Thank you for the tutorial. I was able to replace an old switch with a broken button with a new one thanks to this video. I have liked and subscribed.

I’m happy that my video was helpful. Thanks for the sub.

[@doccostoso1604]

Great info, thanks for the video. I went ahead and purchased the voltage tester since I misplaced the last one.

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Glad it helped

[@StellaRose1234]

Thank you for this video. I am getting up the nerve to fix my double switch. This was the only video I understood.

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Thanks for watching.

[@HOTRODRICO]

good job... accent reminds me of my fam in NY... cheers bro, quick question did you connect the grounds ? or ?

[@zaneblane8160]

I couldn't really see in the box..was too dark..wanted to see the wires 12:03

[@renedelafuente123]

Why did you go with those bigger light switches? Do they last longer, more convenience, or is that what customer wants? Thanks for the video, learning how to do some things instead of being taken advantage of by unscrupulous electricians.

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Good question. Just for the look

[@garcia21x]

Thank you, great video.

[@getitdonehomerepair]

You are welcome!

[@ninamarie2312]

the wires should be hooked clockwise on the scew to ensure a secure and tighter connection

[@andre-qb6os]

I tell installers that all the time

[@andre-qb6os]

And I would've done one switch at a time not to get confused

[@KevinBrown-vm9zg]

Just make sure to look at the workings of the switches inside the box before you get the replacement ones. It could be a three-way switch which looks the same as a two-way with the faceplate on.

Thanks!

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Welcome!

[@rorygilmorelove6]

Old ones are actually better quality. I keeps smashing those new ones

[@IAMHIM414]

Can you do these with 3 switch outlet

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Yes just make sure you get the correct replacement switch

[@TurdFerguson362]

on of my switches doesn't have anything to screw into so i can't secure it. what part is that called so i can replace it and be done with this crap?

[@michaelbowers3842]

why not pull the switch out a little way with the wires attached?

[@getitdonehomerepair]

Good question. The reason you don’t want to pull the wire out all the way is as the wires get older the insulation starts to get brittle and will easily break off.

I wouldn't call these modern. My 30 year old manufactured home was built with these.

30 year old house is fairly modern
