With all the “Do it yourself” videos on the internet, you may want to do electrical work yourself. Before you attempt, please read the following statement made by the Electrical Safety Authority: “Electrical fatalities in the general public have now outnumbered fatalities in workers.” You can read more about this report on their website Electrical Safety Authority. Don’t be one of these fatalities and, consider hiring a licensed electrician for your electrical projects.

THE DANGERS OF DOING THE WORK YOURSELF

No matter how little the job is, if you are not knowledgeable or trained in working with electricity, you can cause unrepairable damage to your home or make a fatal mistake and lose your life.

WHY YOU SHOULD HIRE AN ELECTRICIAN

Electricians have many years of hands-on experience and knowledge. They are fully qualified, follow strict codes and will be able to guide you in obtaining the right license for your projects. Electricians are liable for the work done and can face fines if the work is not up too standard. Wouldn’t you be pleased to know that the work is completed with the highest quality and that your family is safe?

WHO TO HIRE

If you choose to hire a licensed electrician for your projects, you should look for their ECRA / ESA licensed number. This number should appear on their website, vehicle, and all correspondence such as quotes and business cards. You can also verify for a licensed contractor on the Electrical Safety Authority.
