Outlets & Switches FAQ
Outlet & Light Switch Installation questions, answered.
Straight answers about outlet & light switch installation in San Diego.
How much does outlet replacement cost?
Up to three plugs or switches fit in the first hour of the $159 service call. Up to ten are in the under-2-hours group, billed at $39.75 per 15 minutes after the first hour.
Can you install smart switches?
Yes. Most smart switches need a neutral wire; we check the box and pair the switch with your app or hub.
Why does my GFCI outlet keep tripping?
It may be a failing outlet, moisture or a fault on the circuit. We test and replace the GFCI and tell you if the cause is elsewhere.
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.
