Want the right amount of light for the task and mood? Let us remove the old on/off switch and install a dimmer switch.
Old Engineer provides professional dimmer switch installation throughout the Raleigh-Durham area at a price that makes sense. Dining rooms, bedrooms, living rooms, home theaters: a dimmer is one of the cheapest upgrades that makes a room feel instantly better, and we’ll make sure yours is installed correctly and matched to your bulbs so there’s no flicker, buzz, or dead spots on the slider.
Our dimmer switch replacement service covers the whole job:
We install all major brands including Lutron, Leviton, Legrand, and GE, plus smart dimmers like Lutron Caseta, Kasa, and Leviton Decora Smart. If you haven’t bought one yet, tell us what bulbs are in the fixture and we’ll point you to a dimmer that works with them.
Old Engineer isn’t a big franchise with big franchise prices. We’re experienced, detail-oriented professionals who believe a switch swap shouldn’t cost a fortune. You get careful workmanship, straightforward pricing, and someone who shows up when they say they will.
Please note: we replace switches where a switch already exists. If your project requires new wiring, a new switch location, or panel work, that needs a licensed electrician, and we’ll tell you upfront.
We provide dimmer switch installation in Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Apex, Morrisville, Chapel Hill, Wake Forest, Garner, Holly Springs, and surrounding Triangle communities.
A dimmer swap is one of the quickest, most affordable electrical updates there is, far less than calling out an electrical contractor. Contact us with the switch type and how many you’d like done for a quick quote.
A single dimmer typically takes 30 minutes or less. Doing several switches in one visit is the most cost-effective way to go.
That’s almost always a mismatch between an older dimmer and newer LED bulbs. LEDs need an LED-compatible dimmer. We’ll match the right dimmer to your bulbs so the light dims smoothly all the way down.

Yes. We install smart dimmers like Lutron Caseta and Kasa that work with Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home, and we’ll make sure everything is connected before we leave.
Most can, but some fixtures and bulbs aren’t dimmable, and ceiling fans need a special fan control rather than a standard dimmer. We’ll check yours and give you a straight answer.
