FAQs
What types of advanced electrical switches do you install in Bean Station?
We install a full range of modern switches, including smart Wi-Fi light switches, occupancy/vacancy sensors, dimmer switches with LED compatibility, multi-way touch panels, and industrial-grade safety disconnects. All products are UL-listed and rated for the voltage and load requirements typically found in Bean Station homes and small businesses.
Can smart switches be retrofitted into my existing wiring without major remodeling?
Yes. Most smart and touch-activated switches we carry are designed to fit standard single-gang or multi-gang wall boxes. In most Bean Station homes built after the 1970s, the existing neutral wire makes installation straightforward. For older homes that may lack a neutral, we offer no-neutral options or can run a new neutral conductor with minimal drywall disturbance.
Do I need a permit or inspection for switch upgrades in Bean Station?
For simple one-for-one switch replacements, the City of Bean Station does not normally require a permit. However, if the project involves new wiring, adding circuits, or work inside the panel, a Madison County electrical permit and inspection are required. We handle all permitting and coordinate inspections to ensure your upgrade meets the 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) and local amendments.
How do advanced dimmer switches prevent LED flicker and buzz?
Our dimmers use high-frequency TRIAC or MOSFET circuitry specifically tuned for modern LED drivers. They include adaptive technology that senses the load type—incandescent, CFL, or LED—and automatically sets the correct minimum load threshold. This eliminates the low-wattage flicker or transformer buzz common with legacy dimmers.
Will smart switches work if my internet goes down?
Yes. All of our recommended smart switches have on-device memory and manual control. You can still toggle the switch or use scene buttons locally. Automation schedules stored in the switch continue to run even without Wi-Fi. Cloud-based voice control (e.g., Alexa, Google Home) simply pauses until connectivity is restored.
What kind of warranty and support do you provide for switch installations?
Every switch we install comes with the manufacturer’s 3- to 5-year limited warranty plus our own 1-year labor guarantee. If a device fails within that period, we will replace it at no charge. You also receive lifetime phone and email support from our Bean Station office for troubleshooting, firmware updates, and future expansion advice.
