Is your electrician a pro?

11/14/2011 6:00:00 AM

Even the handiest of handymen leave electrical work to licensed, professional electricians.

Electricity can be dangerous in a home that’s improperly wired, has overloaded circuits or has exposed or defective wiring, receptacles and switches.

Even if the job seems simple, it’s better to call an experienced electrician to do it. Most electricians have hours of on-the-job training under the supervision of a more experienced electrician and have passed an exam.

So don’t leave your electrical work to your handyman, your brother-in-law or yourself. The money you spend hiring a professional will more than pay off in peace of mind and a safe home.
