CSG Electric Planning on DIY Electrics – Is It Even Legal | Seite 14

Why you should get an Approved Electrical
Contractor
If you are still not convinced - after reading about permits, insurance,
inspections and certifications as well as potential future liability - that
the DIY approach to electrical work is not a good idea. Then let’s
consider some other reasons you might want to employ a qualified
electrical contractor. These are less profound but still relevant reasons
for calling in a professional.
1. Electrical work is dangerous and around 30% of all deaths caused
by electrical work in the home are associated with installing,
maintaining, repairing and renovating.
2. Professional contractors have all the necessary safety equipment,
test equipmentand tools for the job.
3. Professional contractors are expert on the local electrical standards,
codes and best practices and be knowledgeable through training and
experience of all the common defects that result in failed inspections.
