Installing a dimmer switch should be a simple home upgrade—but for many homeowners, it becomes a moment of hesitation, uncertainty, and quiet tension. In this episode of TORQUE & TAPE, the listener is guided step by step through the experience of replacing a standard wall switch with a dimmer, not as a checklist, but as a lived, hands-on moment beside a seasoned tradesperson. The episode focuses on understanding how electricity behaves, why dimmers are different from ordinary switches, and how confidence is built through deliberate, thoughtful work. Calm, grounded, and reassuring, the story transforms a common DIY fear into a controlled, empowering experience. This is about more than lighting—it’s about learning to trust your judgment when the wall is open and the moment matters.
