Light switches and other electrical switches play a crucial role in any home or office renovation involving electrical work. These components are not just functional, they also enhance the aesthetics of your spaces.
Consider investing the time to select the most appropriate light switch for your spaces. Entrusting light switch installation, repair, and replacement to a licensed, and insured resource is essential to mitigate potential hazards.
Indications That Your Light Switch Needs Repair or Replacement
Indications That Your Light Switch Needs Repair or Replacement
Delayed Activation of Light Fixture
Have you ever encountered a delay in your light fixture turning on after flipping the switch? This delay often signifies that the internal metal components of the switch are worn out, impeding the flow of electricity through the circuit. In such cases, replacing the light switch is usually necessary.
Large Sparks from the Light Switch
While small sparks are usually harmless and caused by a “load arc” during electrical transitions, significant sparks accompanied by noise indicate a faulty light switch. If you ever see sparks, immediately stop using that switch and please reach out!
Noisy Operation of Light Switches
Light switches with worn-out components or loose electrical connections may generate buzzing noises. This suggests the need for repair or replacement. However, if the noise emanates from a dimmer switch, it’s advisable to check if it’s the light bulb causing the buzzing, as dimming effects can sometimes be the culprit.
