Home Electrical Contractor in Omaha, NE

Many homeowners, especially new homeowners, are adept at looking for ways to save a few dollars. Add to this the fact that there are a plethora of Do-It-Yourself TV shows, and it seems tempting to try to do your own electrical work. Even if something seems a little bit over your head, you might still be able to find a handyman who can take care of it for you on the cheap.

On a technical, legal level, you are allowed to do your own electrical work. However, if that electrical work causes a fire, your homeowner’s insurance provider will likely be very reluctant to cover the cost. Especially if the fire inspector finds that the electrical wiring was not up to code.

It’s also worth bearing in mind that a lot of people who attempt their own electrical work do so as part of a remodeling project to upgrade their home before putting it on the market. In a case like this, the prospective buyers may request an inspection, which typically includes a very thorough electrical inspection.

If that inspection reveals substandard electrical work or wiring and fixtures that do not meet often complicated building codes, it could void their offer, or cause them to request you make the changes through professional means.

While you can indeed attempt your own residential electric work, it’s not advisable for those reasons and more. If you need to do more than say plug in a surge protector, swap a light bulb, or something similarly simple, it’s best to seek out a licensed, professional electrician like the contractors at Brase Electrical.

Home Safety And Security Systems

Many homeowners are interested in having a home security system installed. Right now this market niche is spoiled for choice.

If they are installed incorrectly it can lead to faults in the system and potentially damage components.
