There are many projects around the house that you can do yourself after watching a quick video tutorial online, however, electrical work is not one of them. This is one trade in construction where DIY is strongly discouraged.

In fact, you’ll want to hire a licensed electrician not just your friendly neighborhood handyman.

Gone are the days when you could hire just anyone to tinker with electrical wires. The so-called ‘cowboys’ are a thing of the past, these days you’ll want to make sure your electrician is licensed to do the type of work you are requesting.

Work done by an unqualified homeowner or tradesman may violate building codes and could have serious implications if things go awry.

Sure you can change a light bulb yourself, but changing a light fixture is another story. Anything that involves wiring shown always include a call to a licensed electrician.

No job is too small when it comes to household electrical safety.

Electricians deal with electricity, so don’t confuse them to appliance repairmen.

Here at Ask A Walker, we value our clients, so we are giving you examples of money-saving electrical fixtures you can ask your electrician about:

• Replace Incandescent bulbs with Compact Fluorescent (CFL) energy-saving bulbs
• Upgrade your washer and dryer
• Install a programmable thermostat
• Use inexpensive wall outlet timers to control lights
