Why Hire a Certified Electrician
Are you a weekend warrior that likes to tackle those home repairs and improvement projects during your spare time?
Or are you one that wants to save a few bucks by watching YouTube tutorials to fix your problem instead of calling a professional?
This might work for many DIY projects, but you should never do it when it involves your home’s electrical system.
Even if you’re confident you can pull it off safely, here are the top reasons why it’s always better to hire a pro.
Safety
DIY repairs and electricity don’t mix. Every year, nearly 4,000 non-fatal electrocutions happen in the U.S. because people thought they could fix electrical issues themselves.
Electrical work is dangerous, and one mistake can be life-threatening.
You need over 8,000 hours of training to become a general electrician, and no amount of YouTube watching can replace that. Also, it’s illegal to work on specific electrical systems without a license in many places.
Simply put, DIY electrical repair isn’t worth the risk. Call a professional and be safe!
Potential Hazards
Exposed wiring or shoddy repair work can create hazardous situations for children. Professionals are trained to follow specific safety regulations to ensure no one in the home is exposed to any danger.
Save Time
It’s a fact of life that we’re all busy, and there never seems to be enough hours in the day to get everything done. Even our weekend schedules are full of family commitments, children’s sporting events, shopping, etc., which forces many people to rush to accomplish their tasks.
Rushing through an electrical repair opens you to make mistakes that can have catastrophic consequences. With that in mind, you should hire a pro to tackle your electrical work, so you’re free to do the things you need to do.
Insurance
If you make a mistake doing electrical work and end up with property damage, guess who is on the hook to fix it –– you! Your homeowners’ insurance probably won’t be of any help if the company finds the damage resulted from your negligence.
Professional electrical contractors carry insurance to protect you and your property from mishaps.
Play it safe and contact the experts at Southwest Florida Electric Inc. the next time you need electrical repair or installation.

Older Lehigh Homes and Their Wiring
Thousands of Lehigh Acres homes date to the 1970s and 80s building boom, and their electrical systems are showing it: undersized panels, tired breakers, and in some homes aluminum branch wiring that needs professional attention. Our panel upgrade service covers replacements and 200-amp upgrades — the panel cost guide has real numbers.
Outages and Standby Power in Lehigh Acres
Lehigh sits far enough inland that restoration crews often get here last. A standby generator ends the wait — see generator installation in Fort Myers. And when something electrical fails at the worst moment, our emergency electricians cover Lehigh Acres around the clock.
Lehigh Acres Electrical Questions We Hear Most
Do you charge extra to come out to Lehigh Acres?
No. Lehigh Acres is part of our regular Lee County service area — same pricing, same scheduling as Fort Myers.
Can you fix aluminum wiring, or does it all have to be replaced?
It depends on the home. Some aluminum branch wiring can be made safe with approved connectors at every termination; some homes are better served by targeted rewiring. We inspect first and give you honest options with firm prices.
My panel is original to the house. Should I replace it?
If the house is from the 70s or 80s and the panel has never been touched, it’s worth an inspection — especially before an insurance renewal. Replacements typically run $1,500–$3,000, or $2,500–$6,000 to upgrade to 200-amp service.
Do you handle permits in Lehigh Acres?
Yes — Lehigh electrical work is permitted through Lee County and we handle the paperwork and the inspection on every job that needs one.
