Living independently in the beautiful neighborhoods of Citrus Park and Keystone means staying close to what you love—your home, your community, and your routines. But as homes get older and residents grow wiser, it’s essential to make small adjustments that enhance daily safety.

That’s where Mr. Handyman serving Citrus Park and Keystone comes in. Our electrical handyman services are designed with seniors in mind, helping homeowners age in place safely with smart upgrades and code-compliant improvements. From lighting updates to safer outlets, we’re here to make your home a better fit for every stage of life.

How Electrical Handyman Services Improve Senior Home Safety

Everyday life comes with hidden risks, especially when it comes to outdated electrical systems. Our expert handyman team helps address the little things that make a big difference in your safety and comfort.

Replace Outdated or Faulty Wiring

Older homes in the Tampa Bay area may still have outdated wiring that poses a fire risk. We bring everything up to code to prevent shorts, sparks, or overloaded circuits.

Install Better Lighting for Safer Walkways

Whether it’s walking through the hallway at night or navigating stairs, visibility is key. We install motion-sensor lighting, under-cabinet LEDs, and vanity lighting to reduce the risk of falls.

Add GFCI Outlets in Wet Areas

Water and electricity don’t mix—especially in bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms. GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets help prevent shocks and are required in these areas by current electrical code.

Improve Accessibility with Convenient Outlets

We install power outlets at easier-to-reach heights, so there’s no need to bend, twist, or trip over extension cords. It’s one of the simplest ways to reduce fall risk in senior homes.

Smart Home Features for Greater Control

Smart switches, voice-controlled lighting, and Wi-Fi-enabled thermostats allow homeowners to control their space without reaching or moving around too much—perfect for aging-in-place comfort.

Electrical Load Safety Checks

We test your electrical panel to ensure it can handle all your devices, appliances, or even medical equipment. No more worrying about overloads or unexpected outages.
