"Quick and flexible scheduling. Good communication all the way through. Was able to get my garage light replaced and a Ring doorbell installed the next day. Couldn't have asked for more!"

"Max showed up on time. He worked quickly but job took over 3 hours to figure out problem with several outlets not working and a bad switch and unusual wiring in 1 of the outlets and to replace the faulty switch and a failed circuit breaker on the panel (the cause of the outlets not working) including a trip to HD to buy a new circuit breaker. On his recommendation we had him also replace 2 38 year old switches and the affected 38 year old outlets. He listened carefully to our description of the problem and explained his work and answered all our questions. The total bill was $378 which we felt was a fair price. We will definitely call him for any future electrical work. "

"Highly recommend MJ ELECTRIC. Roque came to our house. We explained to him what we wanted. He gave us the options. Work started when we requested. Mario and Michael came out and were very knowledgeable, professional and respected our home. The kitchen wiring upgrade was completed in 3 days. The County came out and the inspection passed with flying colors. Great company, super employees."

FAQs for electrical switches, outlets & fixtures install or repair projects in El Cajon, CA

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.
