About this service
An electrical switch is the mechanism you use to break or complete the path of electricity to a light or appliance. You need one whenever you want manual control over your power usage. If a switch feels warm to the touch, flickers when you toggle it, or stops clicking into place firmly, it is time to have a professional inspect it for internal wear or loose connections. Replacing a faulty switch early prevents potential arcing or fire hazards behind your wall plates.
