"Excellent and quick service! Jason contacted me within minutes of requesting a quote late in the evening regarding installation of a NEMA 14-50 outlet for an EV charger. He coordinated an electrician to come give an estimate the next morning. Shaun arrived at the designated time and examined where I wanted to put the outlet. He intelligently considered that where I wanted the outlet placed required cutting through sheet rock, which would be complicated and expensive. He suggested a much better location for placement that was also lower cost, which I agreed. Shaun was also able to do a quick CSST bonding of a gas furnace line I requested on the same day. He got both jobs done within a couple hours, left the area clean, and we made a smooth payment transaction. Total for both jobs done in the same day of the quote was $672 ($612 for outlet installation and $60 for CSST bonding). Other electricians I requested charged double or more, had a wait over a week, or charged even simply for a quote. I highly recommend this company to install your EV charger or other electrical needs."

"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."

"Small project but they were the first ones to reach out and respond with what I felt was a reasonable quote. The technicians showed up. The only downside and it’s nothing I was told I would receive a text or a phone call before they showed up and I did not. They just came. They still get five stars."

"Greg was wonderful! He inspected our outlet, determined the issue and repaired it. He also took the time to explain the units in our circuit box and the wall outlet. I felt very confident in his work and would absolutely hire him again. I am so glad we found Streamline Services on Angie’s List."

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.
