Here are some frequently asked questions to think about. If you have any questions, give us a call. Milk is here to help.
What are smart switches, and how do they work
Smart switches connect to your home’s Wi-Fi or Bluetooth network, allowing you to control lights remotely via a smartphone app or voice commands. They integrate with home automation systems like Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. Some smart switches offer additional features like scheduling, dimming, and energy monitoring
Can I install a dimmer switch on any light fixture
Not all light fixtures or bulbs are compatible with dimmer switches. Standard incandescent and dimmable LED or CFL bulbs work with dimmers, but you need to check if the fixture and bulbs are dimmable. Using non-dimmable bulbs with a dimmer can damage the bulbs and the switch.
Can a light switch go bad over time
Yes, light switches can wear out due to age, frequent use, or electrical surges. Signs of a faulty switch include flickering lights, difficulty switching, a hot switch, or unusual sounds like buzzing.
