3 Reasons to Hire a Professional for Residential Electrical Repair
Fixing household problems yourself is an excellent way to save money and gain experience. However, some repairs and installations are best left to a professional, especially electrical repairs.
Here are three reasons why a DIY electrical repair is a bad idea.
Risk
The most obvious hazard doing electrical work yourself is a real danger if something goes wrong.
Sure, you can watch videos on YouTube 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.
Electrical shock, while not fatal, can cause seizures, heart attacks, and other health issues that can be crippling.
Lastly, even if you manage to complete the repair without injury, there’s no guarantee you did it correctly, and you may experience sparks or electrical fire down the road putting your property at risk.
Money Savings
Most people attempt DIY repairs to save money, but too often, the opposite happens.
For example, if you add up all the time you spent googling how-to guides and watching YouTube videos, it can add hours or days to your DIY repair project.
Also, if you don’t have the proper tools or make mistakes along the way, you’ll have to pay out of pocket to complete the job, which can be costly.
Lastly, if something goes wrong and you end up with property damage, your homeowners’ insurance will want to know if a professional did the work before they cover the repairs.
If your insurance provider finds out the damage was caused by a DIY repair gone wrong, you’ll have to pay to fix it yourself and could end up losing your policy.
Experience
The truth is that no amount of googling or YouTube watching trumps decades of education and experience you get from hiring a certified electrician. When you hire a professional, you get peace of mind knowing your home is safe and the repair was done correctly.
No matter the problem, our electrical repair, and troubleshooting will get to the bottom of it.
