When you’re looking at replacing residential electrical switches in Kansas City, you have several options to choose from. Well-designed lighting and ceiling fans with convenient controls can change the whole look and feel of your home. JMC Electric can also outfit your residential lighting with a variety of sensors, timers, and other components for better control and energy efficiency.

Types Of Switches For Lighting

• A toggle light switch is the most common type of light switch. It is actuated by a lever that is angled in two positions, enabling the circuit to be switched on and off.
• A push-button switch may come in a variety of configurations depending on how the circuit is activated and cut. It is a dual position device that can be pressed and released.
• A selector switch can be actuated by either a rotary knob or lever with multiple positions to control the on or off of different circuits by rotating the handle.
• A proximity switch works by utilizing a sensor that actuates the current when it detects movement and switches off when the person leaves the room.
• A photoelectric switch utilizes a sensor that activates the circuit when the area is dim and shuts off automatically when normal light levels are restored.
• A dimmer switch regulates the flow of current to the system so that the bulb emits an adjustable amount of light.

Types Of Switches For Ceiling Fans

• Chain switches are the standard fan speed control. Three speeds are operated by a chain hanging from the fan.
• A tap fan control switch has two tap buttons, one each for the fan and lights. 
• A single slide fan and light control is used with only one fan and one lamp. This switch allows for 3 fan speeds on a vertical slider knob, but the lights and the fan are dimmed simultaneously. 
• A single slide fan control push button light switch is available with three speeds and controls a single fan with a light package. The light switch is a flat button on/off toggle.
• A dual slide fan and light control provides individual slide knobs for both the fan and the light.
