How Shafnisky Became Synonymous With Comfort & Care – At Least For One Local Homeowner


Quick Summary

A Lehigh Valley homeowner wanted the convenience of controlling their lights from a second location—without the mess and added expense of cutting drywall, fishing new wiring, and repainting. Instead of using the old-school method, Shafnisky Electric installed a Lutron Caseta dimmer at the primary switch location and paired it with a Pico wireless remote in the new control spot.


A Second Light Switch Location – Without Cutting Your Drywall

Our Wireless Lighting Controls Deliver No-Mess Convenience


When it comes to interior lighting and design for Lehigh Valley homes, most homeowners want upgrades without dealing with the costly mess of cutting into their drywall.

This was the issue for a homeowner who wanted to control their lighting remotely from another room.

For any other electrician, this could’ve come across as a tall order. One that would require cutting into drywall, rewiring whole areas, and a lot of time when the homeowner would have to deal with a team of electricians coming and going.

Not with Shafnisky Electric.

Our investment in cutting-edge electrical technology does more than save us (and homeowners) time – it also delivers state-of-the-art interior lighting solutions. With us, you get the best solution for you and your home, not the one we can charge you the most for.



Objective: Adding Convenience Without Unnecessary Drywall Repairs

With the rise of smart home technology, the appeal of controlling their home lighting from another room is stronger than ever for homeowners. However, most don’t want to deal with costly drywall repairs and repainting.

As is necessary with home electrical services, the homeowners called around for quotes from local electricians. Most, however, would’ve needed to cut holes in the drywall, creating dust and mess. Something the homeowners DIDN’T want.

They almost gave up then and there and admitted there just wasn’t a way to get the mess-free convenience they wanted.

Until they called Shafnisky Electric.

The solution we offered the homeowners included modern wireless controls, allowing them to control from both locations. We prioritize convenience and comfort while streamlining and making the whole process efficient.

The best part?

No holes in the drywall, and NO costly wall repairs.

Our Modern Solution: Wireless Control With Lutron

We offered a much better solution, without drywall mess and extra costs. We installed a Lutron Caseta dimmer switch at the primary switch location, and a Pico wireless remote in a second control location.

This provided the homeowners with the convenience of dimming and controlling the lights from both locations.

No holes in the wall, no running new wires, no drywall contractors, no mess. Just Shafnisky Electric and our streamlined solutions.


Shafnisky Electric: Lehigh Valley’s Proven Name For Interior Lighting & Design

For Shafnisky Electric, it’s not just about finding the right solution for our customers (though we’d be lying if we said our customers weren’t at the heart of what we do). It’s about delivering lasting interior lighting solutions that are right for our customers’ needs.

Sure, we could’ve told the homeowners what they already heard from the other electricians: that there’s no way we could do the job without cutting into their walls. It would’ve meant more money in our pockets, surely.

But that’s not who we are. Being customer-focused means tailoring our electrical services to the customers’ needs, whether they need whole home rewiring or simple wireless light control.

The best electricians don’t run wire and call it a day. They troubleshoot, compile reliable solutions, and present what works best for their customers and their homes. This is exactly what we do at Shafnisky Electric.

FAQs About Interior Lighting & Design For Lehigh Valley Homes

Are you curious about interior lighting and design for your Lehigh Valley home? Read more in our FAQs below.

Can you really add a second switch location without cutting into drywall?

Yes—depending on the layout and what you’re trying to control. In many homes, wireless lighting controls (like a Lutron Caseta dimmer paired with a Pico remote) can provide a second control location without running traveler wires or opening up the walls.

What are the biggest benefits of using a Lutron Caseta dimmer with a Pico remote?

You get a streamlined upgrade with no drywall repairs, no extra contractors, and convenient control from multiple locations. Plus, because the setup includes a dimmer, homeowners can adjust brightness easily instead of being limited to only on/off control.

What’s the difference between the “old-school” method and the wireless solution?

The traditional approach typically requires new wiring between switch locations, which often means cutting drywall, patching, sanding, and repainting (sometimes with help from a drywall contractor). The wireless option delivers similar functionality—often with added features like dimming—while avoiding wall damage and keeping the project faster and cleaner.
