Common questions
Answers about
switches & outlets.
01Can you replace several devices during one visit?+
Yes. Grouping planned replacements is often the most efficient way to update switches, outlets, dimmers, and safety devices.
02Why does my GFCI keep tripping?+
It may be reacting to moisture, a connected appliance, damaged wiring, a downstream fault, or a failed device. Recurring trips should be diagnosed before replacement is assumed to be the cure.
03Do you install smart switches?+
Yes, when the selected device is compatible with the wiring, load, box space, and control setup.
