Why You Should Never Hire A “Discount” Electrician

Some things are worth saving money on, but other things are worth every penny. When it comes to your home or business, hiring a professional to take care of the electrical work is worth the investment. Here’s why: 

Increased Safety & Insurance

It probably goes without saying, but ‘safety’ and ‘electricity’ go hand in hand. In fact, May is National Electrical Safety Month! Electrical malfunction is a leading cause of large fires, and thousands of people are injured each year due to electrical problems in their homes. Many electrical safety hazards can be avoided if you hire someone who knows what they are doing.

Professional electricians are insured, which means if they are injured or if something happens while they are working on your property, everyone is covered. You might not be so lucky with a discount electrician, and you could be on the hook for damages or liability costs. 

Professional Training

You can find a lot of great DIY information on the internet these days, but only professional electricians have the training and certification needed to do the job properly. A professional can help you troubleshoot any power problems you might be having, and make sure that everything is done with the proper permits and code regulations. Electrical systems are complex networks of wires and circuits, even in a small home.

Quality & Cost

When it comes to repair and renovation work, you want it done right the first time. Investing in a professional can actually save you money since you won’t have to pay to have the work redone in the future. Even simple jobs can turn costly if a discount electrician causes damage to any of your existing electrical systems. Remember to always take the time to discuss insurance and certifications before hiring a contractor, especially an electrician.
