There are several risks that come with electrical work, since electricity poses many hazards. If you don’t know which wires are safe to touch, or what tools you can use safely, then there’s an increased risk of injury, shocks, or fires.

Insurance companies have the right to deny any claims they believe resulted from negligence.

When you hire a licensed electrician, you ensure that the proper permits are in place and the work is certified. You will be covered for any damage that may occur to your home as a result of an electrical issue.

There are over 51,000 house fires in the US every year due to electrical fires, many of which are caused by improper repair work.

If the fire begins within the walls of your home, or in another hidden section of your home, you may not notice until it’s too late.
