Switch and Dimmer Switch Installation in Tijeras, NM
A switch is the part of your electrical system you touch most. National Electric NM provides switch installation in Tijeras, NM, from replacing a worn toggle to dimmer switch installation and adding control from a second location.
Switch services
LED bulbs need dimmers designed for them. A mismatch causes flicker, buzzing, or lights that never fully turn off. We match the dimmer to your fixtures. Smart switches often need a neutral wire in the switch box, which some older Tijeras homes lack; we can add one.

Why Tijeras properties call a local electrician
Central New Mexico's high desert climate ages electrical systems in its own way. Around Tijeras, ultraviolet light breaks down exposed cable and plastic boxes, temperature swings loosen connections, and monsoon season brings surges and brief outages.
Most properties in Bernalillo County get their electricity from PNM. If your project touches the meter or main service, we handle the scheduling with the utility.
We provide switch installation throughout Tijeras and in nearby Cedar Crest, Edgewood, Sandia Park, and Kirtland AFB.

Switch & Dimmer Installation FAQs for Tijeras
Why do my LED lights flicker on a dimmer?
Usually the dimmer was made for incandescent bulbs, or the LED bulbs are not dimmable. A compatible LED dimmer normally fixes it.
Can you add a switch where there is none?
Yes. We can add a switch for an outlet, a fixture, or a fan, and add three-way control to existing lights.
Do smart switches work in older Tijeras homes?
Most do. Some need a neutral wire in the box. If yours has none, we either run one or use a model that does not need it.
Which areas around Tijeras do you cover for switch installation?
All of Tijeras and the surrounding Bernalillo County communities, including Cedar Crest, Edgewood, and Sandia Park.
