Can I safely repair a broken light switch myself at home?
Yes, you can replace a basic light switch, but only if you shut off power at the breaker and feel fully comfortable working with wiring.

If wiring looks damaged or uncertain, do not proceed. Our process includes consultation, assessment, proposal, execution, inspection, and follow-up for safe, code-compliant results.
