Wall Timer & Smart Switch Installation in Orange County, CA

Wall timers and smart switches give you automated control over your lighting, fans, and outdoor fixtures without the complexity of a full smart home system. O’Hagan Electric installs programmable timers, countdown switches, and smart wall switches throughout Orange County homes. Set your lights to turn on at sunset, your bathroom fan to run for 15 minutes after you leave, or your outdoor lights on a schedule — all from a simple wall switch.

Why Choose O'Hagan Electric for Timer Installation?

While wall timers seem simple, installation requires understanding your home’s wiring — many older Orange County homes lack the neutral wire that modern smart switches need. Our licensed electricians assess your wiring, recommend compatible switches, and install them safely. We also handle multi-switch configurations, three-way switch replacements, and integration with existing dimmer setups that often trip up DIY installations.

  2. Product Selection — We recommend the right timer or smart switch based on your wiring and what you want to control.
  3. Installation — We safely replace your existing switch, connect all wires, and secure the device in the wall box.
  4. Programming & Testing — We set your schedules, test operation, and show you how to adjust settings.
