Since light switches are used every day, it is easy to take them for granted. However, a dysfunctional switch often becomes noticed right away. Still, while the problem may be difficult to ignore, it can be challenging to know the cause of the switch’s failure. Many people deal with their stubborn switch for days, weeks or even months, simply because they are not sure what step to take next. At Mr. Electric of Fort Worth, we proudly provide high quality residential and commercial electrical services for clients in Fort Worth, Texas and surrounding DFW area communities. We enjoy helping our customers improve the safety and effectiveness of their electrical system, and we want to do the same for you. While a broken light switch may seem somewhat insignificant, neglecting to fix the issue could put you at risk of fires, property damage or personal injury. If you are worried about the condition of one or more of your light switches, here are some tips on how to solve the issue.
Unreliable Fixture
The guys were super nice, I loved that they did the work immediately. Also after having a discussion with them about the static electricity from a lightenimg strike we had and it fried everything they suggested a surge protector to keep that from happening again. So we did that.
Scheduled an appointment with Mr Electric of Fort Worth and received a call they were able to show up early and had Dylan show up on time stocked with a full truck. He was able to diagnosis the issue quickly and restore my power to a few plugs that were causing the breakers to trip continuously. Dylan was very knowledgable, clearly explained the cause and how he would fix the issue, and addressed all concerns that we had. He was replaced two breakers and installed 2 new outlets along with diagnosing the problem in about an hour. Very quick and so far seems to have resolved our electrical issue. Would definitely recommend Mr Electric of Fort Worth!
Dylan was so nice and always on time. Very qualified and explained everything he needed to do in a way I understood. My older house required an outside panel so I had a lot of work but Dylan and his helper worked together very well and finished on time so I was not out of power more than needed. Everything looked and worked great when done. I don't know how he was able to replace the cracked power pole and wiring on my roof so quickly and beautifully. I am very, very impressed with his skill level and would request him for any future work. The company is very well organized and office contact was a pleasure to work with(which is rare since these positions are usually underpaid)so reward her well, she is the "door" to your organization. She and Dylan sealed my deal!
Cody was professional, knowledgeable, and was able to provide me with a quick diagnosis pertaining to a wiring issue in one of my rooms. He gave me the price for the repair/modification and fixed the issue all in less than an hour. Thanks Cody!
At first glance, it may seem that the problem lies with your switch, when your light fixture is the culprit. Try swapping out the fixture with a new model, and test to see if you get the same result. If you are still experiencing flickering bulbs or inconsistency, then you will likely need to replace the switch.
Sparks
Do you sometimes see a small spark when you flip the switch? A load arc is a relatively common event that can occur when a connection is made within the light switch. However, if you see a large spark that is accompanied by a snapping sound, then your light switch needs a replacement.
We provide reliable, professional electrical services backed by licensed electricians and upfront pricing. Our team is committed to safety, quality workmanship, and on-time service for every job. With trusted local expertise and customer-first care, we deliver solutions you can count on.
Strange Noises
Have you noticed an unusual buzzing, popping or clicking sound in the area around your switch? This can indicate a wiring issue and should be resolved as soon as possible to avoid further development. A licensed electrician in Fort Worth will be able to conduct an inspection and pinpoint the cause of the noises.
Feels Hot
While it may be normal for a dimmer switch to feel a little warm to the touch after use, conventional light switches should always remain at room temperature. If you feel heat coming from your light switch, or see smoke, then call a local electrician right away.
