Can I safely repair a broken light switch myself at home?
You can replace a basic light switch yourself if power is fully off and the wiring is undamaged. If the switch or plate is hot, buzzing, or burnt, stop and call a licensed electrician. Our Denver-area team diagnoses non-functional switches and ensures code-compliant repairs. For larger electrical work, permits may apply; our electricians pull permits daily and handle inspections. We also test GFCI/AFCI protection during electrical safety inspections. Service available in Highlands Ranch, Denver, Aurora, and nearby.
- Turn off the correct breaker before touching any wiring. Stop if you see heat damage or smell burning.
