Dimmer Switches—Electrical professionals will install this. They replace regular light switches with dimmers in order to provide varying light intensities across rooms for different moods and also to help save energy.
It starts by turning off the power in the circuit breaker as a security measure. Then, the old switch is removed and a wire from it is connected on to the new dimmer—connecting to those on the new dimmer using wire nuts or other connectors that mostly come with most kits—by an electrician. All that is left is to secure everything into place, and then the power can be turned back on in order to test the work.
This type of service differs depending on whether it is in residential homes, commercial buildings, or industrial facilities, because of the varying wiring systems emanating from these places.
In houses, installing a single-pole dimmer—one that controls one fixture—is quite easy. Depending upon the number of fixtures are included and are there needs for the fixtures to all be on or off together, and so forth. Characteristics may be assembled into multi-location installations where one or more switches control the same fixture(s) for businesses (commercial) such as restaurants where ambiance is such an important consideration but which also have many more fixtures than most typical residences.
In factories, warehouses, etc. (industrial) high or dischargement-intensity lamps normally require special ‘low-voltage’ types because regular household varieties will not be able to handle such a load which is required to perform properly without overheating which in turn will also cause damage to other components.
When looking to hire someone for this job, consider not only the price quotes given but also whether the person or company has proper licensing or certification required by state or local authorities, plus good reviews and references from past clients, since quality and safety are never things to be compromised on.
