FAQs
What types of modern electrical switches do you offer in Church Hill?
We stock a full range, including traditional toggle switches, rocker switches, dimmers, smart Wi-Fi/app-controlled switches, motion-sensing occupancy switches, and combination USB/AC receptacle switches. Most models are available in decorator, screwless, and designer finishes to match any interior style.
Are smart switches compatible with the existing wiring in my older Church Hill home?
Yes—most smart switches are designed to retrofit into standard single-pole or three-way boxes. However, many smart dimmers and Wi-Fi models require a neutral conductor, which is sometimes missing in pre-1980 wiring. During our free site survey, we’ll check your box depth, neutral availability, and breaker capacity, and recommend the right product or wiring upgrade if needed.
How long does a typical switch replacement or upgrade take?
A single switch swap takes 15–30 minutes. For whole-room fixture and switch upgrades, plan on 1–2 hours. A whole-home conversion to smart or decorator switches usually runs ½–1 day, depending on circuit count. We schedule work around your availability and keep disruptions to a minimum by shutting off only the circuits we’re working on.
Do your switches meet local Church Hill and Tennessee electrical codes?
Absolutely. All switches we install are UL or ETL listed, and we follow the latest National Electrical Code (NEC 2023) as adopted by Tennessee. Our licensed electricians secure the proper permits when required and arrange city inspections for large remodels to ensure full compliance and warranty protection.
What energy or cost savings can I expect from upgrading my switches and fixtures?
Dimmers can cut lighting energy use by 10–60 %, while vacancy/occupancy sensors often reduce wasted lighting by 25–50 %. Smart switches tied to schedules or daylight sensors can yield another 10–20 % savings. Over a year, the average Church Hill household can save $50–$150 on electricity and extend bulb life by up to 3×, offsetting most of the hardware cost.
What warranties and maintenance support do you provide?
All standard mechanical switches include a 2-year parts and labor warranty; smart and dimmer models carry 3–5 year manufacturer warranties. If any switch we install fails within the covered period, we replace it at no charge. We also offer optional annual check-ups to update smart-switch firmware and verify that all devices operate safely and efficiently.
