FAQs
What makes your innovative electrical switches different from conventional switches sold in Palmer?
Our switches combine advanced micro-controller technology with robust mechanical design. This lets them support features such as touch or app-based control, energy-use monitoring, and compatibility with smart-home platforms like Alexa or Google Home—all while fitting the same standard wall boxes used across Palmer homes and businesses.
Can the smart switches operate reliably in Palmer’s colder climate?
Yes. Each unit is rated for ‑40 °C to 60 °C and undergoes low-temperature cycling tests. The internal electronics are coated with a protective conformal layer that prevents condensation damage, ensuring dependable performance during Palmer’s long winters.
Do I need special wiring to install these switches?
Most of our models are designed for retrofit installation and work with the existing 120 V wiring common in Palmer residences. A neutral wire is required for Wi-Fi and Zigbee models; if your box lacks a neutral, we offer a no-neutral RF model or an add-on neutral jumper kit. A licensed electrician can complete the swap in under 20 minutes per switch.
How do the switches improve energy efficiency?
Integrated power-sensing chips measure the real-time load on each circuit. Through the companion app you can view usage graphs, set automatic shut-off timers, and receive alerts if a device exceeds a predefined wattage. Customers in the Matanuska Electric Association service area have reported 8–12 % reductions in seasonal electricity bills after upgrading high-use rooms.
Are these switches compatible with backup generators and solar setups common in rural parts of Palmer?
Absolutely. The firmware automatically detects supply changes and maintains stable operation from 90 V to 265 V AC. They synchronize seamlessly with inverter outputs, standby generators, and grid-tied or off-grid solar arrays, ensuring continuous control even during power transitions.
What kind of warranty and local support do you provide?
Every switch carries a five-year replacement warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. We maintain a service partnership with certified electricians in Palmer who can handle on-site diagnostics. Our Alaska-based customer support line (907-555-SWCH) offers real-time assistance Monday–Saturday, 8 am–6 pm AKST.
