A professional electrician performs a dangerous job and when something goes wrong, it can cause a multitude of bad things to happen. With new technologies being developed, the need for electrical upgrades and special wiring is growing. Unless your house was built very recently, it’s likely the electrical system needs some upgrading. 

While it can be tempting to do it yourself, for most electrical work, you should use a professional electrician. Here are the top 10 reasons why:

1. The biggest reason is safety. Working with electricity can be dangerous and requires great caution and expertise. If a job isn’t done correctly, it can cause serious safety hazards. Danger can be avoided by using a qualified electrician.
2. Electrical work in homes must be performed by a licensed, trained professional in most states. They are trained in setting up low-voltage wiring, following blueprints, safety codes, circuit breakers and more.
3. A professional electrician has the proper tools such as conduit benders, wire strippers, screwdrivers and pliers, using oscilloscopes, ohmmeters, voltmeters and ammeters to do the job properly.
4. An experienced electrician can troubleshoot electrical problems quickly, saving you time, money, and aggravation.
5. Poorly designed, worn or impaired circuitry can damage appliance motors and electronic gears by delivering the wrong amperage or carrying excess voltage drop, and the like. A skilled electrician knows how to prevent damage to your appliances and devices.
6. You’ll save money in the long run by avoiding costly mistakes.
7. The NEC is updated every three years and a professional electrician stays up-to-date.
8. Work by a professional electrician is guaranteed by their employer and are certified by the state.
9. A permit issued by the local building department provides yet another layer of oversight for homeowners.
10. Professional work means that all safety and legal requirements have been followed and is safe.
