But, there are so many electrical fixes and updates you can make as a homeowner! All you need to know are the tools needed, what the wire colors mean, and how to turn off the circuit. The rest is easy! Here are 15 Electrical Fixes Any Homeowner Can Make. I hope you like these projects and they help you take on some basic home owner electrical changes!

You will have to turn off the power first. Then take off the bottom of your light until you can access the chain. You can usually add a pull to your chain. Just look at your home improvement store for fan pulls in the lighting department.
I would like to know how to fix a ceiling fan light pull chain that broke off up inside the casing. I pulled on the chain to shut off the light at my daughter’s house and the chain broke. Ugh.:( I feel responsible to fix it but don’t have a clue where to begin. I would appreciate ANY help. Thx.
