It’s always tempting to try to save money. But should you as a homeowner replace an electrical panel yourself? While you might save money upfront, the potential for increased costs down the road encourages many home and property owners to trust expert electricians instead. Here are a few reasons why you should have Gaddie Electric install your electrical panels and complete breaker box upgrades:
To Replace an Electrical Panel Safely
Master electricians train both in school and on the job to ensure their actions are safe every time. Without a certified electrician to perform work on your breaker box, you run the risk of starting an electrical fire. Worse yet, if you have little experience with electricity, you could electrocute yourself.
Electrical Panel Replacement Code
It is our job to know the state code regulations as well as municipal bylaws concerning electrical work. If small items are missed when doing the work yourself, there’s a good chance that your work will fail inspection.
Power
Electricians know how much power to allocate within your breaker box. Incorrect voltages can damage your appliances or cause them not to function if they aren’t receiving adequate current.
Protecting Your Investment
We can extend the life of your electrical panels and protect your investment by ensuring the installation is done correctly. Electricity is serious because it is powerful, and you will want to ensure that everything is in order.
Cost to Replace an Electrical Panel
The initial cost to replace an electrical panel yourself may be low. But, repairs to homeowner electrical work can be costly when wiring is improperly installed. A licensed electrician will ensure that every wire within your breaker box is run properly. And, equally as important, connected to the right place in the right way.
