"Outdoor electrical outlet kept tripping the GFCI frequently but with no apparent pattern. Couldn't tell if it was the items plugged into the GFCI, the GFCI itself, another GFCI on the same line, or something else. The technician was very methodical in his approach and was able to identify the problem as a bad underground line between two of the GFCIs. Not an easy one to solve. The wires were inside metal conduit but somehow water had gotten inside the conduit. Once the cause was determined, he knew exactly what needed to be done. The technician was professional, easy to talk to and did an excellent job. Pricing was very reasonable. I am very pleased with the work and would call them again for future electrical needs."

"I hired Rich to install some recessed lights in my kitchen. He came across cocky and condescending, but I hoped it was warranted based on his ability. I was wrong. He thought installing two lights essentially on top of each other was a good idea. Not only was this unnecessary, but the placement dictated the placement of the remainder of the lights. As a result, all of the other lights were placed haphazardly. The switching configuration doesn't make sense, lights in one group are turned on with lights of another group, making the whole project come across very poorly thought out. Additionally, Rich does not bring spare parts on his projects and didn't offer to go pick up a dimmer switch that I wanted to add to try to undue some of the damages resulted from the poor placement. Therefore, after mocking me for being unable to install the switch on my own, he sent me to Menard's to pick up a switch for him to install. Overall, I wish I went with someone else. Obviously. Rich also does not leave with extra parts. Originally, I wanted 10 lights, but half way through the project, I realized 8 would suffice. However, Rich advised that he'd be charging me for all 10 anyway, so I might as well stick with 10 lights. So now I am stuck with 10 lights."

Customers say: Quick response

"In January 2023, Steve Durkiewicz stepped into a project that had previously become a financial nightmare and turned it into the dream project that we had first imagined. We had previously hired and paid ($1,765.00) a different person/business that claimed to be a licensed and experienced electrician, to install new lighting in our kitchen and home office, as well as install recessed lighting in our family room. But the job was a disaster, unprofessional and substandard - e.g. all electrical wiring was incorrect, ceiling drywall wire routing in relation to studs/framing was incorrect (i.e. ceiling drywall could not be repaired due to lack of space), etc. Steve came in and repaired all of that. With patience and professionalism, he explained every step as he made corrections, and still completed the task in a timely manner! Thank you, EMF Electric! You'll definitely hear from me again!"

"Gary installed recessed wafer lights and two new outlets in our living room, and new ceiling fans and switches in two bedrooms that had no prior electric/lighting. All work was completed in timely fashion and to high quality standards. Gary was very professional and kind. My favorite part of working with Gary was his excellent communication. He got back to us when others didn't. He made every necessary phone call to confirm planning and materials were just the way we wanted. He also happily adjusted his schedule to complete additional work for us and offered a gift on completion of work for our soon to be born son. If you're looking for a great local electrician, give Gary at SSE Electric a call."

"The two electricians showed up on time and were very professional. They ended up installing a 100A circuit and the job was neat and well done. They cleaned everything up after themselves. I am very happy with the result."

FAQs for electrical switches, outlets & fixtures install or repair projects in Plainfield, IL

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.
