"I was having electrical problems throughout my house. Some appliances worked, some didn’t. Some lights were too bright sometimes, others were too dim sometimes. Some electrical outlets worked, some didn’t. Chris was courteous and professional. He diagnosed the problem in about 15 minutes and called BG&E himself to arrange for BG&E to send a repair truck out to my house, since the problem was a damaged power line leading into the house (specifically, the ground/neutral wire had been severed from rubbing up against a tree)."

"I was pleasantly surprised with the service this company completed for me! The guys replaced kitchen electrical outlets, switches, and hung a new kitchen light for me. They were on time in arriving, did great work, and the price was very reasonable compared to other companies. I would hire them again for future work! Owner even followed through with a call to see how everything turned out, impressive!"

"Haas Electric encountered problems bringing a 14 foot ladder to my fourth floor condo. They rescheduled another visit bringing a 12 foot ladder. Again they were unable to get this up steps. At that time they decided to buy a Little Giant ladder in order to accommodate my desire for additional pot lights in my 20 foot cathedral ceiling. The crew, Jason and Nick came to my unit this morning and proceeded to install the lights that I wanted. These two gentlemen are very courteous, knowledgeable and Very customer service oriented. One employee actually purchased a laser kit to ensure that my lights would be perfectly straight with the existing ones. Haas Electric should be proud of their employees. The additional lights were installed perfectly without a lot of difficulty once the ladder made it to the top floor! I would HIGHLY recommend this company for any of your electrical needs!"

"Ludwig has done several jobs for us and is fantastic! The scope of work has typically been installing outlets and new switches in an old home with complicated wiring. He is friendly, responsive, competent and fairly priced. We highly recommend!"

"The work went well as it was a very simple swap of light fixtures with no specialized work; however, the charge was $900. An additional $200 was charged to investigate dual switching. A 2 minute look at the switch determined that existing wiring was not in place. The net result is that I paid the electrician $275/hour for labor. I provided all materials. Shame on me for not getting competing estimates. I've since gotten estimates to replace the same light: one was $300 and the other $425. I contacted the service manager, but was not successful in getting a partial refund or any other remedy. Clinton Electric considers their pricing strategy to be fair. I disagree. My advice is to get competing quotes ALWAYS! Otherwise, you can expect to pay excessive labor rates with Clinton Electric."

"Everything about Able Electrical Services service was superb! I was in a jam, and Able Electrical Services came to the rescue. Both of the mechanics that assisted were excellent. Russell Ridgway was the primary mechanic and he was amazing! His work is superior and he exceeded my expectations every step of the way. For example, I needed electrical outlets to connect install a wet bar. He measured the wet bar and installed the outlets exactly where they were needed and ensured sufficient power was added to accommodate a kegerator and mini-frigs. I highly recommend Able Electrical Services and hope I never need to use any other electrician."

"Lemus Electrical did a great job with my 240 Volt outlet job. This was for adding an electrical stove to the home. Lemus was quick, reasonably priced, and very knowledgeable about the work. I would easily recommend them to others or use them again myself."

FAQs for electrical switches, outlets & fixtures install or repair projects in Columbia, MD

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.
