"I thought I did this but I'll do it again to make sure Marcus and photon electric get a good review. Marcus was very professional, he helped me with multiple problems and put up 2 ceiling fans and a new outlet in my garage. I give him credit he had to be an electric slooth to figure out all my homes issues and he did a great job and all the problems are fixed and working. He did a remarkable job was polite and explained all the problems and how he fixed them. Thank you Marcus and yes I'd hire him again. Beverly"

"Not only did they do some electrical wiring upgrades but also installed backyard lighting including landscape lighting and motion sensor lights. Installed electric to our hot tub. Ran conduit and installed power to our outdoor "tiki bar" During the holidays they did our Christmas lights. On a Sunday afternoon we placed an emergency call as we noticed smoke and smell coming from our outdoor meter. They not only showed up right away but found that our meter was completely corroded and a potential hazard so they worked for hours until the job was finished. They are always consistently on time, very knowledgeable, and extremely professional. I will continue to use them for future needs and highly recommend them!!"

"Roger is communicative, efficient, knowledgeable, and thorough. He completed a large-scale renovation in my living room and dining rooms, tearing down old plaster walls and ceiling, installing new drywall, canned lighting, new flooring, and trim. He kept me informed throughout the project. I highly recommend Nickel City Repair and look forward to having Roger back for the next project."

"Our main breaker kept flipping. We called the electric company for assistance and they determined we needed an electrician. One day half the power in the house wouldn't turn back on. In need of a quick response, we contacted Mike and within 45 minutes he dispatched help to us. Upon their evaluation it was determined that it really was an issue for the electric company to fix. Because the experts were able to give us the exact information to provide to the power company, our issue was fixed within a couple hours. Mike and his crew were very professional, fair and attentive to our needs. One always worries whether they can trust who they hire. I am convinced that Twin City is reputable and worth the phone call. I hope we never have a problem again, but if we do [or when we do remodeling], Mike will be called."

"Singh was super responsive when I needed help with my mom electricity at her house. We did not end up needing him because the lights turned back. Singh showed up on time and was really communicative. If we have another electrical issue, we would call on Singh for help."

"Highly recommended! I had a great experience with Torchia Electric. Alan came out to upgrade my two smart doorbells and went above and beyond. He didn't just install them; he took the time to find the absolute best placement for them. Alan was incredibly patient, kind, and professional. He made sure both doorbells were fully functional and working perfectly before he left."

FAQs for electrical switches, outlets & fixtures install or repair projects in Amherst, NY

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.
