Can I safely repair a broken light switch myself at home?
Yes, you can safely replace a basic light switch if you shut off the correct breaker and follow simple steps. In Clearwater homes, cut power, test the switch box with a non-contact tester, and swap like-for-like only. Stop and call a pro if the switch is warm, buzzing, tripping a breaker, is a 3-way/4-way, controls a fan/dimmer, or you see aluminum wiring or damaged insulation. Exact pricing depends on inspection. A technician will confirm costs on site.
