FAQs
What types of sophisticated switches and electrical fixtures do you offer in Jamestown?
Our Jamestown showroom and warehouse stock a full range of modern switching solutions, including touch-sensitive glass plate switches, Wi-Fi and Z-Wave smart dimmers, occupancy and vacancy sensors, scene controllers, and low-profile designer toggle and rocker switches. We also carry coordinated fixtures such as matching screwless wall plates, smart receptacles, USB-A/USB-C charging outlets, and decorative LED sconces, allowing homeowners and commercial clients to create a cohesive, technology-forward look throughout any space.
Are your smart switches compatible with the existing wiring found in older Jamestown homes?
Yes. Most of our smart switches are designed to fit standard U.S. single-gang wall boxes and work with common 120-volt line-neutral wiring. For pre-1965 homes that may lack a neutral conductor, we stock specifically engineered no-neutral smart switches that use a small internal power reserve or the ground wire. During a free site visit, our technicians verify wiring conditions and recommend the appropriate model, so retrofit projects rarely require major rewiring.
Do your sophisticated switches require professional installation, and do you offer that service in Jamestown?
While many devices are rated for DIY installation, we strongly recommend professional setup to guarantee code compliance, optimized network performance, and warranty protection. Our licensed electricians—based locally in Jamestown—can handle everything from single-gang replacements to whole-home smart upgrades. Service includes removal of old switches, wiring verification, secure mounting, system pairing, and a walkthrough on using the companion app or voice controls.
How energy-efficient are your smart switches and fixtures?
Smart dimmers and sensors can reduce lighting energy consumption by 25–60% by automatically turning lights off in unoccupied rooms, lowering light levels when full brightness is unnecessary, and tracking usage patterns. Our LED fixtures draw up to 80% less power than incandescent or halogen alternatives. Many models are ENERGY STAR® certified and qualify for Jamestown Board of Public Utilities rebate programs, further lowering your total cost of ownership.
Can your switches integrate with popular home-automation platforms like Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit?
Absolutely. We carry lines that natively support Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings, and IFTTT. For enterprise or multitenant installations, we also provide switches compatible with Control4, Crestron, and KNX. During installation, our team can link the devices to your existing hub or set up a new, secure Zigbee, Z-Wave, or Thread network so you can control lighting scenes, schedules, and energy reports directly from your preferred voice assistant or smartphone.
What kind of warranty and after-sales support do you provide to Jamestown customers?
All sophisticated switches and fixtures come with a manufacturer’s warranty of 2–5 years, covering defects in materials and workmanship. When you purchase through our Jamestown store, we extend an additional one-year labor warranty on any installation work we perform. Our local support team offers phone, email, and on-site troubleshooting, plus free firmware updates for connected devices. If a product fails within the warranty period, we handle the RMA process and provide a loaner switch so your lighting remains operational.
