A dimmer that buzzes, a switch that has to be pressed twice, or an outlet that will no longer hold a plug are all signs that a replacement is overdue. In Wilmette, Oakbridge Home Services (Somax Group LLC) replaces outlets and switches, with dimmers and standard switch replacement as the focus, and prices the work from a description and photos sent in advance.

What details help you price a switch?
The room, whether it is a dimmer, standard or three-way switch, and a photo showing the switch and its plate.
How much does dimmer installation cost?
It depends on the number and type of switches and outlets. Send a description, photos, your ZIP code or address and a phone number for a price.
