Why do I need a licensed electrician for a light switch installation?

If you’re installing a switch where there wasn’t one before, Texas law requires a licensed electrician to do the work.

A licensed electrician will ensure your switch is installed correctly and identify potential issues that may not be obvious during a basic replacement.

How long does a light switch installation take?

Most standard light switch installations take 30 to 60 minutes, while smart switches or new wiring may take longer. Mr. Electric offers upfront, flat-rate pricing, eliminating concerns about hourly rates.

Can faulty or outdated light switches be replaced?

Most Common Light Switches We Install

Toggle switches are a classic choice that many homeowners know and trust. Their simple flip mechanism provides dependable control for individual lights, fixtures, appliances, and other electrical devices throughout the home. For homeowners who prefer a traditional appearance or need a direct replacement for an existing switch, toggle switches offer a practical solution.
Rocker switches feature a wider, flatter design that provides a contemporary alternative to traditional toggle styles. They are easy to operate and pair well with many updated home designs. These switches are commonly installed in kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas where homeowners want a cleaner, more modern look.
Slider switches allow homeowners to adjust lighting levels for different activities and moods. Paired with compatible fixtures, they provide dimming control that helps create a comfortable atmosphere while reducing unnecessary energy use. They’re a popular choice for homeowners who want more flexibility from their existing lighting.
Push-button switches add a unique design element while providing reliable lighting control. Their distinctive appearance makes them a good fit for custom renovations, specialty spaces, or homeowners who want something different from standard switch styles.
