Looking to replace existing overhead light switches with dimmers and fan switches with fan controls (low, medium and high). Any info appreciated, thanks.

Here's a link to how to install a dimmer switch. It's really a pretty easy DIY job.
Just pick up a dimmer switch from Home Depot.

Just be sure to buy a dimmer with an adequate rating for the appliance. Too small, and it will create excessive heat.

If you're using a compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL), make sure you get one that is labeled as “dimmable.” Ordinary CFLs will not work with a dimmer.

Thanks for the info, I was actually looking for someone to do it.
