Do It Yourself projects are booming right now in almost every industry because, who wouldn’t want to save a little cash on the side, right? But sometimes that little bit of cash you save doesn’t outweigh the cost of problems you might run into forgoing a professional. While building and painting a bookshelf might be a very doable DIY project, electrical work is a whole different story. Some smaller projects, like replacing your outlet plate are easy and cheap to do, it’s really better to leave most of the work up to a professionally licensed electrician who you can trust to get the job done right. Here are some reasons to pick up the phone and call Fusion Electric the next time you need electrical work done in your home.

Your Health Is More Important

According to Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI) more than 30,000 non-fatal shock accidents occur every year. Realistically, that hospital bill will probably cost more than hiring a professional in the first place. So, we say, stop the DIY’s when it comes to your Kansas City area home’s electrical work.

You Could Cause More Problems

While you may be super handy and knowledgeable about home improvement, you’ll never be as well trained as a professional electrician. Many homeowners go into it with the best intentions and try to fix things around the house. We often get called in to correct the work of DIYers like loose wires and circuits, connecting the wrong wires, or overloading your electrical panel. These could all potentially cause a lot of damage if not fixed immediately.
