Reliable Lighting Repairs From A Philadelphia Electrician

By Carmella Isenhour


A faulty bulb may not always be the reason a light goes out. If switching bulbs does not work, or one finds themselves constantly changing them out, the circuit might not functioning properly and there might be a problem that requires the attention of a qualified Philadelphia Electrician.

It is not advisable for an individual to attempt any electrical repairs on their own unless they have proper training, and then they should only do basic tasks.

Apart from anything else, if you repair something yourself and start a fire, your insurance company may decide not to cover the damage.

Prior to starting a DIY task of this sort, take digital photos that show how the wires should be connected, since many people are injured each year messing with electricity and failing to rewire correctly, or neglecting to both turn the circuits off and check that the current is indeed disconnected with a voltmeter, prior to beginning the work.

Many people are capable of doing tasks like replacing switches, changing a lighting fixture, or installing a ceiling fan. Tasks that are more complicated than these should be left to someone with proper training. If one has even the slightest doubt in their DIY abilities, it is best to call a qualified professional.

In the long term it will be worth it, and few things are more embarrassing than calling an electrician to fix your jury-rigged repairs. You can even make the situation worse by, for example, overheating a dimmer switch (never use CFL bulbs with a dimmer switch) or blowing a fuse, in older houses.

A good electrician will not over-charge for minor projects and you will save time and have the peace of mind of knowing it was done right. So, make sure you are safe if you attempt electrical work, but consider just calling a professional. In the long term, it is often the better course of action.
