"I blew out a breaker switch on a cold snowy Sunday morning and had no power to basically one half of my condo. I called Speedy and Michael came to the city within an hour to diagnose my issue. Sure enough, he was able to figure it about and had the repair completed within an hour. Super friendly and didn’t try to upsell me on any other “upgrades “ to my current setup. Highly recommended and I will definitely use his services in the future. "

Small jobs welcome

"6 Stars! Joseph was great! He came in and surprised us. He actually reviewed our circuit panel before performing any work. I've hired other electricians, and they'd come in and quickly start opening wall or light outlets without understanding what they might be getting into. This indicated to me Joseph was a Professionalism. He wanted to know what he was getting into before just removing outlets. He also provided some minor recommendations for our panel such as some wire management to clean up our panel a bit. In the end, he resolved a couple of electrical matters we were experiencing. One being a 2-way light switch that wasn't working properly. He fixed it very easily (easy for him). Second, he resolved a bedroom outlet that wasn't working. (again, easy for him). We'll be hiring Joseph again in the coming days to install smart WiFi breakers in our panel box so that we can manage our breakers and monitor the home electricity usage on each floor and room from our phones.

"Joe arrived on time to examine the problem and immediately knew what had happened. He explained his theory (that the line had been cut) very clearly and demonstrated why he thought so. His expertise based in experience in dealing with similar problems were absolutely perfect for the job I needed done. He scheduled the work promptly and showed on time with 2 colleagues since a fair amount of digging was required. They dug up the old line and replaced it with a new line—upgraded by running it through rigid tubing so it couldn’t get cut ever again. I even got another unexpected and welcome upgrade since Joe provided a GFCI outlet on my patio. The team was very thorough and Joe was an excellent project manager. He is my new go-to for all things electric. I am very happy."

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