A Residential Electrician Has Liability Insurance

Theft, injuries and accidents could happen during any electrical project. With a liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage, you’re fully protected from huge financial claims when a licensed electrician in Chandler sustains injuries at work or your property sustains damages.

People often hire unlicensed handyman or electricians to save some money, but without any guarantee of quality service, you could actually be wasting more money on recurring electrical issues that are not fixed properly. Worse, you may be jeopardizing the safety of your family or workers when you hire an unqualified electrician.  However, there are other legal problems you may encounter by not hiring a licensed and professional electrician.  You could find yourself in trouble with the city.

Electrical Injury, Fire  and Worst Case Scenarios

Building permits exist for a reason.  They are designed to make sure that any projects you're doing are within the confines of the law.  If you try to do a wiring project yourself and an electrical fire happens as a result, the city can legally fine you and charge you for emergency services.  All of which could have been avoided with the help of an electrician contractor.

But it's not just fire you have to worry.  There is also the very real danger of electrical injury.  Here is some information from OSHA:

"Electric shock is a reflex response possibly involving trauma
which occurs when electrical current passes over or through a
worker’s body. It usually involves burns and abnormal heart
rhythm and unconsciousness.
Electrocution
Electrocution occurs when electrical current passes over or
through a worker’s body resulting in a fatality.
Falls
Electric shock may cause muscles to contract causing a
worker to lose his or her balance and fall. An explosion
from an electrical incident can also cause a fall.
.
Burns
Electrical burns are the most common shock-related, nonfatal injury.
They occur when a worker contacts energized electrical wiring or
equipment. Although electrical burns can occur anywhere on the
body, they most often occur on the hands and feet." [READ MORE]

If you have any faulty appliance that needs repairs, a electrical problem that needs quick attention, or a new electrical outlet that needs to be installed, it is best to get a licensed electrician to do the job.

So remember, you want to be safe.  You want your home to be safe as well.  One way to accomplish this is to hire a licensed electrician in Chandler.

Information about Electrical Projects

"How hard can it be?"

This is the first question that daring homeowners asks themselves when approaching an electrical repair that they think is going to be easy. Encouraged partly by the prospect of saving on the cost of repair, and the DIY (Do it yourself) craze that is currently sweeping over the United States; non-licensed homeowners are now resorting to their own tools with step-by-step videos acting as guides.

However, not only do you legally require a fully qualified electrician to fix complex electrical problems but recent statistics also show that over 350,000 people incur serious injuries from electric shocks annually. That's a little under 1,000 separate cases every day. And what for?

Realistically, the hospital bill will probably cost more than hiring a professional electrician in the first place. Do not be penny wise and pound foolish, when it comes to complex electrical wiring jobs, DIY is a gamble that you should never undertake.

Why Hire an Electrician in Chandler?

Other than saving yourself stupendous medical bills, there are a number of benefits that you stand to enjoy when you hire a professional electrician. These are listed below;

1.Incorrectly installed electronics can kill

Do you know that on average, 30 people die each year in the U.S due to electrocutions and electric burns? Yes, electricity is an incredibly dangerous thing. In fact, the seemingly mundane 230 volts domestic supply is more than needed to kill. Furthermore, electrical faults can also start fires- you could lose everything including your family.

2. Save on costs

These are frugal times and most homeowners are doing everything in their power to cut on costs. But then again, let's not forget that cheap is expensive. For instance, by calling in an unlicensed fly-by-night electrician who operates from the trunk of his car you're actually setting yourself up for a future repair that might cost double what you're paying now. It often costs more to hire an electrician to put things right than it would have done to hire a qualified electrician in the first place. Don't be cheap; hire a fully licensed electrician in Chandler and save your money, and quite possibly more.  You could end up saving your life as well.
