Part One
Homeowners and business owners alike can be tempted to perform tasks that should be handled by a licensed electrician. Some require a certified electrician for code and permitting purposes. Others should be performed by a licensed electrician simply for safety reasons. Our next series of articles will cover tasks that should be performed by a licensed residential electrician or commercial electrician.
Ceiling Fan Installation
While it may be tempting to try this yourself, ceiling fan installation is not always as easy as it may seem. We’ve all heard horror stories of homeowners getting shocked when working with live wiring. A licensed electrician will test the wires, ensure dimmers and lighting are working properly and make sure your ceiling fan is safely installed and ready for you to enjoy.
Backup Generator Installation
The installation of a backup generator should be handled by a licensed electrician for many reasons, including proper sizing, placement, and overall safety. Additionally, if you are considering a Generac, only Generac dealers are trained and qualified to install these units.
Landscape Lighting
Landscape lighting brightens up your yard and the areas around your home. There are many considerations when installing landscape lighting, many of which involve the wiring. Any project that involves wiring should be handled by a certified electrician. Additionally, a licensed electrician can conduct an electrical safety inspection of the area to identify and resolve any underlying issues.
