Electrical Services: 12 Top Tips


There are many do-it-yourself television shows and internet videos out there, which can lead to the impression that homeowners can fix anything or perform any maintenance or home repair task. The fact is that some electrical service tasks are better left to the professionals, to ensure proper completion of the job and for safety reasons. Here are 12 top tips to help you decide when you need an electrician:

•   Any time the task is beyond your comfort zone. If you have never done the specific job before nor are not sure how to do it, skip     the how-to videos on the internet and call for electrical service.
•   The task may require permits or zoning. Check with your local authorities first.
•   One or more light fixtures need changing. While this may seem like a simple task, the fixture may need a new wiring grade.
•   The job requires shutting off the electricity in part or all of the home or business.
•   The home or business needs new or expanded outlets. A professional can complete the task quickly but it may take a long time     for inexperienced homeowners and includes a fire risk.
•   There are blueprints involved. Call for electrical service to interpret the blueprint for the task.
•   Multiple light sockets in the business or home are not working. There may be problems with the wiring, water in the sockets or      poor fuses and a professional electrician can help determine and repair the problem.
•   Selling or buying a home or business requires an electrical survey. A professional electrician can determine if the electrical      system is sound, find any necessary repairs and make an estimate for the cost.
•   A home or business is under construction. An electrician should design and install the electrical system.
•   An older home or business needs rewiring. This is a common need for homes that are out of code or represent a fire hazard.
•   Light bulbs or fuses blow frequently. The system may be overloaded or there may be other problems. Call for professional electrical service.
•   time the light socket, fixture or wiring is difficult to reach. Don’t take unsafe risks. Call for electrical service.
Regardless of the reason why electrical service is needed, make sure the electrician is a licensed, insured contractor and ask for references. Call us at High Voltage Electric for assistance at 888-554-8658.
