceed in getting the issues fixed. If it hadn't been for these two making me feel comfortable and feel lie I could trust them I might have looked at other options. So thank you both for explaining things to me and showing me first hand how important it was for to get this fixed ASAP. You guys (all of them) all the best. Thank you for all your hard work. I would recommend you guys to anyone.
