Do it yourself

Rather do it yourself?

Replace a light switch or outlet cover, test GFCIs

Steps
  1. Press TEST on every GFCI outlet in kitchens, baths and outside; press RESET. If one won't reset, call a pro.
  2. To swap a cover plate, just unscrew and replace. Don't touch wiring without turning the breaker off and testing with a voltage tester.
