Your local Warrington Electricians have seen multiple failed DIY attempts on a range of electrical installations. DIY and electrics just simply never end well – especially when it comes to complex installations like consumer units.
Unfortunately, due to the cost-of-living crisis, we suspect DIY electrical fails could increase where people are taking matters into their own hands. However, failed DIY attempts always end up with the customer spending more money trying to resolve the issue than if they had just hired a professional local electrician to begin with. Studies show almost a quarter of all DIY electrical work ends in disaster and electricians coming to the rescue!

Our services include happily rectifying your DIY electrical work with no judgement. Emphasis on the no judgement – we understand times can be tough! With our experience, there isn’t much we haven’t seen so rest assured we will be able to repair your electrical fault efficiently, safely and to the highest standard.
Reasons why you should NOT attempt DIY electrics
Apart from the obvious one being it can be extremely dangerous, there are other reasons why you should not attempt DIY electrics. Electricians go through intense training over the course of many, many years and often never stop learning. This means you simply cannot learn everything from one YouTube tutorial which is why mistakes are often made.
Fire hazards
Electrical fires are a common cause thanks to dodgy DIY attempts. If you’re working with an older electrical system, we highly recommend you reconsider the DIY method and get in contact with a qualified electrician. Even for the most experienced electricians, old faulty wiring can be hard to work with so for everyone’s safety it’s a smart idea to hand this over to a professional.
Electrical safety standards, building codes & other permits
Electrical work on a large scale such as rewiring must conform to current electrical safety standards. These regulations are in place to offer optimal safety when it comes to your electrical system and include a range of safety measures such as RCDs – lifesaving devices. Another thing to consider is any electrical work which hasn’t been properly certified by a qualified electrician, will put people off buying your property if you ever decide to sell. It will be seen as a huge red flag as it should!
Increased costs
At first glance the DIY method might seem cheaper but once mistakes have been made, they can be costly to fix. In the majority of cases, you’ll save more money by hiring a qualified electrician to carry out the works safely and efficiently first time around.
