Do you have a broken switch and need to schedule switch repair or installation in Des Moines, IA?

If repairs involve your home’s electric system, you should contact an electrician.

Installing a new light switch might be something you can handle, but if it involves wiring or working with your panel box, it probably needs a professional sign-off for safety.

If you’re scheduling switch installation for a new light fixture or garbage disposal, or you need to add something to your breaker box, have a licensed electrician assess the job and make recommendations that meet code requirements.

Service the Golden Rule way

Our service calls have two goals: identify what’s wrong with the system and give you options on how to fix it. You get to decide how you’d like to proceed with the repair, and we’ll make sure you’re quoted a fair price for the work. No, if’s, and’s, or but’s. Just our promise to you.

Minimum fee without repair: $72 (Free for Golden Rule Club Members)

Expert Switch Repair in Des Moines

Every time you walk into a room, you might hit the light switch. A single switch could be used dozens of times per day. Over time, it wears out. Eventually, you hit the switch and it doesn’t work.

The light doesn’t come on. The same is true for switches that control any function in your home, whether it’s a power switch to turn specific outlets on or off, or a switch for an appliance.

A licensed electrician can often handle switch repair services in a matter of minutes. In many cases, it’s a simple matter of taking out the old switch and putting in a new one.

When should you consider having your switches repaired or replaced:

You want to add a dimming function

The switch doesn’t work

It makes a popping or buzzing noise or delayed on/off reaction

If you’re installing new fixtures, chances are you also need switch installation services to provide controls. Adding track lighting or under cabinet lighting in your kitchen is a great way to get a spotlight where you need it, but you’ll also need to put in a new switch to turn your new lights on and off.

Switch & Outlet Repair/Replace FAQs

Repairing or replacing:
When a switch or outlet isn’t working right, the first thing to do is determine what, if anything, needs to be replaced. An Golden Rule electrician will always bring damaged parts to your attention, and work closely with your budget to find the best solution for you and your family.

Electrical modifications:
Electrical modifications are sometimes necessary if a home’s wiring is particularly old. Modern appliances require more power than ever, so situations can come up where panel upgrades or even a whole-home or partial-home rewiring is necessary to accomplish the repair or replacement. We’ll alert you to these situations during our diagnostic and have financing available for repairs or upgrades with higher costs.

Contractor experience:
When hiring a company or individual contractor to repair or replace your switch or outlet, it’s best to think in terms of the value provided rather than the cost by itself. Golden Rule keeps our prices fair and adds additional protections that smaller contractors just can’t provide. While their pricing may be slightly lower, Golden Rule‘s value simply can’t be beaten by any other electrical contractor in Des Moines.
