A handyman can typically handle small, low-risk electrical jobs, such as:

• Replacing light switches or dimmers
• Installing ceiling fans
• Swapping out light fixtures
• Replacing cover plates or broken outlets

However, these tasks must not involve rewiring, working inside electrical panels, or changing circuit loads, which are usually reserved for licensed electricians.

As stated in the Amenify article, “If the job involves anything beyond surface-level work, it likely requires a permit and a licensed electrician.” Always err on the side of caution when electrical safety is involved.
