Hi all,
I'm in a new home (since Feb. '03). Some of the light switches "pop" when they are switched on - not very loudly (but loud enough to make you notice). If you turn the switch off then on again, it doesn't pop
- it only happens the first time.
Could the electrician have used old switches in the house? I've checked voltage between hot and neutral (and hot and ground) - runs about 122 volts.
I did notice the electrician used the "punch downs" (whatever you call it) in the back of the switches rather than the screw terminals - I personally don't like this, but I don't know if this matters or not.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks, Budman
