FAQs
What kinds of electrical switches can you install or replace in Fayetteville homes or businesses?
Our licensed electricians handle virtually every switch style on the market, including standard single-pole and three-way light switches, dimmers, fan-control switches, GFCI-protected switches for wet locations, motion or occupancy sensors, and the latest Wi-Fi–enabled smart switches. Whether you want a direct replacement, an upgrade to reduce energy use, or full smart-home integration, we can specify, supply, and professionally install the right device for your application.
How do I know when an existing switch should be replaced?
Warning signs include noticeable heat on the switch plate, crackling or buzzing sounds when toggled, flickering lights, a loose or wobbly toggle, visible discoloration or melting, and any shock sensation when touched. These symptoms indicate worn internal contacts or loose wiring that can lead to arcing and fire hazards. If you experience any of these issues, shut off power to the switch at the breaker and schedule a service call. Our electricians will test the circuit, determine the root cause, and recommend a safe, code-compliant solution.
Can smart switches be added to older Fayetteville homes with dated wiring?
In most cases, yes. Many houses built before the mid-1980s lack a neutral wire in the switch box, which certain smart switches require. We carry neutral-optional smart models and can often repurpose an existing ground conductor, add a neutral jumper from a nearby receptacle, or fish new cable if needed. During our free on-site evaluation, we inspect the box depth, wiring condition, and breaker capacity to ensure the smart switch will function reliably with your existing infrastructure and local code requirements.
Do I need a permit or inspection to change a light switch in Fayetteville?
A straight one-for-one replacement of a switch in the same location generally doesn’t require a permit, but any work that adds a new circuit, relocates wiring, or involves GFCI/AFCI protection must follow the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) standards adopted by the City of Fayetteville and may require permitting and inspection. Our team files all necessary paperwork, schedules inspections with the city’s Building Safety Department, and guarantees the installation passes on the first visit, saving you time and potential fines.
How long will my power be off while you replace or install a switch?
A single switch replacement usually takes 15–30 minutes, during which we turn off power only to the affected circuit. For multi-gang boxes or smart-switch upgrades involving wiring modifications, expect 30–60 minutes per box. Whole-home switch upgrades are often completed in a single day with staggered outages to minimize disruption. We coordinate with you in advance so refrigerators, medical devices, or important electronics remain powered whenever possible.
What warranty or ongoing support do you provide for new switch installations?
All labor is covered by our two-year workmanship warranty, and manufacturer warranties on the switches range from three years to lifetime, depending on the brand. If a switch we installed fails under normal use, we’ll replace it at no charge. For smart switches, we include a complimentary follow-up visit within 30 days to optimize programming or troubleshoot app connectivity issues. Annual maintenance plans are also available, which include discounted service calls, priority scheduling, and a comprehensive electrical safety inspection each year.
