FAQs
What makes your electrical switches stand out for reliable performance in Kodak?
Our switches are engineered with premium copper and silver alloy contacts that minimize resistance and overheating, ensuring consistent conductivity even under heavy load conditions common in Kodak’s varied commercial and residential environments. Each switch undergoes 100,000-cycle mechanical endurance testing and thermal shock testing between ‑20 °C and 60 °C to guarantee dependable performance year-round.
Which types of electrical switches do you offer and how do I choose the right one?
We stock a full range of toggle, rocker, push-button, dimmer, and smart Wi-Fi switches rated from 10 A to 40 A. Selection depends on the circuit’s amperage, the number of poles (single-pole vs. three-way), the desired control method (manual vs. remote/app), and aesthetic preferences. Our Kodak showroom staff and online configurator can help you match switch ratings to your breaker size, wire gauge, and lighting or appliance load.
Are your switches certified for safety and energy efficiency?
Yes. Every model carries UL, ETL, and CSA certifications, demonstrating compliance with NEC and CEC standards. For energy-saving applications, our smart and dimmer switches are additionally Energy Star listed and meet California Title 24 requirements, helping Kodak homeowners reduce standby power consumption by up to 40 %.
Can I install these switches myself, or do I need a licensed electrician in Kodak?
Simple single-pole switch replacements can be a DIY project if you are comfortable shutting off power, using a voltage tester, and following our illustrated instructions. However, multi-way circuits, smart switch retrofits, and any wiring updates in aluminum or older cloth-insulated cable systems should always be handled by a Tennessee-licensed electrician to comply with local Kodak electrical codes and maintain warranty coverage.
What kind of warranty and after-sales support do you provide?
All standard mechanical switches come with a 10-year limited warranty, while smart and dimmer variants carry a 5-year electronics warranty. If a switch fails under normal use, we will provide a free replacement or credit within 48 hours. Our Kodak service center offers phone, chat, and on-site troubleshooting Monday through Saturday, and firmware updates for smart models are pushed automatically via our mobile app.
How can I maintain my switches to ensure long-term reliability?
Keep switch plates free of dust and moisture by wiping them monthly with a dry microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can degrade plastic housings or discolor metal finishes. For smart switches, ensure firmware is current and avoid over-tightening terminal screws (torque to 12 lbf-in) during reinstallation. Periodic infrared thermography checks by an electrician can detect hotspots before they become failures, extending switch life well beyond the rated cycles.
