Service Overview

Questions & Answers
Common options include standard single-location switches, multi-location switches, dimmers, timer switches, occupancy sensors, and other compatible controls. The correct choice depends on the load, existing conductors, control requirements, and device compatibility.
Often, but the dimmer must be compatible with the connected lighting and the wiring available in the switch box. Some electronic controls have additional conductor requirements, so the existing circuit should be inspected before selection.
Yes, in many situations. Adding a new control point usually requires determining how wiring can reach the switch location and controlled device. Wall construction, attic or crawlspace access, existing circuits, and desired switch placement affect the installation method.
Multi-location control requires a compatible switching arrangement and the necessary conductors between control points. Existing wiring should be identified carefully because a standard single-switch circuit may not already contain the conductors needed for another control location.
Separate control may be possible when the fan, light kit, switch box, and available conductors support that arrangement. If suitable wiring is not already present, additional wiring or a compatible control system may be required.
