Can I safely repair a broken light switch myself at home?

You can replace a simple light switch yourself, but the safer choice is to have a licensed electrician do it. We install, repair, and replace switches and GFCIs, and we perform code-focused inspections that include testing AFCI and GFCI operation to reduce shock and fire risks. In Ashburn and Fredericksburg, we can inspect the circuit and ensure a tidy, compliant repair.

Quick checks:

• Turn off the breaker before any work.
• If you see heat damage or loose wiring, stop and call a pro.
• We can add GFCI/AFCI protection if needed.
