The “Electrical Repairs” module in Home Repair Resource Center’s women’s repair series will begin on September 5^th, with weekly sessions on Wednesday evenings through October 24^th.  Eight two-hour classes will be offered on Intro to Electricity; Replacing Switches & Outlets; Running a New Circuit; Practical Troubleshooting; Lighting Options; Low-Voltage Systems (Landscape Lighting/Doorbells/Phone Lines); Ceiling Fans; and Exhaust Fans for Kitchens & Baths. Participants will benefit from personal attention and “hands-on” experience in a supportive and nurturing atmosphere, with opportunities to practice tool use and repair techniques. Absolutely no previous experience is required!

Tuition is $120 per module for Cleveland Heights residents and $150 for non-residents, with reduced rates for low-income Cleveland Heights residents.
