Bright Ideas: Everything You Should Know About Light Switches & Outlets

When you walk into a room and flip a light switch, you probably don’t think twice about it—but those tiny devices play a huge role in your home’s comfort, safety, and style. At Evergreen Electric, we believe even the smallest details—like your light switches and outlets—deserve quality attention and craftsmanship.

Gone are the days of plain toggle switches. Homeowners now have more options than ever:

  • Dimmer switches help set the mood and save energy.
  • Smart switches connect to Wi-Fi or smart assistants for voice or app control.
  • Motion sensor switches automatically turn lights on or off when someone enters or leaves the room—perfect for hallways or bathrooms.
  • Decor-style paddle switches add a clean, modern look to your walls.

No matter your style, Evergreen Electric can help you choose the right switch for each space and install it safely and professionally.

OUTLETS

OUTLETS

Your outlets are the workhorses of your home. Whether you’re charging devices, running appliances, or plugging in holiday lights, reliable outlets make daily life smoother. Here are a few types to consider:

  • Standard outlets: The classic two or three-prong receptacles found throughout most homes.
  • GFCI outlets: Required in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor spaces—these protect against electrical shock by shutting off power when moisture is detected.
  • AFCI outlets: These reduce the risk of electrical fires by detecting arc faults (sparks caused by damaged wiring).
  • USB outlets: Perfect for charging phones and tablets without bulky adapters.

If your outlets feel loose, show burn marks, or stop holding plugs securely, it’s time to call a licensed electrician for replacement.
