Electricity is serious business. What is a simple job for a qualified electrician can turn into a nightmare for a homeowner.
Many homeowners like to think that the DIY route can save them money, but it does comes with a few hidden costs: time, the potential for more work than originally bargained for when things don’t work out as planned, and most importantly, safety issues when things are not done correctly.

If you are not 100% confident about your electrical skills and knowledge, call a pro!
If you want to install dimmer switches or replace an old ceiling light with a new ceiling fan, go ahead, if you feel you have the knowledge and experience. Upgrading existing devices and fixtures can be relatively easy and safe, as long as you remember to first turn off the electricity. If you are not comfortable doing this, then please, call a pro!
We have been called out numerous times to rectify faulty wiring after a homeowner attempts to carry out an electrical job themselves; we have seen damaged light fittings, damaged cables and switches, and in some cases electrical fires. In the end this will cost the homeowner a lot more money to rectify than it would have to hire a certified electrician in the first place. Electricity is potentially very dangerous. We advise you to leave it to the professionals.
Also, all aspects of electrical work–from wire nuts to cable connectors–are governed by very strict codes.
Violate even a single code and you’re asking for trouble. Electrical work that’s not up to code can negatively affect you if you ever want to sell your home.
It is not about how much time, effort and money you may end up wasting if you try to tackle a complex and complicated electrical work in your home – it’s the fact that one wrong move could burn your house down or cause an explosion, and an electric shock could cause injury or death. Remember, all it takes is one mistake!
