Replacing or Installing a Light Switch in your Dallas Area Home.

What kind of a job is this? Can it be done by the homeowner, or is it better left to a professional who has done it over and over again? No question about it, light switches are among the most important energy-saving tools in our homes. They allow us to easily turn off lights when lighting is not necessarily needed.

When a light switch wears out, it does not work or, even worse, it gives off sparks it is definitely a fire and shock hazard and should be replaced immediately! You don’t need an electrician to tell you that. Maybe the most logical reason to replace a light switch is better functionality. In other words, tackle the situation before it becomes a hazard.

Light ‘Em Up!

If a light switch fails to function, it should be replaced.  Most modern switches have screw terminals on each side and may also have holes in the back in order to accept the end of the wire. Even though plug-in connections may be more convenient, they are less reliable than those with screw terminals, so we advise you not to use them.

Here are some of the descriptions of the wires –

1.  The white wire connects to the silver screw.

2.  The black wire (the hot one) goes to the brass screw.

3.  The green or bare wire attaches to the green screw.
