At the minimum, an electrician attends courses for months and then follows their education with at least four years of on-the-job training. In many instances, electricians spend up to two years in a classroom to learn their trade! So, no one should fall into the trap of thinking that their electrical needs are a DIY project.

Danger 1: Electrical Shock

A static shock can deliver nearly 20,000 volts of electricity at once and is not deadly. However, a home’s 110-volt outlet can cause severe injuries and death if not handled properly. These two facts reveal one thing: electricity requires knowledge for safe handling.

Danger 2: Code Compliance

Electricians are familiar with all local codes and regulations for their service area. While an out-of-code DIY electrical job might work, it could cause problems with inspections if you ever decide to move from your home.

Danger 3: Fire Hazards

Electricians don’t go through years of training only to avoid shocking themselves or others. They also learn how to produce electrical work with a reduced risk of fire. Faulty wiring can create a fire risk that might not cause a fire for months or years. Hiring a professional electrician provides the peace of mind that your wiring will be as safe as possible.
