Q: Can I install a dimmer switch on any light?

• <div><p>You can install a dimmer switch on almost any light as long as the switch, bulb, wiring, and wattage are compatible. Check what kind of light you have, the type of light bulb, and the total wattage of the bulbs to ensure your dimmer is a match. You&rsquo;ll want to choose a non-neutral wire dimmer if you don't have neutral wiring. Homes built before 1985 that don't have updated electrical systems may not have neutral wiring.</p></div>

They were terrific. Very friendly, efficient and low key. I will call them again for some more work I want done. My only complaint was how long it took to schedule them, (almost a month out) but once here, they did a great job. I would recommend Jeff and Dwelling Electric, for sure.
