DIY Electrical Fixes You Can Safely Handle at Home

While many electrical problems require professional help, some minor fixes are safe for DIY:

 

  • Replacing a Light Switch or Outlet Cover: Always turn off the power at the breaker before starting.

  • Tightening Loose Outlets: Use outlet spacers to secure wobbly outlets safely.

  • Installing New Light Fixtures: Follow manufacturer instructions and ensure the power is off.

  • Resetting GFCI Outlets: Simply press the “reset” button if it has tripped.

 

Remember, if you’re ever unsure, it’s safer to call a licensed electrician.
