You may not feel like this is a necessity, but they can be a wonderful addition that add functionality and ambience for multiple occasions and settings.

Imagine any of the following advantages to figure out if this type of dimmer regulator is right for you:

Set the mood in your home

If you have guests in your home or you’re trying to enjoy a movie night, having bright, glaring lights can totally throw off the evening and negatively impact your plans. Dimmer switches, on the other hand, allow you to set the exact amount of light you need for your occasion and mood.

Save power and money

By reducing the light intensity when appropriate, you can reduce your electricity consumption and maintain your power usage at the right level.

Modernise your space

They are a great way to modernise and upgrade your home without the cost of a full smart home upgrade.

When it comes to the cost, there are two factors to keep in mind:

• The switch itself
• The cost of installation

The switches themselves generally cost between $10 and $40. Installation can cost an additional $100-$200.

That said, there are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to the installation. For one, you need to make sure that the switch that you install are compatible with your light fixtures. Otherwise, you could face:

• Short light lifespan
• Flickering lights
• Lights burning out

All of these issues are equal parts frustrating and costly to fix. Looking more broadly, working with incompatible lights could be a major fire hazard. That’s why it’s important that you work with professionals that can check the circuit, ensure that you have compatible bulbs, and select the most appropriate and compatible dimmers for your needs.

Depending on how many switches you want installed in your home, the project can take anywhere from one hour to a full day. That said, if you need new wiring or to select new, compatible fixtures, this could add some time to the project.

When it comes to something as important as the electricity and the wiring in your home, you don’t want to work with someone who is unskilled or unprofessional. When looking for a skilled, seasoned professional, it’s important that you ask and understand:

Your total budget

You may not know the going rates and exactly how much services will cost, but understanding your own starting point can help ensure that you pick the right services and that you don’t go totally out of budget.

Recommendations and reputation

The right electrician will be able to provide you with references. They will also likely have plenty of reviews available online. This kind of information is super valuable: real customers are unlikely to inflate an electrician’s capabilities or the value of their services, so checking out testimonials is a great way to get real information.

Check for complaints

You can look online and see if any complaints have been filed against your electrician. (Check out our testimonials here to see our track record)

Check licensing and permits

In the same vein, if you need significant replacement of equipment or rewiring in your home, then your local electrician will likely need a permit. They will also need to make sure that any work is done in compliance with building codes. It’s important that you understand these permit and licensing requirements yourself so you can make sure that your electrician isn’t cutting any corners.

A basic quote

Most Sydney electricians charge by the hour. That said, a seasoned professional should be able to come out to your home and give you an accurate estimate of costs.

If any electrician that you are interviewing can’t answer any of these questions – or they don’t have the right permits and licenses in place – you may be better off going with someone else.

While you can install them in any room in your home, there are certain spaces where these switches make more sense. Specifically, we recommend that you prioritise installing the switches in the following places:

The living room

This is a great space to give your dimmer switches a try, as the living room is a common space for entertaining and for watching movies.

The bedroom

When you’re getting ready for bed or having a can’t-sleep kind of evening, bright lights can make everything worse, waking you up and shocking your system. Having switches in your bedroom, on the other hand, can allow you to create the best lighting for nighttime.

The bathroom

Going on a late-night bathroom run or heading in first thing in the morning. Bright lights are the last thing you want to see. Installing a dimmer, then, can be just the trick.

Dining room

Hosting a dinner party or cooking a romantic dinner for that special someone? The switches can help set the mood and the tone for any occasion, helping you create the perfect ambience in your space.

Like we mentioned, it’s important that you choose the switch that’s compatible with your lights. That said, if you have a standard lighting fixture, you should have no problem finding a compatible switch – it’s just a matter of doing some research.

In the short term, yes – standard switches have a slightly lower cost than dimmer switches. In the long term, though, you’ll experience significant cost savings with dimmer regulators, both in electricity costs and in light bulb costs over time.
