FAQs
What safety certifications do your electrical switches meet?
All of our electrical switches carry UL (Underwriters Laboratories) and ETL (Intertek) certifications, which verify that each model has passed rigorous third-party testing for electrical safety, fire resistance, and mechanical durability. In addition, our premium series meets IEC 61058 standards and is RoHS compliant, ensuring materials are free of hazardous substances.
How do your switches reduce the risk of electrical fires?
Each switch incorporates self-extinguishing thermoplastic housings, silver-alloy contacts that minimize arcing, and built-in arc-suppression chambers. The terminals feature captive pressure plates that maintain a secure, vibration-proof connection, preventing heat build-up that can lead to fire. We also integrate thermal-cutoff links in selected models that disconnect the circuit if abnormal temperatures are detected.
Are the switches suitable for both residential and commercial applications in Riceville?
Yes. Our product line ranges from 15-amp decorator switches for homes to 30-amp industrial-grade toggles and illuminated rocker switches for restaurants, workshops, and light-manufacturing facilities. Every model is rated for 120/277 V operation, allowing safe use in common single- and two-phase systems found throughout Riceville’s residential and commercial buildings.
Do you provide professional installation and safety inspections?
Absolutely. We partner with licensed, insured electricians based in Riceville who can handle everything from single-room replacements to full-building retrofits. During installation, each circuit is megger-tested for insulation integrity, torque-checked for proper terminal tightening, and labeled for future maintenance. Post-installation, we offer annual NFPA 70B–compliant inspections at a reduced rate for all switch customers.
How do your switches comply with Riceville and Tennessee electrical codes?
Our design and documentation teams stay up to date with the latest National Electrical Code (NEC 2023) as adopted by Tennessee, as well as any city-specific amendments enforced by Riceville’s Building & Codes Department. All switches include clear NEC article references, conductor sizing charts, and AFCI/GFCI compatibility notes in the installation manual, simplifying permit approval and inspector sign-off.
What warranty and customer support do you offer?
We provide a limited lifetime warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship when our switches are installed according to the supplied instructions. Should a failure occur, we offer free replacement or equivalent credit. Our Riceville support center is available by phone, email, and live chat Monday–Saturday, and replacement units ship same-day on confirmed warranty claims.
