5.0 on Google
“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!”

Doorbell Cameras FAQ
Doorbell Camera Installation questions, answered.
Straight answers about doorbell camera installation in San Diego.
Can you install a doorbell camera if I don’t have a wired doorbell?
Yes. Battery doorbells don’t need wiring, and many wired models can run from a plug-in transformer. We’ll recommend the cleanest setup for your door.
Will my old chime still ring?
With most wired doorbells, yes. We connect the doorbell to your existing chime or add the brand’s chime kit so the indoor chime keeps working.
Can you install security cameras at the same time?
Yes. A wireless camera is about an hour or less; up to four cameras fit in the under-2-hours group on our estimator.
How much does fixture installation cost in San Diego?
Switch Your Fixture charges a $159 service call that includes the first hour of labor. Additional labor is $159 per hour, billed in 15-minute increments of $39.75. Every service is billed at the same rate, so you can add up the time for your fixtures and multiply by the hourly rate to build your own estimate.
What happens if my fixture takes less than, or more than, an hour to install?
Our service call includes an hour of labor to install your fixture. If it takes less than an hour, we offer other services to fill the time, such as changing bulbs, swapping switch plates or hanging a picture. Additional labor is billed in 15-minute increments at our hourly rate.
What if the fixture I bought doesn’t fit?
If we arrive and your fixture doesn’t fit, we only charge a 15-minute consultation fee ($39.75). The consultation gives you the information you need to buy the correct fixture, and we rebook your install.
Can you install multiple fixtures on the same visit?
Yes, that’s what we do. Every fixture is billed at the same rate, so put your whole list in one request: a fan, a faucet, a TV and a doorbell can all go in on the same trip under one service call.
Do you warranty your work?
Yes. We warranty all of our installations. If something we installed is not working the way it should, call or text (619) 677-8677 and we will come back and make it right.
Do you need a different kind of install?
Book it on the same visit.
