"It was a great experience! Earl and Felix came out on time and were very professional. They did what they said they were going to do and the price never changed.

"I called Charleston Electrical and they were able to set up an appointment almost immediately. It was at a rental house of mine. The time was from 12:00 to 2:00. They sent me an email and text stating the day and time. The day was correct, but the time said from 12:00 am to 12:00 pm. I just thought that someone made a clerical error and meant 12:00 pm - 2:00pm like we had discussed on the phone. The day of the appointment, they texted me at 8:30 in the morning to say that they were on their way. I called them and said the time wasn't until at least 12:00 and that I would have to call the tenant to make sure that someone was there. The office personnel told me that the time she had in her schedule book was from 10:00 till 12:00 (which still made them very early when they called) and that the electrician had finished his one call earlier and that is why he was headed to my house. when I brought it to her attention about the time difference between what she said was in her schedule and what they texted and emailed me and told me on the phone when I first called them, she simply stated that was the time she had. We were fortunate that my tenants were there and could let them in. After the appointment I did not get a call. Just an email stating what the problem was and the charge for the inspection of $150. I was hoping that someone would call me from the job site and possibly make the repair at the same time, so that was a disapointment for me. When I looked at the email detailing what the problem was, I wanted to talk with the electrician to make sure that I understood what the problem was and how they were going to fix it. That did not happen either. The office personnel told me they would have the electrician call, but he never did. Instead the office personnel called me towards the end of the day and basically read the estimate to me as to what needed to be done and then gave me, as per the electrician, an estimate of approximately how long it would take and the cost. I had no more understanding of what needed to be done than before because the person who was talking with me did not know anything more than I did about the electrical work that needed to be done. Another disappointment."

"Two guys came. Tough job with a lot of time in the attic. They Had to fish a lot of wine through walls and drop it down. There was only one place they had to cut the drywall which is outstanding! One guy look like a snowman after he was done crying around the attic and I was most impressed with their politeness efficiency and quality of their work. I would hire them again"

FAQs for electrical switches, outlets & fixtures install or repair projects in Charleston, SC

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.
