FAQs
What types of electrical switches do you carry in your Johnson City location?
Our Johnson City showroom stocks a full spectrum of switches, including single-pole, double-pole, three-way, four-way, dimmer, motion-sensor, timer, key card, and smart Wi-Fi–enabled models. We also carry specialty devices such as illuminated rocker switches, low-voltage momentary switches for automation systems, and heavy-duty industrial toggle switches rated up to 30 A. All products are supplied by trusted brands like Legrand, Lutron, Eaton, and Hubbell to ensure quality and code compliance.
How do I decide between a single-pole, three-way, or four-way switch?
• Single-pole switches control one lighting load from a single location and are the most common choice for bedrooms, closets, and garages. • Three-way switches allow you to control one load from two different locations—ideal for staircases and hallways. • Four-way switches add a third (or more) control point in conjunction with two three-way switches, often used in large rooms with multiple entrances. If you’re unsure which wiring configuration your space requires, bring in your existing switch or a wiring diagram, and our counter staff can verify the correct device and necessary accessories.
Do you stock smart switches that work with home automation platforms?
Yes. We carry smart switches that integrate seamlessly with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings, and Z-Wave or Zigbee hubs. Options include Wi-Fi dimmers, occupancy sensors, and multi-button scene controllers. Most models feature easy app-based setup, voice-control capability, and energy-monitoring functions. We can also supply matching smart receptacles and fan controls for a unified look across your home.
Can I get outdoor or weather-resistant switches for patios and workshops?
Absolutely. We stock UL-listed weather-resistant (WR) and extra-heavy-duty (EHD) switches with gasketed covers, corrosion-resistant screws, and IP65 or NEMA 4X ratings. These units withstand rain, dust, and temperature extremes common in East Tennessee. Ask for our stainless-steel or non-metallic models when installing near pools, hot tubs, barns, or detached garages to maintain both safety and longevity.
Is it safe to install these switches myself, or should I hire a licensed electrician?
Many homeowners can replace a single-pole or dimmer switch by following the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes. However, multi-way circuits, aluminum wiring, or smart devices requiring a neutral conductor can present challenges. If you are uncertain about identifying hot vs. neutral wires, working in old metal-clad boxes, or tying into a load center, we strongly recommend hiring a licensed electrician. Incorrect installation may void product warranties and violate the National Electrical Code (NEC) enforced in Johnson City.
What safety certifications and code standards do your switches meet?
Every switch we sell is UL or ETL listed, ensuring it has passed nationally recognized safety testing. Many models are also CSA and NOM certified for North American applications. They comply with the 2023 NEC, Tennessee state regulations, and Johnson City municipal amendments. Smart switches follow FCC Part 15 requirements for RF emissions, and our WR devices meet NEC 406.9(B) specifications for damp and wet locations. Certificates of compliance and spec sheets are available upon request.
