FAQs

What types of electrical switches are available?

There are several types of electrical switches available, including single-pole switches, double-pole switches, three-way switches, four-way switches, dimmer switches, smart switches, and specialty switches. Each type serves a specific function, so it's essential to choose the right one for your needs.

How do I know which switch I need for my project?

The type of switch you need depends on the location and the control you want over the connected device. For example, a single-pole switch controls one light or fixture from a single location, while a three-way switch allows control from two different locations. Consulting with an electrician or referring to the project's electrical plan can help you make the right choice.

Can I install a dimmer switch with LED lights?

Yes, you can install a dimmer switch with LED lights, but it's important to make sure the dimmer switch is compatible with LED technology. Look for dimmers specifically designed for use with LED lights to ensure proper functionality and avoid flickering or limited dimming range.

How often should electrical switches be replaced?

Electrical switches generally have a long lifespan but should be replaced if they show signs of wear, such as not staying in position, making unusual sounds, or if they become warm to the touch. On average, consider assessing their condition every 10-15 years and replace them as needed.

What safety precautions should I follow when installing electrical switches?

Safety is paramount when installing electrical switches. Always turn off the power at the circuit breaker before beginning any work. Use a voltage tester to ensure the power is off, follow the manufacturer's instructions, and use appropriate tools and materials. If you're unsure or uncomfortable with the process, it's best to hire a licensed electrician.

Are smart switches worth the investment?

Smart switches can be a valuable investment due to their convenience and energy-saving potential. They allow remote control via smartphone apps, voice commands, and can integrate with other smart home devices for automation. While they cost more upfront, the added functionality and potential energy savings can make them worthwhile in the long run.

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

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.

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.
