FAQs
What types of energy-efficient electrical switches do you install in Fayetteville homes?
We install a full range of high-efficiency switching solutions, including low-standby smart switches, occupancy/vacancy sensors, dimmer switches optimized for LED lighting, and Wi-Fi/Z-Wave enabled controls that allow scheduling and remote shut-off. Each option is UL-listed, ENERGY STAR® or DLC qualified where applicable, and selected to match your home’s wiring, décor, and energy-saving goals.
How much can I save on my electric bill by upgrading to energy-efficient switches?
Savings vary with usage patterns, but most Fayetteville customers see lighting-related electricity costs drop 25–60 %. A single occupancy sensor in a frequently forgotten room can cut wasted lighting time by 30 % or more. When smart switches are paired with LED bulbs and automated schedules, whole-home payback periods average 18–24 months.
Are smart or sensor switches compatible with the older wiring found in some Fayetteville neighborhoods?
Yes—our technicians assess neutral availability, box depth, and grounding in homes built before the 1990s. We carry smart switches that work on two-wire (no-neutral) circuits, shallow back boxes, and aluminum or mixed copper/aluminum wiring. If minor upgrades are needed (e.g., adding a neutral pigtail or a deeper box), we handle them on the same visit and keep everything to code.
Do I need a permit or inspection to replace standard switches with energy-efficient models in Fayetteville?
Most like-for-like switch replacements do not require a separate permit in Fayetteville city limits. However, if the project involves new wiring, circuit alterations, or is part of a larger renovation, a City of Fayetteville electrical permit and inspection may be necessary. We’ll confirm requirements up front and, when needed, pull the permit and coordinate inspections on your behalf.
How long does it take to install energy-efficient switches, and will my power be off all day?
A single-gang switch swap typically takes 15–30 minutes, while a whole-home upgrade of 15–20 switches can be completed in 3–4 hours. We shut off power only to the affected circuit(s), so the rest of your home stays energized. When the work is finished, we restore power immediately, test every function, and clean up the workspace—no all-day outages required.
Are there local rebates or incentives for installing energy-saving switches in Fayetteville?
Yes. Duke Energy Progress and City of Fayetteville Public Works Commission (PWC) periodically offer rebates for smart switches, occupancy sensors, and connected dimmers when paired with qualifying LED fixtures. Homeowners may also bundle switch upgrades with broader energy-efficiency programs to receive additional credits. We monitor current incentives, provide the necessary documentation, and file the paperwork so you receive every dollar available.
