"Amax Electric were professional, on time, and very thorough. Making vital suggestions on electrical work and upgrade. Eg. how to say energy etc. We bought a fixer upper and they had to complete Electrical work on the entire house. We added items after the initial quote and it was not a problem. They did not fuss or quarrel. He (Max) says, No problem. The additional charge was minimal not exuberant. Their overall charge was reasonable, not the cheapest but definitely not the most expensive. I will hire again for my next project and would definitely recommend. It's not easy to find very good and honest workmen but I consider myself blessed to be able to work with AMAX Electric."

"FANTASTIC! Freddy came and quickly mapped the old wiring in the house that was causing the circuit to blow. He analyzed what I needed done, and worked with me in ways I could afford. I now have four new ceiling lights and outlets in my office dedicated to computer equipment. The blower for my fireplace is working again. The next project will be new lighting and dedicated outlets for my craft room. Freddy himself has a quiet, pleasant personality and a gift for problem solving. I cannot recommend this young man highly enough to anyone who has electrical work that needs resolution, private or commercial."

"I needed some troubleshooting done to resolve an issue with my dining room ceiling fan outlet. I received a call from Morano Electric within an hour of putting in the request. I decided to go with them after reviewing the other contractors. The technician they sent was personable, knowledgeable and mindful about my pets. He resolved everything, tested all the other outlets powered on the same circuit, and cleaned up all the debris. It couldn't have been a better experience, I will definitely request them going forward for any electrical projects."

FAQs for electrical switches, outlets & fixtures install or repair projects in Oakland, NJ

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.
