"Chris and his assistant did an excellent job of explaining the situation and options for repairing or replacing our hot water heater. In the end we chose to replace it and they were able to secure a new unit and install it within 3 hours. Would definitely recommend Chris and Tri-County Services and will use them again if another situation arises."

"I felt the project went well, technicians were knowledgeable and task oriented. This was an all-day event, and a bit beyond - they ran into a snag at the end due to the aged electrical in place. Problems resolved.Cleanup primarily done by the junior tech was pretty good, although several areas were missed with wood shavings and wire debris left behind.Overall, I felt they went above and beyond to ensure outlets near water sources were updated. Company was responsive on the phone and did followup. Have already recommended Streb to a neighbor."

"Mr.Electic and Ryan, as well as the electrician, were all amazing. My electric panel burned out at night. I called them at 10pm and they had a representative at my house the following morning. They're quote was within market rates with a bit of an expected mark-up for urgency. It was definitely reasonably priced, especially since i couldn't find anyone else able to do the job right away. Long story short, the electrician was at my house the very next day after the quote and did an AMAZING job installing a larger panel. They needed to cut the wall to make more space and did it in a way that is practically invisible from the outside. You really cannot go wrong with this provider."

"They did major work on our home's electrical. The breaker panel was upgraded, overhead lighting installed throughout the home, ceiling fans installed, additional outlets and switches, as well as a 30 amp outlet for our RV. They were very professional and curtious. They take pride in their workmanship. I highly recommend!"

"Sure, here's a positive review for an electrician: --- I recently hired donel Grier from statement electric for some electrical work in my home, and I couldn't be more pleased with the service provided. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Donel Grierwas incredibly professional and punctual. They arrived right on time and were well-prepared with all the necessary tools and equipment. Throughout the project, they demonstrated a high level of expertise and attention to detail. Whether it was installing new lighting fixtures, troubleshooting wiring issues, or ensuring everything met safety standards, [donel Grier] handled it all with ease and precision. What stood out most was their clear communication and willingness to explain everything in layman's terms.

Their professionalism, expertise, and commitment to quality service are truly commendable. I will definitely be using their services again in the future."

FAQs for electrical switches, outlets & fixtures install or repair projects in Akron, OH

To select and hire an electrician for your light switch installation, start by evaluating candidates as you would for any skilled position. Ask detailed questions, request a written quote, and verify their licensing credentials. This careful screening prevents unexpected fees and ensures every aspect of the installation, including any drywall repairs, complies with code.

A light switch can malfunction due to compromised wiring or overheating conditions. Faulty connections and excess heat diminish the switch’s performance. If you hear crackling, popping, or hissing sounds when toggling the switch, this indicates active electrical faults that pose a safety hazard and demand immediate professional inspection. Prompt attention prevents further damage and ensures reliable operation.

Installing a light switch takes 30 minutes or less, on average. The installation time depends on the switch type, with dimmer switches requiring additional time compared to standard on-off switches. While the hardware replacement might be completed in 15 minutes, it's essential to adhere to safety protocols, like turning off the circuit breaker and verifying there's no power, for a safe and code-compliant installation.
