Can I fix my own light switch safely without an electrician?

You can replace a like-for-like light switch if you shut off the breaker and confirm the circuit is dead. For 3-way/dimmer switches, aluminum wiring, heat or scorch marks, or tripping breakers, hire a licensed electrician. Titus checks wiring, connections, and breakers for faults (NEC 110.3). Typical repairs take 1–3 hours in Boulder homes. We back repairs and installations with a 1-year warranty. 24/7 emergency help is available.

  • Verify zero voltage with a tester.
  • Match the switch’s rating and type.
