This is the age of do it yourself.  A lot of times, people will run down to the hardware store or big box home improvement center and buy a book, or maybe buy a DVD and think they know everything on how to wire their homes.  As a professional electrician in Ahwatukee, and we can't stress this enough: electricity is dangerous.

According to the Canadian equivalent of OSHA, the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety:

"Why is it so important to work safely with or near electricity?
The voltage of the electricity and the available electrical current in regular businesses and homes has enough power to cause death by electrocution. Even changing a light bulb without unplugging the lamp can be hazardous because coming in contact with the "hot", "energized" or "live" part of the socket could kill a person.

What do I need to know about electricity?
All electrical systems have the potential to cause harm. Electricity can be either "static" or "dynamic." Dynamic electricity is the uniform motion of electrons through a conductor (this is known as electric current). Conductors are materials that allow the movement of electricity through it. Most metals are conductors. The human body is also a conductor. This document is about dynamic electricity.

Note: Static electricity is accumulation of charge on surfaces as a result of contact and friction with another surface. This contact/friction causes an accumulation of electrons on one surface, and a deficiency of electrons on the other surface. The OSH Answers document on How Do I Work Safely with Flammable and Combustible Liquids? (Static Electricity) has more information.

Electric current cannot exist without an unbroken path to and from the conductor. Electricity will form a "path" or "loop". When you plug in a device (e.g., a power tool), the electricity takes the easiest path from the plug-in, to the tool, and back to the power source. This is also known as creating or completing an electrical circuit." [Visit Source]

What to Know Before You Hire An Electrical Contractor in Phoenix

If you need any electrical work done with regard to lighting installations, security systems or anything dealing with electric lines, it is advisable to hire an electrical contractor to do it for you. Even on a small do-it-yourself project, you could make a mistake on the wiring that would lead to a disastrous outcome.

Your best choice is hiring an electrical contractor that is able to fulfill your particular project need. Here are a few tips to consider before you hire one.

Set a Spending Limit for Your Electrician

Get an idea of just how much you want to spend for the entire job, including any parts and all labor costs. This can be an estimate budget since you will need to wait on estimates to get an exact figure. Always leave a little cushion amount to go over, but not to exceed your budget by no more than 15-20%.
Do background research. You can do a pre-screening of the potential contractors to help make the best decision. Call the electrical contractors to get a bit of information before you even schedule then to do an estimate. Write down all the information you receive from them. Some screening questions to ask are:

· How long has your company been in business?

· Can you guarantee all work that you do in writing?

· Are you bonded and insured?

· Are you licensed and carry the right certifications?

· Can you give at least three references?

Check each reference. The contractor should have no problem giving you any references. Most times, people do not check the references which is a big mistake. You want to follow up with the references to find out the quality of the contractor's work, or if the contractor gave them an accurate estimate. Find out if the contractor performed all the work as scheduled, and if they had a good work ethic. More importantly, find out if they would hire the contractor again. You can also check out the BBB for your state to see how reliable the contractor is.

Finding people that you can trust is always a challenge in life.  However, let their reputation give you a whole lot of information about them.  That way you know you've got the right electrical contractor in Ahwatukee.
