FAQs
What features make your electrical switches more durable than standard models?
Our switches are built with impact-resistant polycarbonate housings, silver-cadmium alloy contacts that resist pitting, and reinforced rocker mechanisms rated for 50,000 on/off cycles. All moving parts are enclosed to keep out Huntland’s dust and humidity, and each unit carries an IP-20 ingress rating plus UL 20 certification for long-term reliability.
How do these switches improve energy efficiency in my Huntland home or business?
Low-resistance contacts reduce micro-arcing, which cuts stand-by heat loss by up to 30 percent. Optional illuminated models use 0.3-watt LEDs instead of neon lamps, and smart versions can pair with occupancy sensors or the Huntland Energy Dashboard to cut lighting runtimes by as much as 45 percent. All models meet or exceed the current Tennessee Energy Code and help qualify projects for LEED lighting credits.
Are the switches compatible with existing wiring and local electrical codes?
Yes. They fit standard 1-gang and multi-gang US wall boxes, accept 12- or 14-gauge copper conductors, and are rated for both 15 A and 20 A branch circuits. The devices are UL-listed, CSA-approved, and conform to the 2023 National Electrical Code as adopted by Huntland. No special neutral or traveler wires are required for basic models, so most retrofits take less than 10 minutes per device.
Can the switches withstand Huntland’s temperature and humidity swings?
Absolutely. Each switch is tested from ‑40 °F to 167 °F (-40 °C to 75 °C) and up to 95 percent relative humidity without condensation. UV-stabilized faceplates prevent yellowing in direct sunlight, while nickel-plated terminal screws resist corrosion in moist basements or outdoor enclosures. This makes them suitable for everything from conditioned office space to unheated garages.
What routine maintenance is required to keep the switches performing well?
Maintenance is minimal. Once a year, turn off the circuit breaker, remove the wall plate, and vacuum or blow out any dust. Check that terminal screws remain torqued to 14 in-lb, and wipe the rocker with a damp, non-abrasive cloth—no solvents or spray lubricants needed. If you notice excessive warmth or flickering, contact a licensed Huntland electrician to inspect the circuit.
What warranty and support do you provide for these switches?
We back every switch with a 10-year limited warranty covering material defects, mechanical failure, and premature discoloration. Should an issue arise, call our Huntland service line or email support with the model number and proof of purchase; we typically ship a free replacement within 48 hours. Technical support is available Monday-Saturday, and our local warehouse stocks spare parts for at least 15 years from the manufacturing date.
