About Switch Your Fixture

A remodeler’s eye. An installer’s focus.

Switch Your Fixture was started by Matt Lowen, a San Diego home remodeler with 20 years of contracting experience. We’re licensed electrical and plumbing contractors who install the fixtures you buy, carefully and at one published rate, so you don’t need a general contractor for a faucet or a fan.

Our story

You buy it.

If you’ve ever bought a new light fixture, faucet or ceiling fan and left it sitting in the box because you didn’t have the time, tools or know-how to install it, you’re not alone. Switch Your Fixture was created to solve that problem.

We install electrical, plumbing, security and home comfort fixtures you’ve already purchased, across San Diego County. Too busy, not tall enough, not great at installation? No problem. Simply give us a call or set a time, and we’ll be there to switch your fixture.

A contractor. Switch Your Fixture is run by licensed electrical and plumbing contractors, started by Matt Lowen, a San Diego home remodeler with 20 years of contracting experience. We focus on installing plumbing, electrical, security, comfort and appliance work you have bought, at one published rate, rather than full remodels.

What safety precautions do your technicians take in my home?

Our technicians follow a strict protocol for customers, employees, tools and equipment. We protect floors and countertops while we work, keep our distance when you prefer it, and clean up the work area before we leave.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept cash, checks, credit and debit cards, Zelle and Venmo.

Reviews

An extraordinary

Exterior lighting & cameras
“We would not hesitate to recommend SWITCH YOUR FIXTURE to anyone needing to install or upgrade their exterior lighting and security camera equipment! A professional and enjoyable experience from first conversation through an installation that included assisting in connecting the new lights and cameras to our existing system. It was very helpful that they knew what was available on the market and showed their expertise when explaining why they suggested the lights they did. Matt Lowen [owner] and Benny [the electrician] are an extraordinary 5-Star team!”

“Amazing!!! Professional! Clean and precise! I’m very particular on how I wanted my optical displays. The team crushed it!!! They went above and beyond my expectations. They confirmed and double checked everything with me every step of the way and I really appreciate it that. I will definitely be using them for all my work at home, my office or any other setting I need things done.”
