Electrical Safety Tips

Shocking statistics about electrical fires show that most electrical fires start from wiring problems, faulty plugs or extension cords, and malfunctioning electrical appliances. Keep a keen eye on your property to make sure you identify any of these problems and have an electrician inspect it immediately. Having regular electrical safety checks is of absolute importance as it helps to identify areas to pay close attention on the next time your electrician is carrying out electrical safety inspection and maintenance.

Does DIY Electrical Work Affect my Electrical Safety?

DIY electrical work is dangerous and unnecessary. Unless you are a qualified and licensed Melbourne electrician, it is wise to let the professionals do their electrical safety inspection and solve whatever issue appropriately. In addition to putting yourself and others at risk of electrical dangers, DIY electrical work can also affect your house insurance cover. DIY electrical work by an unqualified person is illegal. Should a fire result from unqualified DIY electrical work, the insurance company may choose not to compensate you for the damage the fire causes.
