Signs Your Light Switches Need Replacement
There are two good opportunities to replace light switches in your home. The first is when you are renovating or updating a space. The second is when you notice they are wearing out. It’s always impressive to see the difference that can be made during a remodel by simply updating switches. However, there are other warning signs to look out for, such as your light switch may be damaged. This can include:
- Flickering lights
- High energy costs
- Humming behind a light switch
- Outdated design
- Burning smell or discoloration
- Poor response (takes the light time before turning on)
If you want to replace a light switch with a dimmer, working with an experienced electrician is important. New switches and plate covers can be chosen to emphasize your style changes to a room. Furthermore, installing dimmers lets you have functional levels of light exactly where you want it in a room. Be sure to ask about our special offers to make your dimmer installation even more affordable while enhancing the look and functionality of your space.
Update Your Light Switches and Dimmers
Your building may be old, but you can still enjoy the convenience of modern light switches. Whether you choose new toggles or dimmable dials, updating your light switches has numerous advantages. Having new dimmable lighting in a room can completely change its function. High levels of light promote a feeling of energy and productivity, while low levels of light can create a relaxing and warm atmosphere. Your new switches will let you choose the right amount of light for the situation. Installing a dimmer light switch can also add versatility to the rooms in your San Diego, California, home. For example, think of a dining room. Light can be adjusted to a brighter setting when the room is used as a workspace. Then they can be dimmed to add a hospitable feel to a dinner party. Dimmer switches add the convenience of taking advantage of different lighting for different occasions. Another benefit of updating your light switches is efficiency. Setting your new dimmers or smart switches halfway will use half the energy that you’d be using at full power. This will reduce your energy bill while also extending each bulb’s lifespan. Repairing a faulty switch can also help avoid electrical shortages or fire risks, which are common concerns as an electrical system ages. Be sure to schedule a wiring inspection today! Additionally, take advantage of our financing options to make your lighting upgrades more affordable and convenient.
