"I recently purchased an older home and all of the major MEP systems are 45 years old. So when I ordered all new appliances, I didn't hold much hope that "installation included" would get me far. Sure enough, I quickly found myself with a house full of brand new, functionally useless, machines. Ahmad responded to my call, came immediately and worked 12 hours straight. They ran new cables, installed new outlet boxes and even got all the old appliances out of the house. I'm definitely bringing them back for additional work. I'm thrilled with the results and they have my highest recommendation."

FAQs for electrical switches, outlets & fixtures install or repair projects in Newport News, VA

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.
