Frequently Asked Questions About Minor Electrical Repairs

Q: What minor electrical repairs can a handyman perform

A: A handyman can help with fixture replacements, troubleshooting light switches, replacing ceiling fans, and installing new outlets. However, for extensive rewiring or panel upgrades, a licensed electrician is required.

Q: Can I replace a light fixture myself

A: Many homeowners can replace a simple light fixture if the wiring is already in place, but if you're unsure about connections or mounting, a professional handyman can help ensure a safe and proper installation.

Q: Why is my outlet not working
