What it usually is
A dead switch is usually a worn-out switch, a loose connection or a tripped breaker. A switch that is warm or buzzing should be handled right away.
What to do first
Check the breaker first. If the switch is warm, crackles or smells burnt, leave it off and call.
The flat rate that covers it
- Outlet or switch replacement: $129
