Our team of home service professionals specializes in outdoor and indoor light timer installations. Your light timer will replace your conventional light switch, so the lights turn on and off according to a predetermined schedule. You can always change this schedule as needed. Your light timer will save energy, as you will no longer have to remember to turn the lights off when you leave a room or leave your house for the day. Light timer installations also increase comfort and convenience, as they are easy for people with limited dexterity or mobility. They also improve safety and security, as you can program your lights to turn on and off even when you're away from home. Here's a look at the most common types of programmable timer light switches so you can choose the right one for your home, needs, and lifestyle:

• Electronic Programmable Timer Switches – These timer switches are digital and can typically accommodate seven daily on-and-off schedules. They also often have a randomizer that turns lights on and off at varying times, so it seems like someone is home even if they aren't. This type of light timer is very versatile and convenient.
• Mechanical Spring-wound Timer Switches – This type of switch is often seen for exterior lights, bathroom lights, or fans. It operates via a dial that you wind to select the time the light will stay on. It doesn't offer as many options for customization, but works well if you want exterior lights to stay on for a set number of hours.
• Plug-in Timer – Plug-in timers are designed to work for one light or appliance and don't necessitate replacing a light switch with a timer switch. These are a great option for renters or people who want more flexibility about where to use the timer. This timer plugs into a wall outlet and then controls any device plugged into it. It operates by turning a dial and moving pegs to the desired settings.
