Electrical Switches & Outlets Services in Rockwall, TX

There are many types of electrical switches that homeowners can choose to install in their Rockwall, TX, residences. These devices are vital as they complete or break the electrical circuit, allowing you to use your electronic appliance. Without an electrical switch, all the electric-powered equipment in your house would be rendered useless.

All the electricity flowing through the wires behind the walls gets to you via these components. Even though these fixtures are vital, they hardly earn the respect they deserve. Most people will never stop to think about their outlets and switches unless an issue arises. Because of general wear and tear, these outlets and switches will eventually develop problems.

They’re also most likely to fail if they’re outdated or their lifespan is over. However, in most cases, your sockets and switches will fail to work correctly due to problems emanating from the electrical system itself. They include loose wires, fuse burnouts, or broken switch mechanisms. While a repair may fix some of these troubles, a switch or outlet replacement may be the only solution sometimes.

Types of electrical switches and outlets we work with:

Standard Toggle Switches
Decorative Switches
3-Way Switches
4-Way Switches
Motion Detector Switches

USB Outlets
220-Volt Lines for Large Appliances
Smart Outlets

Modern Electrical Switches in Rockwall

A significant evolution has been witnessed since the invention of the first switch, bringing onboard a great range of switches. Electrical switches can be classified as one-way, two-way, or three-and four-way. Others include dimmer and multi-location switches.

Although there’s not much difference in their style, they differ in functionalities. For example, the single-pole or one-way switch controls just one circuit. It turns the light on and off from a single location. A double-pole, aka a two-way switch, controls separate circuits.

Three-way switches are appropriate for controlling a light fixture from two different locations. For example, a long stairway or hallway can have a three-way electrical switch at each end. That allows you to turn on the lights when approaching one end of the stair or hallway and turn them off from the other end. A three-way switch doesn’t have toggle handle switches because one position doesn’t necessarily mean it’s on or off.

In short, either switch can at any time control the on-off function of the light fixture. A four-way switch will allow you to operate your light from three or more locations. These switch types are also available in different colors. You can select one of your choice and one that complements your home’s interior. Likewise, you can get grounded, tamper-resistant, two-prong, USB, and AFCI receptacles.

As previously mentioned, switches are subject to malfunction. Therefore, knowing when to replace them is crucial. But since these apparatus are designed to last for years, recognizing when to replace them can be tricky. However, that doesn’t mean you forget about them. Worn-out switches and outlets can pose the risk of electrical shocks or fires in the home. As such, you want to schedule a switch repair or outlet replacement service as soon as possible!

Signs you need to upgrade your electrical switches or outlets:

Buzzing noises

Switch emits sparks or heat

Lights can’t turn on or are flickering
