Electric work and plumbing are often considered the most complicated types of repairs for any homeowner. Even seasoned do-it-yourselfers are urged to leave certain jobs to the professionals: electric work being the most important. In this article, we will review the four main reasons that you should hire an electrician.
Reason #1
We all have visions of characters in old movies being zapped while haphazardly performing electric repairs, leaving them convulsing and charred with fried hair standing on end. Funny as those movies are, the threats depicted in these scenes are very real and the end result is no laughing matter.
A professional electrician can do everything from intricate repairs to installing ceiling fans and light fixtures. Your safety is worth their fee.
Reason #2
The safety of your family is of utmost importance, and when it comes to electric work, the professionals are more likely to get it right the first time than your neighbor with a how-to guide printed off the internet. You are risking not only power outages and blown breakers but also actual fires that can result from shoddy electric work.
Reason #3
If you are thinking about moving into a home build forty years ago or more, you are encouraged to hire a professional electrician to supplement your required inspection. Though these fees will likely come out of your own pocket, knowing this ahead of time will allow you to build this fee into your contract negotiations. This is not intended to undermine the competency or authority of the general inspector, as they are very well trained and thorough. However, a professional electrician has a more detailed understanding of electric work, since it is their focus and their specialty.
If you already own a home forty or more years old, it is still not a bad idea to include an electric system check-up into your spring cleaning tasks, even if it's every other year.
Reason #4
Whether the job is commercial or residential in nature, any major electric work is subject to building codes, permits and inspections. Often in these cases, you will have no choice but to hire a certified professional. This is all the better; wouldn't you want your neighbors, schools and workplaces required to be inspected and deemed safe?
Reasons span from your own personal safety, to that of your family. They stem from fire prevention to city code enforcement. For any electric repairs you need, call your local electrician.
