DYI projects around the home are rewarding and often fun. Those who have the tools and know how are extremely capable at handling the most daunting tasks. The lament however, might get frustrated or annoyed at trying to complete a project with youtube as their only tutor. Even though that expert may make it look easy and quick, often those are the projects that fall flat and a professional is called from the reserves to not only fix the initial problem, but then fix the mess we made trying to do it ourselves.

Dangers of DIY Electrical Wiring & Work

There are many dangers when jumping in blindly in completing some labor that requires expertise and skilled knowledge. Electrical work would probably top that that list. Not only can serious damage happen to your home but so can lethal injury if one takes on the electrical work they know little about.

DIY Electrical Projects are Unlicensed

Consider your home or appliance that you are trying to fix. The slightest mistake can fry or melt your wires rendering it useless. Often insurance companies won’t cover the catastrophic events for the DIY enthusiast.
You generally may not know, but there are also legal penalties as well. DIY electrical work is regarded as unlicensed electrical work, which is illegal and can come with heavy fines up to $40,000 for individuals. That’s for the slap on the wrist mistakes. A breech that causes death or grievous to bodily harm can be up to $200,000 for individuals, and $1,000,000 to corporations, and up to three years imprisonment.
