FAQs
What makes your electrical switches energy-efficient compared to standard models?
Our switches use advanced internal circuitry that minimizes standby power draw to less than 0.3 W, integrate optional motion or daylight sensors to shut off loads automatically, and are engineered for low-resistance contacts that reduce heat loss. Together, these features cut wasted electricity by up to 30 % over conventional toggle switches.
Are the switches compatible with modern LED, CFL, and smart bulbs used in Jamestown homes?
Yes. Every model is rated for the low wattage and inrush current characteristics of LED and CFL lamps and supports dimming curves specifically calibrated for these technologies. They also provide a neutral wire terminal and universal line voltage (120 V/277 V) support, ensuring seamless operation with most smart bulbs on the market.
Can I retrofit these switches into older Jamestown houses without rewiring?
In most cases, yes. The units are designed to fit standard U.S. single-gang boxes and accept 14- or 12-gauge copper conductors already present in pre-1990 homes. If your existing switch location lacks a neutral, we offer no-neutral sensor switches that draw their operating current through the load, eliminating additional cabling.
How much money can I realistically save by switching to energy-efficient controls?
Field studies in Western New York show average lighting-related electricity savings of 15-35 %, translating to roughly $40–$120 per year for a typical three-bedroom Jamestown residence. Savings are even higher when occupancy sensors are installed in low-use areas such as basements, garages, and guest rooms.
Do the switches meet current electrical codes and rebate requirements?
All models carry UL and cUL listings, comply with the 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC), and meet New York State Energy Conservation Construction Code standards. They also qualify for the National Grid Upstate NY lighting control rebate program, which can refund up to $4 per unit when professionally installed.
What installation services and warranties do you provide in Jamestown?
We offer full-service installation by licensed Jamestown electricians, including removal of old switches, wiring verification, and code-compliant grounding. Standard installations take under 30 minutes per switch. Every product comes with a 5-year manufacturer warranty and optional extended coverage that includes onsite replacement within 48 hours.
