Why dimmer switches need a qualified electrician
Dimmer switches use more wiring and components than a standard switch, and fitting the wrong type for your bulbs, LED versus halogen for instance, is a common cause of flickering or buzzing. Our electricians match the dimmer module to your lighting circuit and wiring, so it dims smoothly without damaging bulbs or the switch itself.
We replace faulty dimmer modules, upgrade standard switches to dimmers, and test the finished circuit before we leave. All work follows current BS 7671 standards, with appointments across London within the M25, including bank holidays.
