When you need electrical work done on your residential or commercial property, the only person who should touch it is a registered electrician. Of course, we understand that there are many temptations to look for alternatives.
The average person, whether in the residential or commercial customer category, is often under the impression that hiring an electrician is too expensive. Consequently, they will try to fix or install their own wiring themselves. And if they are not confident in their ability to do it themselves, they will opt to hire an unregistered electrical contractor who offers them a low price.
Now, we understand why a home or business owner would always be interested in saving money, but when you consider the risks involved in doing it yourself or hiring an unregistered electrician, is the low price really worth the risk? One of the first rules of gambling is to never take a risk you can’t afford to lose. And we’re willing to bet that your residential or commercial property is not something you can afford to lose. But you should be prepared for that possibility whenever you are tempted by the promise of lower prices.
If something goes wrong with your DIY electrical project, there’s a high probability of injury or damage to your property. And you can bet your insurance company won’t be too keen to cover the bill when they find out that the damage to your building and yourself was completely self-inflicted and avoidable. So, if you like the price of doing it yourself, be aware of hospital bills, the cost of fire restoration services and more before you go ahead.
In addition, an unregistered electrician is not licensed for several important reasons. Becoming registered as an electrician is more than just memorising facts and passing an exam. It holds the electrician responsible and imposes penalties for illegal, immoral or incompetent actions. Those who are not licensed are denied for very important and serious reasons. Do you really want them working in your home or business?
