We’ve all been there. That light fixture you bought ages ago is still in the box, and the outlet in the guest room only works if you jiggle the plug just right. These little electrical repairs can hang out on a to-do list for months, becoming a low-grade nuisance in a busy home. Sometimes, an issue like a flickering light might even suggest a deeper electrical problem that could use a professional eye. To be honest, most of us don't have the time or skills to do these things.
This is where FixHome+ comes in. We offer minor electrical services to take care of those small but crucial tasks. Instead of spending the weekend studying videos on social media and hoping for the best, our trained experts can fix these electrical problems for you. Our whole goal is to offer a straightforward way to keep your home's electrical system safe and functional, giving you your time back.
