FAQs
What sets your modern style electrical switches apart from traditional toggle switches?
Our modern switches feature slim, minimalist faceplates, soft-touch rocker or capacitive touch mechanisms, and concealed screws for a clean look that complements contemporary interiors. Internally, they use quiet, low-friction contacts rated for up to 15 A/120–277 V, delivering the same robust performance as commercial-grade devices while elevating the aesthetics of your space.
Are these switches compatible with the existing wiring in Kingston homes?
Yes. All models use standard single-pole, three-way, or multi-way wiring terminals and fit any North American 2" × 3" electrical box. If your house was wired to Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) standards in the last 50 years, our switches will drop right in without the need for special adapters or additional neutral conductors—unless you choose smart Wi-Fi versions, which typically require a neutral wire for power.
Do your products meet Canadian safety regulations?
Every switch is CSA and cUL listed and manufactured to the latest edition of the CEC. They are also RoHS compliant and tested to exceed 40,000 on/off cycles. When installed by a licensed electrician, they can be signed off by the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) for renovations and new builds in Kingston and the surrounding Frontenac County.
Can I integrate smart or dimming features with the same modern faceplates?
Absolutely. The design line includes matching smart Wi-Fi, Zigbee, and Z-Wave modules, plus forward-phase, reverse-phase, and 0-10 V dimmers rated for LED loads. All of them share the same slim faceplate system, so you can mix standard on/off switches with app-controlled or dimming units on the same wall for a seamless appearance.
What finishes are available, and how do they hold up in Kingston’s climate?
Our faceplates come in matte white, matte black, brushed stainless, and satin brass. The polycarbonate and anodized aluminum materials are UV-stabilized and salt-spray tested for 96 hours to resist fading and corrosion—important in Kingston’s humid, lake-side environment. Smudge-resistant coatings make them easy to wipe clean without discoloration.
Do you provide installation services in Kingston and how long does it take?
Yes. Our licensed electricians cover Kingston, Amherstview, Gananoque, and the surrounding area. A typical switch swap takes about 10–15 minutes per device, so replacing a full room’s switches can often be completed in under an hour. For larger smart-home retrofits, we offer free site assessments and can usually schedule installation within 3–5 business days of your order.
