“I can fix that!” This is something you may be tempted to say when you find small problems with the electrical system in your house. You may like to do work on your own home and if you have the right skill set, a do it yourself project is rewarding because you save money and have the satisfaction of a job well done. However, when you are dealing with electrical work, this is a completely different issue. Think twice before you begin working on electoral-related projects. The potential hazards can be very dramatic. Consider these risks and then call an electrician in Santa Monica, such as one from Electric Connection, to help with your next project.

Each year, hundreds of fires are caused from unstable wiring and insecure connections. Using a licensed Santa Monica electrician assures that code is followed and that the wiring will be done properly.
You can hurt yourself if you mishandle a wire or do not perform the job just right. Experienced electricians have spent hundreds of hours learning safety skills that prevent this.
If you install an electrical implement wrong, you can easily fry or melt the item or even harm the wiring in the walls. If you cause this through your own lack of skills, your insurance company may not pick up the bill.

It may seem like you can save money by choosing to “do it yourself” on your electrical project. However, even a relatively simple project can become complicated and expensive if you do not understand exactly what you are doing. Instead of suffering alone, call Electric Connection and let one of our many experts come out and help you complete your project safely and with the necessary skill. In most cases, you will save money since you have less to worry about when you use an expert.
