"I do much of my own electrical work. In this case, it was repair of an in-wall oven. When I pulled it out I was surprised we had not had an electrical fire; the prior installation did not shield the wiring and, in fact, exposed the insulation to abrasion plus it had direct contact between aluminum and copper wires On short notice I made a service appointment for which Brian was on time. He un-did then re-did the wiring (240V 40 amp circuit) quickly and in accordance with code. Afterward I checked and rechecked my own work; at the same time I found no issues with Brianâ s work. We have an excellent working oven and feel so much safer!!! Whatâ s that worth?"

"Had other options but I got lucky with the experienced plumber sent to my house. In 2018 Ben Franklin plumbing made huge mistakes on a new water line install and made a mess of everything. Mr. Rooter was able to quickly identify and fix the problem with my main water line for thousands less than other big national chains."

"Jimmy & his team did an excellent job taking down old and installing new light fixtures! They were very friendly, professional and timely. He even came back a few days later and raised a fixture that we decided should be higher! Highly recommend Viva Electric and will definitely use them again!"

"Hired Garrick to install a Generator interlock. He came and looked at my electrical panel and did an outstanding job walking me through the process and making suggestions on the best way to move forward. Garrick provided a quote to do the work that was significantly below the quotes provided by the competition. I had a few other issues, and Garrick provided solutions and feedback that did not involve him charging me for unnecessary work. I would highly recommend Rusty Red Power Solutions for all your electrical repair needs."

"I was given a date and a time frame of 8-10 am. At 10 am I was called and told my technician would be arriving at 11 am. At 11 am I was called and told they could not make it and would have to reschedule. The earliest available date was 6 days later. I understand things come up but that did not make it any less inconvenient. The technician arrives on time for the next scheduled appt and promptly got to work. I had two light fixtures and a switch installed. My switch is crooked and my fixtures are not flush with the ceiling. Unfortunately, I did not realize this until after my technician had left. For the amount of money that I spent I just expected more."

FAQs for electrical switches, outlets & fixtures install or repair projects in Charlotte, NC

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.
