Switch and Dimmer Installation for Chatham homes and businesses

Chatham is in Alger County in the Upper Peninsula, where winter arrives early and stays late. Heavy lake-effect snow, ice and wind are hard on overhead service lines, and many homes, camps and cabins here were wired decades ago. That shapes how we approach switch installation in Chatham: equipment rated for the cold, connections sealed against moisture and work planned around the weather.

Why LED lights need the right dimmer

Older dimmers were designed for incandescent bulbs that drew far more power. Put an LED on one and you often get flicker, a faint buzz or lights that will not go fully off. Dimmers made for LED loads solve this, and most have an adjustment for the low end of the range. We test every dimmer we install in Chatham with the actual fixtures on the circuit.

Pricing for switch installation in Chatham
