With the rise of home improvement shows and online tutorials, DIY projects have become increasingly popular. While tackling a home improvement task can save money and provide a sense of accomplishment, electrical contractor work is a different matter. Unlike painting or assembling furniture, electrical repairs and installations come with significant risks, including electrocution, electrical fires, and legal penalties. Attempting unlicensed electrical work can create serious hazards and result in hefty fines.
To help you understand what is safe to handle and when to call a professional, the expert team at Prime Time Electricians has put together this guide.
