"Peter and his crew were extremely efficient and did a fabulous job of clean up and planting of grass in the area where tree was removed. The project evolved out of sudden loss of a large limb from a a three rooted tree due to decay. It was a very large project and peter was responsive immediately and his crew was hardworking and very pleasant throughout the day. I would highly recommend them"

"Eduart was quick to respond. He contacted me and said he could be here within an hour. He was courteous and respectful upon entering my home. He checked out our electrical problem and fix it in about 20 minutes. He even took the time to show my husband a couple of things that needed a little tweaking. He did an excellent job. Would definitely contact him again should I have anymore electrical issues. Thank you Eduart. "

"Just too expensive for what you get. Feels like a big company nickel and dime move. I get having a trip charge. Which was $109. But then to have the tech who was great btw (not his fault), but was tentative about fixing the problem because of creating more damage. Another $160 for a simple diagnostic charge, again without fixing the problem. I already knew the diagnosis. So he basically did a Band-Aid fix (greased the Knob) and still charged me over $280+ for what equated to be 10 minutes of work. It was ridiculously high for the service provided. Next time I?m going to an independent, local guy. "

FAQs for electrical switches, outlets & fixtures install or repair projects in Schenectady, NY

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.
