"Bob has done and outstanding job for us. We are updating a good bit of the electrical work in the house. First and foremost he is following the current electrical code. He has updated all the outlets and switches in the house. He added numerous dimmer switches for various lights. He added wall speed controls for ceiling fans. He removed all the light fixtures and replaced them with new fixtures. He added hard wired under cabinet lighting in the kitchen. He is very professional, polite, and very knowledgable. Highly recommend."

"Danny is rude and unprofessional when interacting with the common man. He reminded me out of the blue, "you've got a small house, sorry but it is" very demeaning statement. I mentioned "I had a friend switch a few outlets" before I finished Danny rudely stated, "I DON'T CARE IF A FRIEND DID IT!" He tried to slip a nearly $500 extra on the Second project, (which I canceled) "oh, It's been a day." The ONLY, I mean ONLY reason I did breaker box project is Michael, technician, was extremely personable, knowledgeable, answered questions in simple terms. Had I encountered Danny first, it wouldn't of happend. Not impressed with his arrogance. "

"A few of the light switches were moved around and I wish we had discussed this in more detail prior to the project. They did tell me they were going to change some of the circuits but I didn't fully understand what that meant and what kind of outcome would occur. When I asked if they could reconnect a certain light to a certain switch they told me they'd have to do a bunch of rewiring and I'd have to pay more. The rest of the project went really well. I don't have a lot of money and my house looks like I don't have a lot of money but they treated me like they took me seriously anyway, it took me a year to save the money for the project and I never felt blown off as I had with some other companies from which I had obtained an estimate."

"The owner, is technically competent. I have technical background and I bombarded Brendan with lot of questions on scientific and mathematical and technical functions of heat pump, but Brendan immediately came up with satisfactory technical and scientific responses which cleared doubts and gave me optimism. Brendan and his team made feasibility study at the house and took measurements to ascertain the size of the heat pump and necessary modifications to the existing system in order to make new heat pump and system work efficiently with low costs of electricity and maintenance and with very low noise!!! The installation done by Brendan and his team appeared to be supported with stability. Trial run of new system initially made the team of Freedom Heating &amp; Air to do fine tuning and now the system is working comfortably with very low noise, etc ."

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