I was not very impressed with the service. After I bought the deal I was supposed to hear from them within three days. I had to call them several times and it was over a month before they returned my call. They said it was because it was Christmas and something was happening in the family or something. He did not check all of the outlets, which was part of the deal. He told me that because I had purchased the house in the last year or two that the home inspector should have done that so he was not going to do that. That was listed in the deal, that they were going to check all the outlets. I believe he came early and did not call to let me know he was coming early.

"Dani is one of the best contractors I have utilized. He is knowledgeable in the vast area of electrical, lighting and other electronic products. He installed several digital video and lighting equipment throughout our home. In addition, upgrading light fixtures and outdated electrical wall plugs. What I appreciated the most is he took to the time to educate me on the solutions and repairs he provided. If your looking for a professional and electrician I recommend DC Electrical Services! Would definitely used again in the future!"

"Everything accomplished cleanly and efficiently. The idea of a car charging plug requires a bigger system upgrade as our service is maxed out. Will definitely use them when that gets back in it he budget."

"We woke up to electricity in two rooms of our house not working. We contacted Mike at SOS Electric and he quickly came out and investigated the problem. Turned out we had several loose wires and bad circuit breakers that had caused soot in the fuse box. We were so glad Mike came out because our house could have burned down. He is a very nice young man and very trustworthy. He is now our go-to electrician!! Do not hesitate to call Mike if you have any electrical issues!"

"Juan is a master electrician and completed all three projects effortlessly. He installed a new four-receptacle outlet in my garage, added an outlet to an existing light switch in my dining room, and identified and corrected an outage with a light in my master bath. The cost was a bit high but I don't have anything to compare it to so I will simply believe it is the industry standard. I highly recommend G&M Electric. I will continue to give them my business, as needed."

FAQs for electrical switches, outlets & fixtures install or repair projects in San Marcos, TX

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.
