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.
