FAQs
What types of electrical switches do you install and service in the Dayton area?
We work with a full range of residential and commercial switches, including standard single-pole and three-way wall switches, dimmers, motion-sensing switches, timer switches, heavy-duty disconnects, and the latest smart Wi-Fi or Z-Wave–enabled controls. Our technicians are trained to install, replace, or repair products from all major manufacturers so you can choose the exact functionality and style you need.
How do I know when an electrical switch needs to be replaced?
Warning signs include a switch that feels warm or sparks, makes crackling sounds, operates intermittently, or no longer stays firmly in the on/off position. Discoloration on the faceplate or a lingering burning smell are also red flags. If you notice any of these issues, shut off power to the circuit at the breaker panel and schedule an inspection right away to prevent possible shock or fire hazards.
Are smart light switches compatible with my existing wiring and fixtures?
In most Dayton homes built after the mid-1980s, wiring will include the neutral conductor required by most smart switches. We’ll verify your wiring configuration during our site visit. If your home lacks a neutral, we can often run a new conductor or recommend smart dimmers that do not require one. Smart switches work with standard LED, CFL, and incandescent bulbs, but we’ll confirm bulb compatibility to ensure smooth dimming and long lamp life.
Will new switches help lower my energy bills?
Yes. Installing occupancy-sensor switches in low-traffic areas, daylight-sensing switches near windows, or programmable smart switches can significantly reduce wasted lighting energy—often by 25–60 %. Dimmer switches also cut wattage when lights are set below full brightness. Our team can perform an energy assessment and suggest targeted switch upgrades that deliver the fastest payback for your Dayton property.
Do your switch installations meet Ohio electrical code requirements?
Absolutely. All work we perform follows the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) and City of Dayton amendments. We obtain any required permits, use UL-listed components, and ensure proper grounding, conductor sizing, and GFCI/AFCI protection where mandated. Once the job is complete, we arrange any necessary city inspections and provide documentation for your records.
How much does it cost to have a switch installed or replaced?
Pricing depends on factors like switch type, wiring complexity, and quantity. A straightforward replacement of a standard single-pole switch typically starts around $95, including parts, labor, and a safety check of the circuit. Smart switches range from $175–$275 installed, while multi-way or specialty commercial controls can be higher. We offer free on-site estimates in Dayton, transparent pricing up front, and a one-year workmanship warranty on every switch we install.
