10 Dangers of Do-it-Yourself (DIY) Electrical Repairs

As a homeowner or business owner, you may be tempted to save money by taking on electrical repairs yourself. However, DIY electrical repairs can be extremely dangerous and may even result in fatal consequences. Here are ten reasons why you should leave electrical repairs to the professionals at T. Wright Electrical and Inspection Services Limited:

1. Electrocution:

DIY electrical repairs can result in electrocution, which can cause serious injury or death.

2. Cause a Fire:

Electrical fires can occur due to improper wiring or faulty electrical equipment.

3. Damage to Property:

Incorrect electrical installations can lead to damage to your property, which can be expensive to fix.

4. Warranty Void (Electrical Appliances):

Most warranties for electrical appliances are voided if the appliance is installed or repaired by an unqualified person.

5. Code Violations:

Electrical repairs that do not comply with the local electrical codes can lead to fines and legal trouble.

6. Insurance Issues:

If a fire or other damage occurs due to improper electrical repairs, your insurance may not cover the damages.

7. Expensive Repairs:

Attempting DIY electrical repairs can be dangerous and may result in costly repairs. Even if you are able to complete the repair without incident, improper wiring can cause system failures or even fires. In the end, you may have to hire a professional to fix the issue, negating any cost savings from the DIY attempt.

8. Risk to Life:

Electric shock can cause permanent injury to a person and even put their life at risk.

Moreover, a licensed electrician will provide a warranty for their work, giving you added peace of mind and protection in case of any issues or failures.

10. Increase Power Wastage (Higher JPS bill)

Attempting DIY electrical repairs can result in faulty wiring, which can be extremely dangerous and pose a serious risk. However, even if the repair is completed without incident, improperly installed wiring or other components can lead to increased electricity bills.
