Don’t DIY! Call A Warrington Electrician
Don't DIY! Call A Electrician
With the
recent bank holiday being the last one before Christmas, many
people used this as the last opportunity for attempting the many
DIY jobs needed to keep a property in tip top condition. When it
comes to DIY, stereotypically most women expect men to have the
necessary knowledge and skills, and most men have a huge ego and
don't want to call in the professionals. A recent survey showed
that more than half of men would prefer to call a mate for help, or
watch help videos on You Tube and then attempt a DIY job
themselves, rather than call in a professional.
Electrical Services DISASTER!!!
The Electrical Safety Council (ESC) carried out a survey which
found that almost half of all severe electrical shocks were caused
by botched DIY attempts. The main causes were cutting through power
leads, drilling into walls without checking the location of
existing power cables and trying to complete repairs on electrical
equipment without firstly switching it off.
When asking electricians, over a third said that they had been
called in to fix bothed DIY jobs that had resulted in severe shocks
and even fires. These botched DIY jobs involved significant
financial costs to repair.
