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
- Electrical troubleshooting: $79
South Hill, around Puyallup, is mostly newer subdivisions, townhomes and apartments built in recent decades along with some older homes. Newer South Hill homes usually have modern supply lines and fixtures, so calls tend to be fixtures, water heaters and breaker or outlet work rather than failed pipe.
