Many homeowners like to work on DIY projects in their home. You save money; it is more flexible, and you get to show off your handy work. Some projects require professional assistance, and can even be dangerous if you attempt them yourself. This applies especially to electrical work, even the most experienced DIY electrician should call a professional. Attempting to solve these problems without professional training and experience can be seriously dangerous or even fatal.
Safety
Electrical repairs should always be handled with extreme caution. 200 amps are enough to kill you, and that’s what most homes have. According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control, falls remain the leading cause of injury and/or deaths nationwide but electrocution came in close at #6. If you find yourself uncertain, don’t hesitate to hire a licensed electrician whether it is a residential or commercial project. Faulty wiring is a fire waiting to happen.
This is the most important reason to hire a professional electrician for any residential or commercial repair. A professional electrician can ensure that the repairs are completed safely and to code.
License
A professional electrician can ensure the job is done right the first time. They have the license, experience, and on-the-job training to fall back on. In many cases, a journeyman electrician must complete five years of education and 10,000 hours if not more of on-the-job training. Each municipality has their own qualifications. Electricians have one of the longest apprenticeship programs. They are up-to-date with local laws and city building codes which also vary from city to city.
What’s the worst that could happen?
Avoid getting in over your head! Your wiring may look simple, but actually, it is connected to much more than the eye can see which is why working with electricity can quickly become complicated. “What’s the worst that could happen,” you ask?! It only takes one small mistake to electrocute or shock yourself and it only takes one small mistake in electricity to make a detrimental problem. In fact, according to the National Fire Protection Association, a faulty electrical wiring is the #1 cause of house fires in the US.
Long-Term peace of mind
Hiring a professional electrician can put your mind at ease. Having an expert complete your electrical project will help extend its lifetime and prevent future problems from occurring. Electrical work performed by a professional electrician is also guaranteed, meaning if the problem persists, they’ll come back and fix it.
