The Risks of DIY Electrical Work in Your Home or Commercial Building

As a home or commercial building owner, it's understandable that you may want to take on certain projects yourself to save money. However, when it comes to electrical work, the risks of DIY far outweigh the potential benefits. At Advance Building Inspections, we strongly recommend leaving electrical work to the professionals. Here's why:


Safety Concerns: Electrical work is inherently dangerous, and one mistake could result in serious injury or even death. Professional electricians have the knowledge and training to handle electrical systems safely and effectively.


Code Compliance: Electrical work must meet local codes and regulations to ensure it's safe and up to standards. Professional electricians are familiar with these codes and can ensure your electrical system is in compliance.


Costly Mistakes: Mistakes in electrical work can be costly, both financially and in terms of safety. Inexperience can lead to improper installations that can result in fires, electrocutions, and more.


By hiring a licensed and experienced electrician for your electrical needs, you can ensure that your electrical system is safe and up to code. At Advance Building Inspections, we recommend having changes or updates to your electrical system completed by a professional to ensure its functioning properly and efficiently.
