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.
