Can I safely repair a broken light switch myself at home?

You can replace a basic light switch yourself if you can shut off power and verify the circuit is dead. If it’s a dimmer or smart switch, or the wiring is damaged, call a licensed electrician. In Denver and Thornton, we provide light switch repair, installation, and replacement, including dimmers and smart switches.

Quick checks:

  • Turn off the breaker.
  • Confirm no power with a tester.
  • If wiring doesn’t match, stop and call.
