“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!”

Security Cameras FAQ
Security Camera Installation questions, answered.
Straight answers about security camera installation in San Diego.
How many cameras can you install in one visit?
As many as you need. On our estimator, one wireless camera is about an hour or less and up to four wireless cameras fit in under two hours.
Do you sell the cameras?
No, you buy the cameras you want and we install them. If you’re unsure what to buy, we can help you compile the list during a consultation.
Can you add cameras to the system I already have?
Yes. We add new cameras to existing Ring, Arlo, Nest and similar systems, and connect new lights and cameras to what you already have.
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.
