Why DIY Electrical Repair is a Bad Idea
Saving money and gaining experience are two excellent reasons to fix household problems yourself. There are, however, certain repairs and installations best left to a professional, mainly electrical repairs.
Here are three reasons you should forego doing it yourself and call a certified electrician for help.
Risk
The most apparent hazard doing electrical work yourself is a real danger if something goes wrong.
Sure, you can watch videos online walking you through electrical repairs, but it only takes one mistake for the project to result in disaster.
Hundreds of people suffer significant injuries and death from electrocution attempting household electrical repairs every year.
And, even if you fix the problem without injuring yourself, you’re not guaranteed that you did it correctly and won’t experience issues down the road.
- Electrical Codes Many household electrical repairs and installations must adhere to local and state codes. Unless you know what you’re doing, the repair probably won’t pass an inspection, which will happen if you sell your house.
- Expense Even the most straightforward electrical repairs can spiral out of control and lead to major mistakes. Once you start down the rabbit hole and get in over your head, you’ll probably end up calling a professional to help, which would have saved you money had you done that in the first place.
- Diagnosis Do you trust Google or your cardiologist more if you’re having heart problems?
Obviously, you should go to the person with the training and experience to diagnose your heart problem, which is true for your electrical problem.
Because your home’s electrical system is more complicated than you might think, it’s best to hire a pro who’s seen it all and knows how to fix it to diagnose what your problem is.
As you can see, do-it-yourself electrical repair just isn’t worth it. Call one of our certified experts when you need electrical repair or a system installation for your safety and peace of mind.
