FAQs
What kinds of electrical switches can Dependable Performance Electrical install or replace in Soddy-Daisy?
Our licensed electricians work with virtually every switch style found in homes and small businesses, including standard single-pole and three-way light switches, dimmers, four-way controls, combination fan/light switches, GFCI-protected switches for wet areas, and the latest Wi-Fi or Z-Wave smart switches. No matter the brand or model, we can source, install, or upgrade it to meet Soddy-Daisy and Hamilton County electrical codes.
How can I tell if a light switch is failing and needs professional replacement?
Common warning signs include crackling or popping sounds when the toggle is moved, noticeable heat on the switch plate, flickering lights, inconsistent operation, or a switch that feels loose or wobbly. Discoloration, a burning odor, or visible sparks are urgent red flags. If you notice any of these symptoms, turn off the circuit breaker if it is safe to do so and schedule service right away—continuing to use a faulty switch can result in arcing, fire hazards, or damage to connected fixtures.
Are smart switches compatible with the existing wiring in my Soddy-Daisy home, and can you install them?
In most cases, yes. Most modern smart switches require a neutral wire in the switch box and standard 120-V wiring. During our on-site assessment we verify conductor size, box volume, and grounding, then recommend devices that match your panel’s capacity and communication preference (Wi-Fi, Zigbee, or Z-Wave). We can retrofit older homes, add neutral conductors if needed, and set up companion apps or voice-assistant integrations so you can start controlling lights from your phone the same day.
What does switch replacement or installation typically cost and how long will the job take?
For a straightforward like-for-like replacement, labor usually takes 20–40 minutes per switch and costs between $85 and $120, including standard parts. Specialty dimmers and smart switches average $45–$90 extra per unit. If we have to enlarge the box, run new wiring, or add a neutral, time can extend to 1–2 hours and costs range from $175–$250. We provide a firm, up-front quote before work begins, and all pricing includes cleanup, disposal of old devices, and a one-year workmanship warranty.
Why hire a licensed electrician instead of performing a switch replacement myself?
Even a seemingly simple switch swap involves working with live conductors that can cause shock, burns, or house fires if improperly handled. Licensed electricians understand local code requirements, ensure proper grounding and box fill, and use torque-tested connections that prevent loose wires and arcing. We also test circuits with calibrated meters and label panels accurately, giving you peace of mind, preserving your home insurance coverage, and protecting the resale value of your property.
