FAQs
What kinds of innovative electrical switches do you offer in Hillsboro?
We stock a full range of state-of-the-art switches—including Wi-Fi–enabled smart switches, motion-sensing dimmers, multi-location touch panels, and heavy-duty industrial toggle switches. All models are UL-listed, ENERGY STAR® compliant where applicable, and selected to handle Hillsboro’s residential, commercial, and light-industrial power demands.
How do smart switches improve energy efficiency and reliability?
Smart switches incorporate scheduling, occupancy sensing, and real-time load monitoring. By turning circuits off automatically or dimming lighting based on usage patterns, they can reduce electricity consumption by 15–30 %. Their solid-state relays have no mechanical parts, which minimizes arcing and extends switch life to over 250,000 cycles—five times longer than conventional devices.
Are your switches compliant with Hillsboro and Oregon electrical codes?
Yes. Every switch meets or exceeds the 2023 Oregon Electrical Specialty Code and the latest National Electrical Code (NEC). Our products also carry UL or ETL listings, and we supply the necessary documentation for city permitting and inspections in Hillsboro.
Can existing homes or facilities be retrofitted with your advanced switch technology?
Absolutely. Most smart and high-reliability switches fit standard single-gang or multi-gang boxes and operate on 120 V or 277 V circuits. For homes built before 1985 that may lack neutral conductors, we offer no-neutral smart switches or can run neutrals during installation. Retrofits typically take 15–30 minutes per switch with minimal drywall repair.
What warranties and after-sale support do you provide?
Residential switches carry a 3-year parts and labor warranty; commercial and industrial models have 5-year coverage. Our Hillsboro support team offers free phone or video troubleshooting, onsite service within 24 hours for critical failures, and firmware updates for smart devices throughout the warranty period.
How soon can you schedule installation or repair in the Hillsboro area?
For most in-stock switches, we can schedule same-day or next-day service within the 97123 and 97124 ZIP codes. Larger commercial projects are typically slotted within 3–5 business days. Emergency repairs are available 24/7 with a guaranteed two-hour arrival window.
