When dealing with an issue with your electrical system, it’s best to hire a professional to handle the job. While you might be tempted to fix the problem yourself, that may be dangerous if you’re not qualified, and you could do more harm than good. Consider hiring an electrician when:

• The electrical problem is too complex and above your experience level.
• It is challenging to find or identify the source of the electrical issue.
• A home remodel project involves adherence to electrical building code requirements.
• Replacing a breaker, transfer switch or old wiring.
• Conducting extensive electrical work, such as home rewiring or electrical installation.
• You lack the necessary tools, such as a voltmeter or multimeter, to conduct a proper inspection.
