FAQs
What types of electrical switches do you supply and install in Ooltewah homes and businesses?
We carry a full line of UL-listed toggle, rocker, paddle, dimmer, motion-sensing, occupancy, timer, and heavy-duty industrial switches from trusted brands such as Lutron, Leviton, Eaton, and Hubbell. Whether you need standard single-pole switches for a renovation, three-way controls for stair lighting, or specialty GFCI/ AFCI combination devices for added safety, we can recommend and install the right product for your application.
How do I know when an existing switch needs to be replaced?
Common warning signs include lights that flicker or fail to turn on consistently, a switch plate that feels warm to the touch, audible crackling or buzzing, or visible discoloration around the device. Switches also have an average service life of 15–20 years, so if yours are approaching that age, replacement can prevent nuisance tripping and electrical hazards. We offer free inspections to confirm the condition of your wiring and devices.
Can you upgrade my traditional switches to smart Wi-Fi or dimmer models?
Absolutely. Our technicians can replace most traditional switches with smart Wi-Fi, Z-Wave, or Zigbee-enabled models that integrate with Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit. We first verify that the wall box has the required neutral conductor and ensure the circuit can handle any added load. After installation we help you connect the switch to your home network, pair it with your preferred app, and provide a quick tutorial on scheduling, voice control, and scene setup.
How long does a typical switch replacement or installation take, and will my power be out?
A standard single-pole or three-way switch swap usually takes 15–30 minutes. For multi-gang boxes or smart device programming, plan on 30–60 minutes. We isolate only the affected circuit, so the rest of your home or business remains powered. Once the new switch is installed, we restore power, test operation, and tidy the workspace so inconvenience is kept to a minimum.
Are your electricians licensed, insured, and familiar with local Ooltewah codes?
Yes. Every technician holds a Tennessee journeyman or master electrician license, carries full liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and undergoes annual background checks. We follow the current National Electrical Code (NEC 2023) as well as Hamilton County inspection requirements, pull necessary permits, and schedule final inspections when mandated. Our familiarity with local codes ensures your project passes the first time, protecting both safety and property value.
What kind of warranty or service guarantee do you provide on new electrical switches?
All switches we install include the manufacturer’s warranty—typically 1 to 5 years depending on the model. In addition, Reliable Performance Electrical backs every installation with a one-year labor guarantee: if the switch we installed malfunctions due to workmanship within 12 months, we’ll repair or replace it at no charge. We also offer 24/7 emergency support should any issue arise outside normal business hours.
