Installation costs vary based on several factors, such as the scope of the job and if any other components are needed, such as running wires for another circuit. The best way to find out the cost is to contact your local Mr. Electric.

With programmable timers, you’ll be able to adjust on and off times right on the control panel. It’s just as easy as adjusting your thermostat. Timer switches have buttons directly on the panel which makes it easy to change settings.

Hardwired Wall Switch Timers

There are several types of wall switch timers to choose from. The most common timers in residential settings include:

• Photovoltaic timers, which measure the amount of light present and turn lights on and off according to those measurements. These are an extremely popular option for lights mounted on the exterior of a home.
• Astronomic timers, which calculate sunrise and sunset and use those calculations to decide when lights should be turned on and off.
• Motion detector timers, which sense movement in a room or space for a pre-set period. They are ideal for rooms where you need a hands-free environment such as a laundry room or bathroom. For outside, motion detectors are great for garages and porches to avoid walking in the dark. 
• Programmable switches, which allow day-to-day pre-set times for lights to turn on and off. They can also give the impression you’re home when you’re away.

Plug-In Timers

Plug-in timers are a good short-term, limited use solution for turning on and off specific lamps, appliances, or seasonal decorations at pre-set times. With indoor and outdoor plug-in timers, not only will you be able to decrease your overall utility cost, but you’ll avoid leaving holiday decorations on all day or coming home to a dark house.
