Can a handyman do electrical work in Tampa?

**Like-for-like fixture swaps** at an existing box — vanity lights, many ceiling fans, porch lanterns — are common handyman work when the box is supported and the circuit is already there.

**New circuits, panels, and fishing wire through walls** need a licensed electrician. Competitors with a CRC license (Jack O' Trades) sell that as their edge. We do not pretend a handyman card covers panel work.

**Fixture-level:** faucet cartridges, supply lines at working shutoffs, toilet fill valves, trap resets. That is [plumbing fixture repair](/services/plumbing-fixture-repair).

**Not fixture-level:** water heaters, repipes, new shower valves in the wall, sewer lines. Those need a plumber.
