Philadelphia Electrician Performs Safe Lighting Repair

By Carmella Isenhour


A light going out may not always be the result of a faulty bulb. When changing them fails to solve the problem, or if this task has to be performed frequently, the circuit could be malfunctioning and the issue might require the services of a skilled Philadelphia electrician.

It is not advisable for an individual to attempt any electrical repairs on their own unless they have proper training, and then they should only do basic tasks.

If an individual does decide to perform electrical work themselves and accidentally start a fire, their insurance company is unlikely to cover the damages.

Prior to starting a DIY task of this sort, take digital photos that show how the wires should be connected, since many people are injured each year messing with electricity and failing to rewire correctly, or neglecting to both turn the circuits off and check that the current is indeed disconnected with a voltmeter, prior to beginning the work.

You may be able to replace a switch or install a new light fixture yourself, or add a ceiling fan to an existing fixture. Anything more than that, and you should call a Philadelphia electrician. If you are not completely confident in your DIY abilities - call a professional.

In the long run, it pays to call a professional because it can be not only embarrassing, but also rather expensive, to have to hire someone to correct DIY mistakes. Situations an be made worse through actions such as using CFL bulbs with dimmer switches, causing them to overheat or blow a fuse, especially in older houses.

A respectable contractor should have fair prices, particularly for small tasks, and homeowners can rest easy knowing the work was done efficiently. Every safety precaution should be observed when performing electrical work oneself. For peace of mind in the long term, and added security, it is recommended to call a professional first.
