Can’t I just call a handyman to fix minor electrical problems? You seem busy with bigger issues.

You can use a handyman for just about any electrical job that you feel they can handle. Perhaps they don't have the time or the right tools, for example replacing a switch or dimmer. Unfortunately, handymen don’t have specialty training in electrical work. Although most have basic electrical skills, that may not be enough to ensure safety and accuracy, which may increase the risk of electrocution or an electrical fire. It is best to get a professional and skilled electrician to ensure the job will be done right the first time.
