FAQs
What sets Innovative Design Electrical switches apart from standard switches on the market?
Our switches combine contemporary aesthetics with advanced engineering. Each unit features low-profile bezels, silent-touch rocker mechanisms, and interchangeable faceplates so you can match any décor. Internally, silver-cadmium contacts offer higher arc resistance, and our patented spring design delivers more than 250,000 on/off cycles—roughly four times the life expectancy of a conventional switch.
Are Innovative Design Electrical switches compatible with smart-home ecosystems such as Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit?
Yes. All dimmer and scene-controller models contain built-in Zigbee and Bluetooth Low Energy radios. Once paired with our free mobile app, you can link the switch to Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit in under two minutes. For advanced automations, the switches also support IFTTT triggers, local REST APIs, and over-the-air firmware updates.
Can I install these switches in an existing wall box, or do I need special wiring?
Our single- and multi-gang models are designed to fit any standard NEMA 1-gang or 2-gang box commonly used in Robbins homes and commercial spaces. They accept 14-AWG and 12-AWG solid or stranded copper conductors and support both back-wire and side-wire terminations. If you are replacing a traditional two-way switch, no rewiring is required; simply connect the line, load, ground, and neutral (if present) to the labeled terminals. For smart models, a neutral conductor is recommended to power the onboard electronics.
What safety certifications do the switches carry, and are they compliant with Illinois building codes?
Every Innovative Design Electrical switch is UL and cUL listed, meets NEC 2023 Article 404 requirements, and is certified to CSA C22.2 No. 111-20. The housings are molded from 94-V-0 flame-rated polycarbonate, and all live components are shielded to prevent accidental contact. They also comply with the Illinois Energy Conservation Code and local Robbins electrical ordinances, so inspectors can sign off without extra documentation.
Do you offer customization options such as colors, finishes, or labeling for commercial projects?
Absolutely. In addition to our six stock colors (matte white, matte black, stainless, graphite, almond, and brushed brass), we offer powder-coat and PVD finishes for orders over 50 units. Laser engraving is available for circuit identification, braille markings, or corporate logos. Lead time for customized batches is typically 10–15 business days after design approval.
What kind of warranty and post-installation support do you provide?
All mechanical switches are covered by a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects, while smart and dimmer variants carry a five-year limited warranty that includes firmware updates. Our Robbins service center offers free technical phone support Monday–Saturday, on-site troubleshooting within 24 hours for commercial clients, and a 30-day no-questions-asked return policy for residential customers.
