Your local choice for switch installation in New Boston, MI
New Boston is in Wayne County in Southeast Michigan, where a large share of the housing was built between the 1920s and the 1970s. That means plenty of 60 and 100 amp services, fuse boxes, ungrounded outlets and, in some neighborhoods, knob and tube or aluminum wiring. When we take on switch installation in New Boston, the first step is often bringing those older systems up to date.
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 New Boston with the actual fixtures on the circuit.

Switch and Dimmer Installation cost in New Boston
Switch and dimmer installation cost in New Boston depends on the type of control and whether new wiring is involved. A like-for-like swap is quick. Adding a three-way location or a neutral for a smart switch takes more work. Doing several switches in one visit lowers the price of each.

Questions about switch installation in New Boston
Can any light be put on a dimmer?
Most can, provided the bulbs or fixtures are marked dimmable and the dimmer is rated for them.
Why is my light switch warm?
Dimmers run slightly warm by design. A standard switch that is hot, or any switch that smells or crackles, should be replaced right away.
Do smart switches need a neutral wire?
Many do. Older New Boston homes often lack one at the switch, and we can add it or use a model that does not need it.
Can you add a second switch for a stairway light?
Yes. That is three-way switching and we install it regularly.
