Can I fix my own light switch safely without an electrician?
You can replace a basic light switch yourself, but do it only if the power is off and the wiring is like-for-like. Turn off the breaker and verify no voltage with a tester. If the switch is warm, sparks, trips a breaker, or is a dimmer, 3-way, GFCI, or aluminum-wired, call a licensed electrician.
