When it comes to your home’s electrical wiring, safety is of the utmost importance. You can’t and shouldn’t risk facing the fallout of faulty wiring. While DIY panel rewiring appeals to people who want to save money, you can’t deny that it can be a bad idea for many reasons. In fact, DIY panel rewiring has costly and destructive consequences. As the expert in all things electrical, we discuss why DIY can be risky when it comes to electrical panel installation in Deltona, FL.
Safety
DIY electrical panel repair can be very dangerous, and many people have been injured because of burns or electrocution. Rewiring an electrical panel incorrectly can cause an electrical fire or electric shock. Many parts go into a rewiring job, including the correct type of wire and fasteners and the suitable switches and breakers. Even if you purchase new breakers and controls, cutting and splicing may compromise the safety of your home’s electrical system.
Electrical Code Violations
Depending on your home type, a DIY electrical panel replacement might directly violate the local electrical code or building code. For example, if a rewire is done incorrectly, the electrical system in a home might fail. Also, some electrical regulations require a professional licensed electrical contractor do the panel wiring to ensure safety and prevent electric shock or fire hazards.
Electrical Short Circuits
DIY panel rewiring procedures, as opposed to professional electrical panel services, can result in many loose connections that cause electricity to get open or short circuits leading to arcing or electric shocks. This can also cause a fire which can leave you with substantial damages or even destroyed property and contents.
