Whether you're living in a historic home in Bethlehem, a quiet neighborhood in Nazareth, or the suburbs of Allentown, staying in your home as you age is more than just a preference—it’s a way of preserving comfort, independence, and peace of mind.
At Mr. Handyman of Easton, Bethlehem, Nazareth & Allentown, we provide electrical handyman services that cater specifically to aging-in-place needs. From lighting upgrades to safer outlets and smart tech integration, we help homeowners prepare their homes for the future—without sacrificing comfort or safety.
How Electrical Handyman Services Boost Safety for Seniors
As homes (and homeowners) age, safety becomes a top priority—especially in places where small hazards can have major consequences. Here's how our electrical upgrades help:
Replace Outdated Wiring & Panels
Older homes may have wiring or panels that no longer meet today’s safety codes. We upgrade systems to prevent electrical fires and ensure safe, reliable power for modern appliances and medical equipment.
Install Motion-Activated Lighting
Dark hallways, staircases, and bathrooms are common fall zones. We install motion-sensor LED lights that automatically turn on, helping to prevent slips and trips—especially at night.
Add GFCI Protection in Key Areas
Wet areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms need GFCI outlets to reduce shock hazards. These are now code-required, and our team ensures your home is up to date.
Add Outlets in Accessible Locations
Need to plug in a lamp or charge your phone without reaching behind furniture or across the room? We install outlets where they’re most needed—minimizing extension cords and trip risks.
Install Smart Devices for Simplicity
We set up voice-controlled lighting, remote thermostats, and smart plugs—making home adjustments easier without bending, reaching, or searching for switches.
Conduct Full Safety & Load Evaluations
We check your entire electrical system to make sure it’s safe and capable of supporting everything from assistive devices to high-wattage appliances—without overloads.
