DIY Electrical can be done easily we the help of youtube tutorials these days. With so much information online, fixing our own home electrical appliances may seem doable.
As with all DIY, there are risk injury involved especially with electrical works since getting electrocuted is no joking matter and in a worst-case scenario, may cause fire hazards or even death.
Below we will discuss on some of the points as to why, you should hire a professional electrician to fix, repair & install your electrical points.
1 – Equipped With The Right Tools
When you hire a professional electrician, you can be assured that they will be equipped with the right tools. Using the right tools for the job can help reduce the risk of injury while at the same time, reducing any possible damages to your walls & property.
2 – Electrocution
As we mentioned above, due to the lack of professional tools, you may be electrocuted while trying to work with any live electrical points.
This is extremely dangerous as it increases the risk of injuries and may even cause fire hazard & death if voltage discharge is not rectified immediately
3 – Improper Wiring
In Singapore, if you’re ever working with any wires, chances are, you would have come across the ground wire. The ground wire works as a mechanism to discharge voltage away so that you would not get electrocuted.
If you did not link the wires properly and fail to connect the ground wires, there is a chance you may get electrocuted.
4 – Fire Hazard
When your wiring to your switches and electrical points are not properly connected, there is a possibility that this may lead to an electricity leakage which will cause a fire hazard.
This is very dangerous and with so many recent reports in Singapore of such fire hazard, it is important to ensure that your home is safe and protect from these dangers.
4 – Certifications & Experience
With so many government bodies offering certification, a reputable and trusted electrical service company will at least be registered with 1 or more certifications.
Getting a certified electrician to do your electrical services can ensure that your home electrical works are in good hands.
To sweeten the deal, the electrician that you hire, with their experience, will be able to minimize the visual exposure of the trucking and wires making your home look neater.
