"Luis was very capable and friendly. He wore a mask, booties to protect interior floors, and even put a carpet under his truck to protect the driveway from any fluid leaks. I showed him the three problems I had and he was able to quickly diagnose and repair all three including the replacement of a faulty GFCI component and locating the switch that controlled the outdoor security light. Afterwards he checked the main circuit breaker panel and made a couple of corrections, tested all of the GFCI circuits in the house and checked the smoke and CO2 detectors. I will definitely contact CMC Electric the next time I need electrical repairs or installations - and I'll be sure to ask for Luis!"

"Our old range (original to the house) suddenly stopped working so we bought a new range the weekend before Thanksgiving and thought the old one could be pulled out and a new one simply plugged into its place. Except, unbeknownst to us, there was no plug. The old range was hard wired into the house! Who knew such a thing even existed? So, before the range could be installed, an electrician had to install a plug--that day! But it got worse, the electrician arrived promptly and then left to get some parts. He returned to discover (once he took everything apart) that we actually needed a whole new circuit which, after leaving again to get more parts, he installed at three times his original estimate. The first estimate had been a shock to begin with because we went into this thinking it was a simple thing to switch out an appliance. I don't believe anything dishonest happened, it was just a home repair problem that kept snowballing. While working in the crawlspace, he accidentally broke a pipe and water was spewing all over the place. We had to find the buried water main to shut it off. But the Streamline plumber he called came promptly and fixed it. The new stove was eventually installed. It was a huge, unanticipated expense but I'm really grateful that 1) they were able to both come on very short notice (same day) and that they eventually did get everything taken care of."

"As soon as I requested quotes, my phone rang immediately. I scheduled with Mr. Electric. They quoted a price and noted if repairs were needed beyond costs of the diagnostic service fee, the my rate could possibly increase. They sent a photo and qualified Dwayne’s service record. Upon arrival, Dwayne and assistant verified my job requests, listened to my concerns and began a safety check. Within the hour, they completed the job and identified any immediate potential areas of concern (there were no immediate concerns beyond replacing three receptacles.) They left me with a high level of satisfaction about the electrical upgrade on my home. I will definitely recommend Mr. Electric and use them for any major electrical jobs that I may have in the future. Great Job guys!"

"Danny Cowart was the technician Yellow dot sent out to my home to address an electrical issue. He was polite, professional and knowledgeable. Upon explaining what happened he was able to find the issue-a broken light switch and replace it. I’d recommend Yellow Dot to anyone."

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