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

You can replace a light switch yourself only if you fully de-energize the circuit and are confident identifying the wires. If you’re unsure, it’s safer to have a licensed electrician handle it. Dawson’s Electric & Air performs code-compliant switch repair and installation, provides upfront pricing, and offers extended warranties on our work. We respond same day in areas like Raleigh and Cary, and we protect your home with shoe covers and drop cloths.

Quick checks:

• Turn off the correct breaker, then verify the switch is dead before touching any wires.
• Stop and call if you see scorch marks, loose wiring, or repeated tripping.
