Installing a dimmer switch involves more than just swapping one switch for another. The dimmer must be compatible with your specific bulbs, your existing wiring, and the way that circuit is configured. Here is what actually goes into a proper dimmer installation, from the licensed electricians at EZSMART, serving Toronto and the GTA.
In Ontario, this work legally requires a licensed electrician, and any electrical work should be performed in accordance with Electrical Safety Authority standards.
These issues are often resolved by ensuring the right dimmer and bulb combination, which is easier when a licensed electrician handles the selection and installation together.
Can any light switch be replaced with a dimmer?
Not always. Some fixtures and bulbs are not compatible with dimming, and some switch configurations require specific dimmer types.
Why do my LED bulbs flicker on a dimmer?
This is almost always a compatibility issue between the specific dimmer and the LED bulbs, and can usually be resolved by matching them properly.
Are smart dimmers worth it?
They can be, particularly if you already use home automation. They offer scheduling, remote control, and integration with voice assistants.
