"We are really happy with the work. CDE provided great advice to position new fixtures plus what to look for in selecting and placing the lights, outlets and wiring to minimize work to patch ceiling after the install. Definitely knowledgeable and courteous. CDE gave prompt estimates and stayed on budget and schedule. We will definitely use CDE again."

"Ryan is an excellent electrician. We asked him to change a switch for bathroom light. He was able to fix potentially dangerous wiring and replace the switch. He also replaced two wall sconces. He is careful and meticulous in his approach to any job. He has done many jobs at our home that other electrical services did not fix. I would reckon highly"

"S & S Eletric was friendly, reliable, knowledgeable, skilled, and well priced. I had a new outlet installed for a garage door opener and a couple of outlets upgraded "to code." The results were perfect. I will call S and S for any future electric work."

"My specialized ceiling fan had stopped working. JME Electric came out and diagnosed the problem. I required a new receiver and remote control transmitter. They ordered it on line. As soon as they had the part (9 days later), Jake, the owner called me to schedule the follow-up appointment. Then, they came back and fixed the problem in 10 minutes! The fan (remote control) works great now! For each appointment, they were able to accommodate MY busy schedule. They were respectful of my time, always arriving on time. I highly recommend GME Electric for your electric and ceiling fan needs."

"Jeff was wonderful. He fixed our electrical in the family room for only $200. Another electrician wanted $5500 and would have ripped us off. Jeff was a wonderful problem solver. We are so happy to finally have light and electricity back in our family room. We will have Jeff come back in the spring for somemore work. We are finally found a trust worthy and reliable electrician. Thank you Jeff for bringing the light back in our lives. Havea great day. See you in the spring."

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.
