FAQs
What types of electrical switches do you install or replace in Winfield homes and businesses?
We install and replace a full range of UL-listed devices, including standard single-pole and three-way light switches, dimmer switches (rotary, slide, digital, and smart), occupancy/vacancy sensors, heavy-duty commercial-grade toggles, weather-resistant exterior switches, and specialty units such as double-throw and keyed switches. Our technicians help you choose the right amperage, voltage rating, and style to meet local code and your application’s performance needs.
How do I know when an electrical switch needs to be replaced?
Common warning signs include flickering lights, intermittent operation, crackling or buzzing sounds, noticeable heat at the switch plate, discoloration, or a loose, wobbly toggle/rocker. If you smell burning plastic or see sparks, turn off power to that circuit immediately at the panel and call us. Even switches that appear to work can hide worn contacts that create resistance and heat, so any aging or damaged device should be evaluated by a licensed electrician.
Can you upgrade my existing switches to smart or dimmable versions without rewiring my whole house?
Yes. In most Winfield homes built after the mid-1980s, existing wiring typically supports modern dimmers and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth smart switches. We verify that a neutral conductor and proper grounding are present, ensure the device’s load rating matches the lighting circuit, and then install the smarter switch with minimal wall repair. For older homes lacking a neutral, we offer low-wattage dimmers or can pull a new neutral conductor with minimal drywall disruption.
Do your switch installations comply with Winfield and Illinois electrical codes?
Absolutely. Our technicians are licensed, bonded, and trained on the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) sections adopted by Illinois and enforced in Winfield. We pull permits when required, use only code-approved boxes, connectors, and AFCI/GFCI protection where mandated, and schedule inspections when necessary. Compliance ensures safety, insurance validity, and long-term reliability.
What kind of warranty and service support do you provide on new switch installations?
All workmanship is warrantied for five years, covering proper function, secure terminations, and code compliance. The switches themselves carry the manufacturer’s warranty—typically one to ten years—depending on the brand and model. If a device we installed fails within our labor warranty period, we replace it at no cost, handle the manufacturer claim for you, and perform a complimentary safety check on the entire circuit.
How long does a typical switch replacement or upgrade take, and will my power be off the whole time?
A single standard switch swap usually takes 20–30 minutes. Smart or multi-gang installations may run 45–60 minutes. We turn off power only to the affected circuit—usually a small portion of your home—while we work, so the rest of your property remains energized. After re-energizing the circuit, we test operation, label the breaker if needed, and clean up the work area before leaving.
