"I want to shout out to Aaron Dean who was our Pro from CMC Electric. Aaron was at our home to provide a electrical inspection as advertised by the company. Aaron is very knowledgeable and informative. He explained what he was doing and why. He gave us recommendations and how to best fix the problems found-but did so in a professional manner. He was not pushing for business but wanted us to know. I recommend CMC Electric and Aaron Dean as a fine representative of the Company."

"I recently hired Miles Electric Co. for some electrical work at my home. Craig arrived right on time, a huge plus in my book. Communication was excellent—professional and clear, from the time we discussed the estimate to the project completion. He took the time to explain everything in a way I could understand. Pricing was fair and reasonable. He worked quickly and efficiently, completing the job faster than I expected without cutting any corners. Everything was left clean and tidy, and the results were perfect. I highly recommend Miles Electric Co. for anyone needing reliable, top-notch electrical service. Five stars all the way!"

"Great experience! Knowledgeable electrician quickly diagnosed the problem, and fixed the issue. We have an older house, and he requested some photos of our breaker box to make sure he had the right replacements."

FAQs for electrical switches, outlets & fixtures install or repair projects in Durham, 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.
