Why Hire a Professional Electrician vs. Doing It Yourself?
Homeowners and business owners alike are often motivated to take care of as many maintenance, inspection, and repair tasks as possible. While it might be tempting to attempt an electrical job yourself, it’s generally not a good idea to work with live electricity when you lack professional training and certification.
Chief reasons for hiring a pro instead of going the do-it-yourself route include:
Training and experience
The electricians at ARS/Rescue Rooter have years of experience and are licensed and certified. We follow industry best practices, so we are well-equipped to identify problems and come up with the most cost-effective and safe solutions for our customers. Trying to take care of it yourself, you may fail to detect a serious problem in your wiring, circuit box, or other aspects of the system that a pro would immediately notice and repair.
Safety
If you have not undergone formal training in how to handle electrical lines and power systems safely, you don’t want to learn this “on the job” trying to troubleshoot and make your repairs at work or home.
Avoid costly DIY and beginner mistakes
Pulling out wires or incorrectly installing modern ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) could mean you cause more damage and problems. Then, the professional electrician will have to fix your mistakes before moving to the main task.
Proper tools and equipment
The chances are good that you do not have the same set of equipment, parts, and tools that a professional electrician relies on daily. This means you can expect to make many trips to a store to purchase items you forgot to get the first time. Also, you may lack experience or knowledge to use these tools or devices correctly or even know when to use them.
What Are Some Common Electrical Issues?
Before connecting with ARS/Rescue Rooter about taking care of an electrical issue at your company or your home, here are some of the most common problems that require service:
Enormous electricity bills
When customers notice a sharp increase in their utility bill, but they have not made any significant changes in their ordinary use, it could be a sign of a device or multiple devices causing power surges. A professional should come to investigate the system.
Electrical shock
It can be quite alarming to receive a mild electrical shock when accidentally touching an outlet or switch. The problem could be a short in the wiring, or a connection may have come loose. You’ll need someone to troubleshoot the system at your job or home to see what kind of rewiring may be in store for you.
Light switches are hot to the touch
Dimmer switches sometimes feel warm when operating normally. Ordinarily, switches that only turn the lights on or off should not be hot. There could be an issue with a broken or loosened wire, which needs prompt attention.
Frequent instances of circuit breakers tripping
Ordinarily, your circuit breakers should not keep tripping. A circuit breaker safeguards your electrical system, shutting off when it detects a surge of power. An electrician will need to investigate to determine if it’s a problem with grounding, loose wires, short circuits, or some other technical problem.
Ongoing power surges
Power surges can occur for myriad reasons. A broken power line or a lightning strike can be the culprit. Or, the surges keep occurring because there is an issue with an appliance. Ruling out these common problems, your electrician may determine the issue is with your home or company’s wiring needing to be fixed or upgraded.
