Why Hire an Electrician

While it may be tempting to save money and do your own electrical work, working with electricity is best left in the hands of a professional licensed electrician. Electrical work can be extremely dangerous when not done properly. Not being careful when working with electricity can get someone seriously hurt.

Even if you are careful and appear to be successful in your electrical projects, your work may still end up being faulty. Electrical work done improperly can damage your home's electrical system and poses a fire risk. It may overload circuits, melt electrical wiring, and cause sparks. In the long term, improper electrical work may end up costing you much more to fix than it would have to do safely and properly the first time.

While working with our clients, we have encountered many instances of unsafe and improperly done electrical work. Below are photos of the long-term risks from incorrectly done electrical work:
