Light switch and dimmer installation in Dallas
Dimmers, three-way switches, smart switches and timer switches installed and wired right.
Short answer: We replace worn switches and install dimmers, three-way and four-way switches, smart switches and timers. LED lights need a compatible dimmer, and we match them so you do not get flicker or buzz.
A switch that crackles, feels warm or does not click is worn out and should be replaced. LED bulbs on an old dimmer often flicker, buzz or will not dim low. Many smart switches need a neutral wire that older boxes do not have.
We check the box, the wiring and the bulbs, then fit the right switch for the job, including adding a neutral where needed.

Typical switch or dimmer
Per switch; smart switches needing a neutral run cost more.
Choosing the right dimmer
Check the bulb or fixture box for the dimmer types it supports, often listed as compatible with leading-edge or trailing-edge dimmers. Total wattage on the dimmer matters too. For a room of recessed LEDs, a dimmer rated for the LED load avoids flicker and buzz at low levels. We match the dimmer to the fixtures you have.
What moves the price
- Smart versus standard switch
- Neutral wire availability
- Three-way or four-way circuits
Light Switch & Dimmer Installation in Dallas homes
Older Dallas homes often have switch boxes without a neutral wire, which is the most common reason a smart switch will not work. We can add one or recommend a no-neutral switch that is rated for your load.
Questions people ask us
Why do my LED lights flicker when dimmed?
The dimmer is probably not rated for LEDs. An LED-compatible dimmer usually fixes it.
Do smart switches need a neutral wire?
Most do. Some models work without one. We check your boxes first.
Can you add a second switch for the same light?
Yes, by converting to a three-way circuit.
