FAQs
What types of electrical switches can Dependable Solutions Electrical install or replace in Dayton?
Our licensed technicians work with all common residential and light-commercial switch styles, including single-pole, three-way, four-way, double-pole, dimmer, occupancy/vacancy sensors, weather-resistant outdoor switches, and the latest Wi-Fi or Z-Wave smart switches. If you are unsure which model best fits your application, we can evaluate your wiring, load requirements, and desired control features during a free on-site consultation.
How can I tell if an existing wall switch needs to be repaired or replaced?
Warning signs include flickering lights, crackling or buzzing sounds when the switch is toggled, excessive heat on the switch plate, intermittent operation, or visible discoloration and cracking. These symptoms often point to worn contacts, loose terminations, or an undersized switch for the circuit load. Because a failing switch can arc and overheat, schedule an inspection as soon as you notice any of these issues.
Are smart switches compatible with older wiring found in many Dayton homes?
In most cases yes, but smart switches often require a neutral wire in the box and adequate space for a deeper smart‐switch body. During our assessment we verify box fill, neutral availability, and grounding. If your wiring is missing a neutral, we can usually reroute a neutral from the nearest junction, upgrade the box, or recommend smart dimmers that work in two-wire situations.
What safety standards and permits apply to switch replacement projects in Montgomery County?
Dependable Solutions Electrical follows the latest National Electrical Code (NEC 2023) as adopted by the State of Ohio, along with any amendments enforced by the City of Dayton or Montgomery County Building Regulations Division. For multi-switch circuits, AFCI/GFCI protection is installed where required. When a permit is necessary—typically for new circuit additions or commercial work—we obtain it, schedule the inspection, and provide you with all documentation.
How much does it cost to have a switch repaired or replaced by your team?
For standard single-pole or three-way switch replacements in an accessible box, our flat rate in the Dayton metro area starts at $115 for the first switch and $35 for each additional switch on the same visit, including parts and labor. Specialty devices such as smart switches or multi-gang upgrades are quoted individually after an on-site assessment. All pricing is provided in writing before work begins, and senior or military discounts are available.
Do you offer emergency switch repair services after hours or on weekends?
Yes. Because a malfunctioning switch can pose a fire or shock hazard, we provide 24/7 emergency dispatch throughout Dayton and surrounding suburbs. Our on-call electrician will isolate the circuit, restore safe operation, and, if a full replacement cannot be completed immediately, install a temporary solution until permanent parts arrive. A small after-hours fee applies, which we disclose when you call.
