In cities like Murfreesboro, Smyrna, and surrounding Rutherford County communities, many seniors are choosing to stay in the homes they love. And why not? Familiar surroundings offer comfort and independence—but as both homes and homeowners age, so does the need for safety-focused upgrades.
That’s where Mr. Handyman of Murfreesboro and Smyrna steps in. Our electrical handyman services are specially designed to support aging-in-place by reducing hazards and enhancing everyday comfort. Whether you’re upgrading outlets or installing smart lighting, we make homes safer for seniors—without compromising on convenience or style.
How Electrical Handyman Services Help Seniors Stay Safe
From preventing falls to minimizing fire risks, electrical upgrades play a critical role in maintaining a safe home environment for older adults. Here’s how we help:
Wiring Upgrades for Fire Prevention
Homes in Murfreesboro and Smyrna built decades ago may still have outdated wiring. We replace aging systems to meet current electrical codes, helping reduce the risk of electrical fires from overloaded or faulty circuits.
Lighting Improvements to Reduce Falls
Poor lighting is a leading cause of in-home falls for seniors. We install LED and motion-activated lighting in dark areas like hallways, bathrooms, and stairs, making every step safer.
GFCI Protection Where It Matters Most
Water and electricity don’t mix. That’s why we install GFCI outlets in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry areas, and garages to help prevent electric shock in high-moisture zones.
User-Friendly Outlets & Switches
We eliminate tripping hazards caused by extension cords by installing additional outlets near beds, recliners, or workstations. We also upgrade to large rocker switches and smart outlets for easier control.
Smart Home Integration for Independence
From voice-controlled lights to programmable thermostats, smart tech helps seniors manage their environment without strain—especially for those with mobility or vision limitations.
Load Testing & Panel Upgrades
We assess your home’s electrical load to ensure it can handle modern appliances, mobility aids, or medical equipment. If needed, we’ll upgrade the panel to keep everything running safely.
