FAQs
What types of electrical switches do you supply and install in Elora?
We carry a full range of switches, including traditional toggle and rocker switches, dimmers, three-way and four-way switches for multi-location control, combination switch-outlet units, and smart Wi-Fi or Zigbee/Z-Wave switches that integrate with home-automation platforms such as Google Home, Alexa, and Apple HomeKit.
Are the switches you install compliant with Canadian Electrical Code and local Elora regulations?
Yes. All products we stock are CSA-certified and listed for use in Canada. Our licensed electricians follow the most recent Ontario Electrical Safety Code (OESC) and obtain any required ESA permits to ensure every installation meets or exceeds local regulatory standards.
Can you upgrade my existing switches to smart switches without rewiring the entire house?
In most cases, yes. Smart switches usually require a neutral wire and a properly sized electrical box. During our free on-site assessment we verify these conditions; if a neutral is missing, we can often add one by fishing wire through existing conduit or converting the closest receptacle circuit—saving you from major drywall work.
How long does it take to replace or install new switches in an average home?
A straightforward one-for-one replacement of a standard switch typically takes 15–20 minutes. A whole-home switch upgrade (about 20 switches) usually fits into a half-day visit, while smart-switch retrofits average 10–15 minutes each after initial hub setup. Our team provides a precise timeline once we see the layout.
Do you offer any warranties or maintenance plans for switches you install?
All switches come with the manufacturer’s one-year warranty, and we add our own two-year labour warranty that covers workmanship. Optional maintenance plans include annual inspection, cleaning, and firmware updates for smart devices to ensure reliable connectivity and peak performance.
How can I tell if my existing switches need replacement?
Signs include flickering lights, audible buzzing, inconsistent dimming, physical damage or discoloration, a warm faceplate, or switches that feel loose or sticky. If you notice any of these issues, schedule a free safety inspection—our Elora electricians can quickly determine whether a simple replacement or a circuit check is needed.
