FAQs
What kinds of electrical switches does Durable Performance Electrical install in the Hixson area?
We stock and install a full range of residential and light-commercial switches, including single-pole, double-pole, three-way, four-way, dimmer, motion-sensor, and smart Wi-Fi–enabled models. All products are UL-listed, comply with the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) standards, and are selected for proven durability in the Southeast Tennessee climate.
How do I know which type of switch—single-pole, three-way, or smart—is right for my project?
A single-pole switch controls one light from one location, making it ideal for bedrooms, closets, and bathrooms. A three-way switch lets you control the same light from two locations (for example, at the top and bottom of a staircase), while a four-way adds a third or fourth control location. Smart switches allow on/off and dimming through apps, voice assistants, and programmable schedules. During our free on-site consultation, we evaluate your wiring, load requirements, and lifestyle preferences to recommend the safest, most convenient option.
Do your switch installations meet all Hixson and Hamilton County electrical codes?
Yes. Our licensed electricians pull any required permits, follow the 2023 NEC, and adhere to Hamilton County’s local amendments. After installation, we test for proper grounding, verify correct amperage ratings, and label each breaker. If an official inspection is required, we coordinate with the county inspector and address any punch-list items at no extra cost.
Can Durable Performance Electrical upgrade old toggle switches to newer, energy-saving dimmers without rewiring my house?
In most cases, yes. Many existing switch boxes already contain the neutral and ground conductors that modern dimmers and smart switches need. We begin by shutting off power, removing the old device, and checking wire capacity and box fill. If the box is too shallow or lacks a neutral, we can install an approved extension ring or run a new neutral conductor. Our goal is to keep disruptions minimal while giving you advanced control and energy savings of up to 20% on lighting costs.
What kind of warranty and post-installation support do you provide on electrical switches?
Every switch we install carries the manufacturer’s warranty, typically one to five years. Durable Performance Electrical adds a two-year labor warranty covering workmanship: if a switch we installed malfunctions due to installation error, we’ll replace or repair it at no charge. We also offer optional annual electrical check-ups where we tighten terminals, test GFCIs/AFCIs, and verify smart-switch firmware updates.
How much does it cost to have a switch repaired or replaced in Hixson, and how quickly can you schedule the work?
Simple one-for-one replacements of standard single-pole switches start at about $95, including parts, labor, and a safety inspection of the circuit. Dimmer or smart-switch upgrades typically range from $150 to $250, depending on features and compatibility. If additional wiring or box enlargement is needed, we provide a fixed quote before work begins. For most Hixson addresses we can schedule service within 24–48 hours, and emergency repairs are available 24/7 with a modest after-hours surcharge.
