"CMC did a great on our electrical job. We had them move fan boxes, add recessed lights, three way switches, boxes for vanity lights, and remove some unsafe outdoor wiring the previous homeowner DIY’d. Couldn’t be happier. Oh, by the way, they beat another well known area competitor by 35%."

"I can’t say enough good things about Harris Electrical, “Five stars all the way! I was completely impressed with their professionalism and customer service. Dalton put in all the electrical outlets needed for my pool, he added extra outlets to my screened in porch and deck. Pricing was great and the quality of work was fantastic. I needed to have a fence grounded, talked to Brandon about it and three days later it was done. Dalton and Brandon made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I will definitely be using their services again in the future."

"I was very pleased with this company and they will handle all of my electrical projects from this day forward. I received a call from them within a half-hour of sending them a message requesting a quote. The electricians Tony and Justin explained everything they did. I recommend this company without reservations, if you are in need of someone to do an electrical project give them a call, you will be glad you did. Wilbert Stokes."

"Isaiah Rock is the best electrician we’ve ever hired (in NC or elsewhere). He has completed several projects for us (from chandelier installation to whole house outlet check and replacement to installation of outdoor electrical boxes, etc.). In addition, our home is over 100 years old and Isaiah completed a thorough assessment (and repair, when needed) of shoddy (and dangerous) electrical work performed by other electricians from the past. We could not be more pleased with his level of integrity and professionalism. He is also very patient with, and kind to, animals (and people!) residing in the home. Wouldn’t think of hiring anyone else to do needed electrical work. Highest recommendation."

"Excellent service. The AC folks were not ready for the Electrician, even though the Electrician showed up right on time. So Zar asked if I wanted them to wait or if they could come back after running off to do another job. I let them go and showed back up 2.5 hours later and did exactly what they needed to do. They were very quick with the installation and didn't disrupt any power to the rest of the house. Also their attention to detail and where to run the conduit was above any electrician I had ever hired."

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.
