How to avoid an electrical DIY nightmare when renovating
Are you planning a DIY electrical renovation this year? We know Aussie’s love to do it all at home themselves, but there are some signs to look out for that might suggest you should bring in outside help for your project.
Did you know in Australia each year 40 per cent of house fires are caused by electrical faults and electrical appliances? Nobody wants to put their family at risk and cause damage to their newly renovated home just to save a few dollars installing wires yourself.
It’s simple things that many don’t think will cause a problem, but they do. When it comes to wiring, it is essential you get it right. Not properly securing it or using the incorrect size can cause the wires to overheat and risk a house fire. It is also in breach of violations. In fact, you could find yourself up to $22,000 out of pocket for electrical work in your home that hasn’t been undertaken by a licenced or certified electrician.
