FAQs
What makes your electrical switches “state-of-the-art” compared to standard models?
Our switches integrate advanced solid-state components, touch-sensitive or paddle mechanisms rated for 250,000 cycles, and optional Wi-Fi/Zigbee connectivity for seamless smart-home control. They feature adaptive load detection that automatically optimizes performance for LEDs, CFLs, incandescents, and motor loads, as well as over-temperature and arc-fault monitoring built directly onto the switch PCB. This combination of durability, intelligence, and safety places them well ahead of conventional toggle or rocker switches.
Are the switches compatible with the existing wiring commonly found in older Graysville homes?
Yes. The physical form factor follows the North American Decora and standard toggle footprints, allowing them to drop into 1-, 2-, or 3-gang boxes without drywall modification. For homes that still use two-wire (hot + load) runs, we stock models that operate without a neutral by drawing a micro-amp leakage current through the load. For three-wire circuits that include a neutral, we recommend our full-function smart variants, which unlock energy-monitoring and dimming features.
Do your smart switches require an internet connection to function?
Basic on/off and local dimming work entirely offline—control logic and schedules are stored in on-board flash memory. An internet connection is only needed if you want remote access through the mobile app, voice assistants, or OTA firmware updates. All cloud traffic is end-to-end encrypted (TLS 1.3), and local LAN control via Matter or Home Assistant remains available even if the internet is down.
How energy-efficient are these switches, and will they reduce my utility bills?
While a switch itself uses very little power (our smart models draw <0.3 W in standby), the real savings come from features like adaptive dimming curves, occupancy sensing, and automatic daylight harvesting, which can cut lighting energy consumption by 30–60 %. In Graysville’s mixed-season climate, homeowners report average annual savings of $40–$70 per 1,000 sq ft of conditioned space after upgrading to our smart dimmers and controls.
What safety certifications and warranties do the switches carry?
Every model is UL and cUL listed, meets NEC 2023 arc-fault mitigation requirements, and complies with FCC Part 15 for RF emissions. The plastic housings are V-0 flame-rated, and terminals are backed out and captive to prevent accidental drop-ins. We provide a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, and a 2-year no-questions-asked replacement program specifically for Graysville customers who register online.
Do you offer professional installation services within the Graysville area?
Absolutely. Our licensed, bonded, and insured electricians can perform single-switch replacements, multi-gang panel upgrades, or full-home smart-lighting retrofits. Standard labor pricing starts at $89 for the first switch and $29 for each additional unit when scheduled in the same visit. We also coordinate required permits with the Graysville Building & Electrical Department and handle old-device recycling at no additional charge.
