"The Electrician called me immediately after I filled out the form on Service Magic. He was able to come and replace a bad switch i had within three hours of my having spoken with him. He was polite, professional and finished the job quickly and at an excellent price. I was very happy with the speed and quality of the service and would definitely use BN Electric again."

"Definitely would recommend. Rich and his assistant did a great job at a great price. They fixed multiple electrical issues on our 1940's home that we had just purchased. Some items were just updates like changing a dryer plug from a 3 prong to a 4 prong but others were safety issues such as changing an outdoor outlet to a GFI. We found Rich to be straight forward and easy to work with. We will not hesitate to call him for future electrical needs."

"Prodigy was very responsive and was able to install a new electric box within 1 day when the power was continuously going out in my home. The new main breaker and panel box fixed my issue and we were grateful that Prodigy was able to fit us in within 24 hours of the request! Great customer service."

"I recently had a new breaker box installed and the entire exterior wiring of my home reconstructed, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. The work was completed with exceptional professionalism, honesty, and attention to detail from start to finish. The team took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and provided straightforward recommendations without any pressure or unnecessary upselling. Their expertise and integrity gave me confidence that the job was being done right. The quality of the workmanship was excellent, and the project was completed efficiently and safely. The exterior wiring reconstruction looks great, and the new breaker box installation was done neatly and professionally. They left the work area clean and treated my property with respect throughout the process. If you're looking for electricians who are knowledgeable, reliable, honest, and truly committed to doing quality work, I highly recommend them. Five stars all the"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

No, both switches do not need to be on for a 3-way switch to work. When the two switches are in opposite positions, the circuit is open and the light is off. Flipping either switch closes the circuit and turns the light on. So, either switch can turn the light off independently, and both switches do not need to be in the same position for the switch to function.

Different types of light switches include single-pole switches (the standard switch in your home), double-pole switches, toggle switches, three-way switches, four-way switches, dimmer switches, and more. 

A single-pole light switch controls the power to a single device, whereas two-way, three-way, and four-way light switches control lights from different locations, increasing the number of connections in the home.

Services by electricians can quickly get expensive, but there are a few ways you can save money in the process:

  • Bundle multiple jobs done at the same time to save on trip fees or flat fees for individual projects.

  • Get at least three quotes for service to find the best deal.

  • Buy fixtures, switches, outlets, and other materials beforehand to avoid product markup.

  • If you feel comfortable with it, have an apprentice or journeyman complete the work under the supervision of a master electrician. These electricians in training tend to charge less per project.

Most commonly, aesthetics and practicality influence a move. If your renovation or remodel involves the wall in question, you’ll obviously need to relocate. It all comes down to personal preference. You’ll need to hire a professional electrician for this task, so be sure to hire a licensed pro with plenty of experience with this type of electrical task.

Simple moves on the same base or within a few feet will not take long, roughly three to four hours. Larger moves onto a new wall or transitioning a box from inside to outside will take 8 to 12 hours to complete. Ask your electrician for a time estimate prior to installation.
