I have one location that uses a typical 15A-120V toggle switch on a 24 VAC load. The switch could be considered to be in a somewhat dirty, and somewhat damp environment. I am noticing that it fails every year or two. Is there a reason that this common type of switch would not be good for a 24 VAC load, or would another type of switch be better for this purpose? I have another 24 VAC switched application next door that was originally setup the same way using the same type of switch.
I'd like to stop any reliability issues. This is what I turned up on Voltage specific search:

Are the contacts and design of this better suited for this type of duty on 24V?
