FAQs

What types of electrical switches do you install or replace in Elora homes and businesses?

Our licensed electricians install and replace the full range of modern switches, including standard toggle and rocker light switches, three-way and four-way switches for multi-location lighting control, dimmer switches (both slide and rotary), fan-speed controls, weather-resistant exterior switches, occupancy/vacancy sensors, and the latest Wi-Fi or Zigbee/Z-Wave smart switches. We work with all major brands approved for use in Ontario and can recommend the best model for your style, load requirements, and budget.

How can I tell if my existing switches need an upgrade or replacement?

Warning signs include warm or discoloured switch plates, buzzing or crackling sounds, intermittent operation, flickering lights, or switches that feel loose when toggled. Any switch older than 20–25 years may lack modern safety features such as built-in surge protection or arc-fault resistance. During our free on-site assessment we test voltage, inspect wiring insulation, and verify grounding to decide whether repair or full replacement is the safest, most cost-effective option.

Can you integrate smart switches with my current home-automation platform?

Yes. We regularly install smart switches that integrate with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings, and other hubs. Before installation we confirm the neutral wire availability, Wi-Fi signal strength, and circuit load to ensure glitch-free operation. After installation we walk you through pairing, creating scenes, and voice-control routines, so you get immediate, hassle-free automation without the learning curve.

Are your switch installations compliant with the Ontario Electrical Safety Code (OESC) and ESA requirements?

Absolutely. All work is performed by ESA-licensed electricians who follow the latest OESC guidelines for conductor sizing, grounding, box fill, and arc-fault/ground-fault protection. We obtain any required Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) permits for Elora and Wellington County projects and schedule the final inspection. You receive a Certificate of Acceptance for your records and insurance purposes.

How long will power be off during a switch replacement, and will my walls be damaged?

For a straightforward one-gang switch replacement, power is typically switched off at the panel for 10–15 minutes while we remove the old unit, inspect wiring, and install the new switch. More complex multi-gang or smart-switch upgrades may take 30–60 minutes per location. We use non-marring tools, painter’s tape, and appropriate wall plates to leave your drywall and paint intact. If any cutting is required—for example, to enlarge a box—we patch and finish the area to a paint-ready state before we leave.

What kind of warranty and after-service support do you provide on new switches?

All parts we supply are CSA-approved and come with a manufacturer’s warranty ranging from 1 to 5 years. In addition, Quality Craftsmanship Electrical adds a two-year labour warranty covering workmanship, loose connections, and code compliance. Should any issue arise, call us and we’ll schedule a priority visit in Elora—usually within 48 hours—at no cost to you. For smart switches we also include 30 days of complimentary phone or video support to help with app updates or automation tweaks.
