Aging in place is a choice more and more homeowners in Palm Harbor, Clearwater, and Largo are making—and for good reason. There’s nothing like the comfort of staying in a home you love. But as time passes, both homes and homeowners need a few smart upgrades to stay safe and accessible.
At Mr. Handyman serving Palm Harbor, Clearwater and Largo, we specialize in electrical handyman services designed to make aging in place safer and easier. From lighting upgrades to safer outlets and smart home integration, our team makes sure your home works for you—not against you.
How Electrical Handyman Services Improve Safety for Seniors
It doesn’t take a full remodel to make a big impact. Simple electrical updates can dramatically increase the safety and functionality of your living space.
Replace Outdated Wiring
Many homes in this area were built decades ago and still rely on old or overloaded wiring. We upgrade your system to meet modern safety codes and reduce fire risk.
Install Motion-Sensor & LED Lighting
Low visibility is a leading cause of falls for older adults. We install motion-activated lights in hallways, stairways, bathrooms, and entryways so you’re never left in the dark.
Add GFCI Outlets in Key Areas
Wet areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms need GFCI outlets to prevent electric shock. We install and upgrade outlets to meet code and keep you protected.
Provide Easy-to-Reach Outlets
Extension cords are tripping hazards. We add outlets at accessible heights near beds, sofas, and countertops—no more stretching or bending to plug things in.
Smart Home Devices for Convenience
From voice-activated lighting to remote-controlled thermostats, we install smart tech that gives you more control with less effort. It’s a small change that makes a big difference.
Electrical Load & Safety Checks
We evaluate your home’s electrical panel and system capacity to ensure it can support all of your appliances, lighting, and assistive devices safely and reliably.
