This was an upgrade to already existing insulation that had holes in spots and was not thick enough in others. They were professional and efficient. This was done very recently, so I am hopeful it will decrease my next electric bill and keep the house a bit more cool :).

Worn-out or faulty internal switch components can also prevent it from functioning properly. Loose or disconnected wiring within the switch or electrical box is another frequent issue. Additionally, switches may fail due to age, excessive use, or physical damage. In some cases, problems with the light fixture or bulb itself might be mistakenly attributed to the switch.

GFCI outlets should be clearly labeled with LINE and LOAD labels, with arrows leading to the proper terminals. The line terminals are typically at the top, and the load terminals are typically at the bottom.
