Can I Get Away With Doing DIY Electrical Work?

Household electrical safety warnings by the government are nothing new, yet there are still several fatalities owing to DIY electrical work attempts each year in Australia. There is nothing wrong with doing basic maintenance such as changing light bulbs but it is important to make sure the power source is switched off. In fact some devices store a huge electrical charge, even after the power is cut off. If you’re totally new to appliance repairs, it is wise to steer clear of doing any DIY electrical jobs at your property and rely solely on a licensed electrician.

Why Hire Master Electricians?


A master electrician is not only licensed but will have several years of experience and have been required to pass an exam to qualify. You are therefore assured of a qualified repairman who will do the job safely for you. After all, ensuring the health and safety of your family or employees is far more valuable than the dollars you pay the electrician.

Why Should I Not Try DIY Electrical Work?


For one, there is always a safety risk. Plus, you would need electrical tools that would likely cost you much more than hiring a master electrician to do the job for you. Professional electricians come equipped with amp meters and other devices that allow them to work safely, avoiding any electrical hazard. Also, it saves you a lot of time. Qualified electricians should be able to identify and fix the problem far quicker than you or I could.

Leave Complex Tasks to Master Electricians


Many electrical tasks require compliance with legalities laid down by the state government, while others are only allowed to be done by a qualified electrician. Master electricians are knowledgeable about such legalities as well as being trained and certified by competent authorities to keep people safe. For example the installation of solar panels and air conditioners can require work on roofs or in ceiling spaces, which holds risks of its own.
