"James was referred to us through a friend at work. We needed an overhaul of our electrical system, including new wiring, outlets and switches, an entirely new service and electrical panels. Well let me just say, after seeing what he accomplished on day one we knew we had an electrician for the rest of our properties without a doubt. Professional, punctual, and priced accordingly. Top notch!!!"

"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 In addition, upgrading light fixtures and outdated electrical wall plugs.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!"

"Contacted Mr. Electric Austin location to install a thermostat and troubleshoot an electrical problem (outside outlet was tripping if used a  GSI outlet in a bathroom). Wait time for an appointment was one week, I left work early to make service window.  A half hour into my call window called Mr. Electric was immediately put on hold for five minutes till someone answered and I asked when the tech was actually going to show up was put on hold again, and when the lady came back on the phone said the tech was still on his last call it was taking longer than expected. The lady asked if she could give me a call back when she had a better idea when he will be out to my area I of course said Yes. <br /> Well, a half hour later the lady called me back and said the tech could make it there in a half hour I said that was fine.  The tech showed up followed by a unknown gentlemen who I assumed was a manager doing a proficiency check on the tech he never introduced himself or even talked to me.  The tech greeted me and asked what I needed done I first showed him the thermostat the main reason for the call and because it was a smart one he could not install it which annoyed me greatly. <br /> Moving onto the next reason for the call he asked what the electrical problem was so he could evaluate it for pricing purposes I explained what was going on with the outside front outlet and the bathroom GSI outlet and he asked for a vacuum to try and trigger the breaker and tested both the bathroom's outlet and the front outlet well he could not replicate the outlet's problem we even got a electrical lawn mower out and tried for more amps-nothing! <br /> In light of all this the tech was extremely professionally even though we could not trigger the outlet tripping he never made me feel I was wasting his time.  I believe the electrical problem might have gotten fixed when they moved (Mr. Electric)  the washer to its own breaker previously  all three outlets might have been on a shared breaker.  I just didn't want to mess with electricity which was way I put the service all in.  Not having the thermostat installed is still an issue but this wasn't the tech's fault nor being late in light of all this I did not get charged for the call. <br />"

"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!"

"Greats customer service, quick response time. My chandeliers were hung quickly and efficiently, care was taken to insure no damage was inflicted on the glassware of the chandelier. I gave a four star in quality due to: it took four rewiring attempts to get the 2 pole dimmer to work, the electrician kept looking at the switch diagram booklet after each rewire attempt. One of which electrically damaged one LED dimmer switch of which I had to discard at a loss. And the electrician billed me for the 15 minutes it took him to restore the ladder on his truck."

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.
