Northern Michigan gets its power from Consumers Energy, from cooperatives such as Great Lakes Energy, Cherryland Electric and Presque Isle Electric and Gas, and from a few municipal utilities. Whichever one serves your address in Traverse City, we start switch installation in Grand Traverse County the same way, with a look at the service, the panel and how the property is actually used through the seasons.
We provide switch installation throughout Traverse City, including Boardman, Traverse Heights, Oak Park, Downtown and Old Town.
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 Traverse City with the actual fixtures on the circuit.

What does switch installation cost in Traverse City, MI?
Switch and dimmer installation cost in Traverse City 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 Traverse City
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 Traverse City 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.
