Frequently Asked Questions

What's a rocker switch?

A large flat switch plate that you press on one side for on, other side for off. Much easier to find and operate than small toggle switches.

Do you need an electrician?

Swapping like-for-like switches is straightforward. The wiring stays the same - we just change the switch plate.

Can you do all switches in the house?

Yes - we can replace as many as you need. Start with the most-used ones - hallway, bedroom, bathroom.

Are there illuminated options?

Yes - some rocker switches have a small glow so you can find them in the dark. Very helpful at night.
