FAQs
What types of electrical switches do you install for improved efficiency in Crab Orchard homes and businesses?
We install a full range of modern switches, including standard quiet-action toggle and rocker switches, dimmer switches, motion and occupancy sensors, timer switches, and Wi-Fi/voice-enabled smart switches. Each option is selected for its durability, low standby power draw, and UL or ETL certification, ensuring you get long-term energy savings and smooth performance.
How can replacing my existing switches actually lower my energy bill?
Many older switches lack features that prevent unnecessary power consumption. By upgrading to dimmers, motion sensors, or smart switches, you can automatically reduce lighting levels, turn fixtures off when a room is vacant, and schedule lights to match your daily routine. Studies show homeowners can save 15–35 % on lighting costs simply by installing these newer switch technologies.
Will smart or dimmer switches work with the wiring already in my Crab Orchard property?
In most cases, yes. Most homes built after the mid-1980s have the neutral wire that smart and advanced dimmer switches require. During our free site visit, we inspect your switch boxes, verify neutral availability, check load ratings, and confirm fixture compatibility (LED, CFL, incandescent). If your wiring needs an update, we can run a new neutral or suggest alternate devices that operate on two-wire circuits.
What does the switch installation process look like and how long will it take?
A standard single-pole switch swap usually takes 15–20 minutes, while multi-way circuits, smart switches, or grouped gang boxes may take 30–60 minutes each. Our typical residential project—replacing 10–15 switches—can be completed in half a day with minimal disruption. We always begin by de-energizing the circuit at the panel, testing for voltage, removing the old device, preparing conductors, installing and programming the new switch, and finishing with a neat wall-plate and cleanup.
Do your services meet Crab Orchard’s local electrical codes and the National Electrical Code (NEC)?
Absolutely. We are fully licensed and insured in the State of Tennessee (license # displayed on request) and follow the 2023 NEC as adopted by Cumberland County. All devices are UL-listed, conductor sizes are verified, grounding is tested, and every installation is inspected with a calibrated megohmmeter and AFCI/GFCI tester where required.
What should I expect to pay for switch upgrades, and do you back your work with a warranty?
Pricing depends on the switch type and quantity. Standard rocker or toggle replacements start at about $45 per switch installed, dimmers average $85–$110, and smart Wi-Fi switches run $125–$160 because they include programming and app integration. We provide upfront written quotes with no hidden fees. All workmanship carries a 2-year labor warranty, and manufacturer device warranties range from 3 to 5 years. Annual maintenance plans and firmware update visits are also available.
