  • The trusted service professionals can get to the bottom of the buzzing or flickering dimmer switch lights. We will check if we’re dealing with a wiring issue, especially if the switch is humming or popping, or if the light bulbs in the fixture are not compatible with the dimmer switch and offer you solutions that comply with your local building code.

  • If a dimmer switch gets hot when it’s activated, there could be a short in the switch, or the switch may be overloaded. This situation can pose a fire hazard. Don’t operate the switch until your trusted service provider gets to the bottom of the issue.



  • If a dimmer switch has stopped working, make sure its circuit breaker isn’t tripped. Alternatively, the dimmer switch may have gone bad and must be replaced.

    Highly recommended! Installed my Tesla Charger and it was a difficult project with my breaker box in the basement but it was no issue at all.
