FAQs

What types of electrical switches does Optimal Performance Electrical install in the Robbins area?

We supply and install a full range of residential and light-commercial switches, including standard single-pole and three-way wall switches, dimmers, occupancy/vacancy sensors, combination (switch/outlet) devices, weather-resistant exterior switches, and smart Wi-Fi/Z-Wave switches that integrate with voice assistants. If you have specialty needs—such as hospital-grade, tamper-resistant, or industrial-duty—we can source those as well.

How do smart switches differ from traditional switches, and are they compatible with my existing wiring?

Smart switches contain built-in electronics that let you control lights or appliances remotely through a phone app, voice assistant, or automation schedule. Most smart switches require a neutral wire in the box, which many homes in Robbins built after the mid-1980s already have. During our site visit we verify the wiring, load ratings, and Wi-Fi or hub compatibility so you know exactly what will work before installation.

Can new switches really improve my home’s energy efficiency?

Yes. Dimmers allow you to trim light output and power use by up to 40%. Vacancy sensors automatically turn lights off when rooms are empty, reducing wasted electricity. Smart switches enable scheduling and real-time monitoring, which the U.S. Department of Energy estimates can cut lighting costs 10–20%. We’ll recommend the best mix of devices to maximize savings without compromising convenience.

What is the typical turnaround time for a switch replacement or upgrade?

For standard replacements we can often schedule service within 24–48 hours. A single-gang switch swap takes about 15 minutes, while a multi-switch upgrade or smart-home conversion may take 1–2 hours per location. Larger projects, such as whole-house smart retrofits, usually finish in one day. After an on-site assessment we provide a detailed timeline so there are no surprises.

Are Optimal Performance Electrical’s switch installations covered by warranty?

Absolutely. All workmanship is backed by our 2-year labor warranty, and the devices themselves carry the manufacturer’s warranty—typically 1 year for standard switches and up to 5 years for premium or smart models. If any issue arises during the warranty period, call us and we’ll repair or replace the switch at no additional cost.

What safety and code considerations should I know about when replacing switches?

Every switch we install meets or exceeds National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements and the latest Illinois amendments. We ensure proper grounding, load matching, arc-fault protection where required, and GFCI coverage in damp locations. Our licensed electricians pull permits when necessary and provide a compliance certificate upon completion, giving you peace of mind and a smooth inspection process if you sell your home.
