Call or message us at any time of the day to speak with a live member of our team. We’re happy to schedule an appointment or arrange an urgent switch replacement in Newtown, PA as soon as possible.

Recognizing the Signs of a Failing Light Switch

Light switches are built to last, but they aren’t indestructible. They can deteriorate due to frequent use, electrical surges, or internal wiring issues. Recognizing the warning signs of a failing switch can save you from a larger electrical problem down the line. Here are some tell-tale red flags to watch out for:

  • Delayed Response or Flickering Lights: This could indicate loose wiring inside the switch or a failing connection. Flickering may start subtly, but it often worsens over time.
  • The Switch Feels Loose or Stiff: Either of these issues could signal internal damage, making the switch unreliable and unsafe.
  • A Crackling or Buzzing Sound: If you hear a crackling, popping, or buzzing noise when you turn the switch on or off, it could mean there’s arcing occurring inside the switch. This means electricity jumps between connections instead of flowing smoothly.
  • Warm or Hot to the Touch: An overloaded circuit, loose wiring, or internal damage can overheat the switch, and this should be addressed immediately.
  • Sparks When You Flip the Switch: Occasional sparks are okay, but if you notice large, frequent, or bright sparks, it’s a sign of a more serious issue.

It’s always better to be safe than sorry, especially when our reliable local handymen offer quick and affordable light switch replacement. Contact us today to have your concerns assuaged.

We did a major renovation to our condo this past year and needed a single contractor with a variety of professional skills to accomplish a wide variety of tasks. We found that in Mr. Handyman that provided an amazing professional talent named Pat, and made it unnecessary to hire multiple vendors. In addition my wife and I are both 80 and handicapped, and needed a contractor who could do what we used to do and cannot now do ourselves. The services provided were: Major repairs and replacement of the shelving in all our closets, hanging heavy paintings original paintings, assembly of new furniture, the cutting and placement of felt underlayment for area rugs on newly installed luxury plank flooring, electrical lighting, installation of handicap support bars and many other tasks that capped off our total renovation project. A single point of services contractor with personnel with multiple skill sets saved time and money. The name Mr. Handyman is a misnomer. It should be "Mr. Multiple Professional Expert".  Their service fills a much needed space in the home services market.

Everything was awesome, Laura the office manager set everything up and managed the work from there, our technician Patrick was very knowledgeable, he worked with great skill and efficiency, he finished three jobs in the time estimated for one of them and the finished work was top notch, he replaced an exterior door, kitchen faucet and mailbox with new post. My wife and I are very pleased and booked Patrick for more work next week.

Why Light Switch Issues Should Not Be Ignored

Ignoring a faulty light switch can lead to more than just inconvenience. It can compromise the safety and functionality of your electrical system. Small electrical issues can quickly escalate into major repairs or even hazardous conditions. Taking action early can save you from costly repairs and potential danger.
Plus, why overlook issues when Mr. Handyman offers reliable switch replacements in Newtown, PA?

We Are Your One-Stop-Shop for Light Switch Solutions

If your switch is outdated, broken beyond repair, or showing signs of wear, replacing it is the best option. We offer a variety of light switch options including, but not limited to, rocker switches, dimmer switches, and smart switches to suit your needs, style, and budget.
