Electrical Work Safety Tips
¢ The first and only safety tip is don't do your own electrical work, menses.

Actually I am only 95% serious nearly that statement. I am all for self-sufficiency, however, only when the advantage outweighs the adventure, and I am not sure saving money meets that criteria. For whatsoever electrical repair or modification that you are not very familiar with or 100% confident in your ability to perform, you should use a professional, licensed electrician, preferably one that is well experienced. It has always been perplexing to me that there are folks that think electrical piece of work is simple. For sure it is not brain surgery, but there are idiosyncrasies that must be controlled and that tin best exist done by someone who has done it many times already. Fifty-fifty in the example of hiring an electrical contractor, you risk getting someone who may accept a little experience but may be doing what you hire him to do for the first time. If you do your own carpentry work, you lot may end up with a kleptomaniacal wall. If yous exercise your own plumbing work, you may end upwards with water on the floor. If yous do your own electrical work, you may end up ¦ ¦.Well, I will let you finish that sentence.
