FAQs
What types of electrical switches can Trusted Electrical Solutions install in Andersonville homes or businesses?
Our licensed electricians handle the full spectrum of switch options, including standard single-pole and three-way light switches, dimmer switches, fan-speed controls, combination devices, GFCI and AFCI safety switches, timer switches, and the latest Wi-Fi–enabled smart switches. We source products from trusted brands such as Lutron, Leviton, and Eaton to ensure durability, safety, and compatibility with existing wiring.
How can I tell if my current light switches need to be repaired or replaced?
Common warning signs include warm or hot switch plates, crackling or buzzing sounds, flickering lights, intermittent power, or a stiff/loose toggle. Discoloration and sparking when you flip the switch also indicate potential arcing. Because faulty switches can overheat and pose a fire risk, schedule an inspection as soon as you notice any of these symptoms.
Do you install smart switches that work with Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit?
Yes. We regularly install and program smart switches that integrate with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings, and other automation hubs. During our on-site consultation we’ll review your Wi-Fi strength, neutral-wire availability, and preferred control platform to recommend compatible models and set up voice commands, schedules, and remote access through your smartphone.
Are your electricians licensed and familiar with Andersonville’s building codes?
Absolutely. All of our technicians hold Illinois journeyman or master electrician licenses and receive ongoing training in the latest NEC (National Electrical Code) updates as well as Chicago municipal amendments that apply to Andersonville residences and commercial properties. We pull the required permits, schedule inspections, and complete every installation to code so you have total peace of mind.
How long will a switch replacement or new installation take, and will my power be shut off the entire time?
A single switch replacement typically takes 20–30 minutes, while adding a new switch location or converting to smart switches can take 1–2 hours depending on wiring access. We only isolate the specific circuit we’re working on, so the rest of your home remains powered. Before we begin, we’ll give you an estimated timeline and keep you updated at every step.
What does it cost to have switches installed or upgraded, and do you offer upfront pricing?
Switch replacement starts around $125 per device, which includes labor, a code-approved switch, and a safety inspection of the circuit. Smart or specialty switches may range from $175–$350 each depending on the model and programming required. You’ll receive a written, itemized quote before any work starts, and we never add surprise fees. We also offer multi-switch package discounts and financing options for larger projects.
