Please Don’t Try to Fix That!

Ever had an electrical problem and thought, “I can fix that?” Then Turns out you almost ruined your entire electrical system? When you are considering whether you can fix electrical outlets, wiring or install a new fuse box for your house, reconsider it. With no prior knowledge of electricity, besides the four AA batteries you just bought at Target, more than likely it is impossible for you to tackle the job correctly that is in front of you.

Doing a job incorrectly could cause a serious fire hazard. Having to fix it later can cost you more money than if you hired a qualified electrician like USA Electric to do it right the first time. When dealing with something that can kill you, such as being shocked, you should hire an expert who knows what they’re doing. Installing the simplest electrical component, like a light bulb, people still sometimes make mistakes. Most incandescent light bases are intended for 60 watt light bulbs which will state the rating on the base. However, if you put a bulb higher than 100 watts in the base, it will overheat and possibly cause a fire. We doubt if you want an open flame in your home or office. Or better yet, a damaged socket.

To make wire connections, never under any circumstance, wrap the wires around each other to make a connection. This is an electrical fire waiting to happen. Any wiring you use must be rated for the connections being made. If you are installing a new outlet to your circuit breaker, and the wire is only rated for 15 amps but your breaker or fuse is rated for 20 amps you are going to cause serious problems. Overloading your circuits are indeed a no no. If the numbers do not match, then do not use the fuses. Simply call USA Electric your local electrician to come and give you an estimate on installing the new outlet or breaker at an affordable price.

Now you know why you need a dependable and experienced electrician to fix any electrical problems in your home or office instead of trying to fix them yourself. This is a very small price to pay to have problems solved in a safe and proper manner. Call the experts, USA Electric, to take care of the electrical repairs today!
