Can I fix my own light switch safely without an electrician?
You can replace a basic light switch, but only if the circuit is fully powered off and the wiring is intact. If anything looks damaged or you’re unsure, it’s safer to call a licensed electrician. We troubleshoot and repair switches, wiring, and breaker issues, and we meet or exceed local electrical codes. Service is available across Denver, Aurora, and nearby areas.
Quick checks:
- Turn off the circuit at the breaker.
- Verify the switch has no power before touching wires.
- Stop if you see damage or loose wiring.
