Switch and Dimmer Switch Installation in San Carlos, CA
Dimmers and LED bulbs do not always get along, which is why so many San Carlos homeowners call us about buzzing, flicker or lights that will not go fully off. We match the dimmer to the lighting load, check for a neutral where smart switches need one, and wire it so it works the way the box promised.

Switch and dimmer installation questions from San Carlos customers
Why do my LED lights flicker on a dimmer?
Older dimmers were built for incandescent loads. LEDs need a compatible dimmer with a suitable minimum load, and sometimes an adjustment of the dimmer's low-end trim.
Do smart switches need a neutral wire?
Most do. Many older San Carlos homes have switch boxes without a neutral, in which case we use a no-neutral model or bring a neutral to the box.
Can you add a second switch for the same light?
Yes. Converting a single switch to three-way control means running a new cable between the switch locations, or using a wireless companion switch where fishing cable is impractical.
