Zoofy pricing is based on average professional rates, with fixed costs included and no call-out fees.
On average, replacing a dimmer with a standard switch takes about 1.4 hours, based on 176 jobs. It can be quicker if wiring is straightforward and easily accessible, and longer if extra checks or wiring adjustments are needed.
Zoofy also mentions that installing a switch often takes around 1 hour, depending on complexity and the condition of the wiring.
An electrician replaces your dimmer safely and connects the new switch correctly. The job usually includes:
Power off & safety check:
Switching off the circuit and confirming there’s no voltage on the wires.
Removing the dimmer:
Carefully disconnecting and removing the existing dimmer.
Checking & wiring the switch:
Inspecting the wiring and connecting the new switch properly and safely.
Mounting & finishing:
Installing the switch and faceplate neatly.
Testing:
Testing the light to ensure everything works as it should.
Zoofy screens electricians for craftsmanship and reliability. You can also read customer reviews to choose with confidence.
Zoofy states professionals score an average of 9.2 based on customer reviews.
After the job, you can contact Zoofy again for questions or follow-up support.
For warranty, it’s useful to know the difference: the professional is legally required to provide warranty if something wasn’t done correctly. Zoofy also offers an optional paid warranty package for extra peace of mind on top of the professional’s warranty.
Zoofy aims to match you with a suitable electrician quickly. The switch page mentions a large network of screened electricians, which increases the chance someone is available in your area.
You always pay via Zoofy—never directly to the professional (no cash and no card payment to the pro).
After completion, the easiest option is paying via the QR code: scan and pay securely. You can also pay via the invoice you receive by email.
