While DIY projects can be rewarding, electrical work is one area where you should always call a professional. In New Zealand, unauthorized electrical work is not only dangerous but often illegal.
Safety First
The most obvious risk is electrocution. Licensed electricians have the training and equipment to handle high voltage safely. One small mistake can be fatal.
Fire Hazards
Incorrectly wired sockets or overloaded circuits are a leading cause of house fires. What looks like a simple fix can slowly overheat behind your walls.
Insurance Complications
If a fire is caused by unauthorized electrical work, your insurance company may refuse to pay your claim. The small saving of a DIY fix isn't worth losing your home's cover.
