Why Hire Professionals for Electrical Remodels

January 04, 2023

Interested in completing an electrical remodel on your home? Here are a few key reasons you should hire a professional electrical contractor rather than trying to complete the work on your own:

DIY Electrical Work Is Dangerous

It’s more than electrocuting yourself that you need to worry about with an electrical remodel. Incorrect electrical work can cause house fires. In fact, electrical issues caused over 45,000 home fires between 2015-2019. Electrical fires also cause about 400 civilian deaths during that same time period. It’s not worth the risk, call an electrical contractor.

DIY Electrical Work Can Be Complicated

If you are feeling confident about your DIY electrical knowledge during your remodel, keep in mind that rewiring isn’t always as simple as it seems. What do you do if your outlets are missing grounds? What if your wires are too short? Do you know how to wire up a switch leg? These are common situations to come across during your electrical remodel and for an electrical contractor, they are fairly easy to problem-solve. However, as a homeowner, it’s easy to become quickly overwhelmed. Rather than wait until the point where you are already frustrated, it’s better to just call an electrical contractor from the get-go to save you the initial headache of working through complications.

Professional Electrical Remodeling Can Increase the Resale of Your Home

Old wiring can decrease your home’s resale value. However, so can a DIY job. If an inspector notices incorrect wiring during a home inspection, it could even cause a potential homebuyer to pull out of a deal. On the other hand, professional electrical remodels by an electrical contractor will likely increase your home’s resale value when you are ready to sell down the road.
