Skip Your Next Electrical DIY Projects and Call the Pros!

Has spending more time at home got you completing a few home improvement projects? DIY projects are a lot of fun and can improving the space that you live in. Although there are a lot of DIY projects you can tackle yourself, we don’t recommend starting your own electrical project anytime soon unless you are a certified electrician. It may be tempting to try and do your own electrical work, but there is a lot of risk that comes with it. Read on to find out why you shouldn’t DIY your electrical work from our electrical contracting company at the Lake of the Ozarks.


#1 Your Safety 

Electricity can be extremely dangerous. If you don't know the ins and outs of the electrical system you could get seriously injured, or worse, killed. Not only do put yourself in danger, but you could also potentially put others at risk if they are nearby.

#2 Your Future Safety 

There are obvious risks at the moment when you are completing electrical work. Arguably, one of the biggest risks is future safety concerns. Just because everything is working does not mean that everything is safe or completed correctly. Fire hazards and an electrical shock can pop up later if the electrical work is not completed correct.

#3 Diagnosing the Problem 

If you are experiencing a problem with your electric, pinpointing exactly what's wrong can be a challenge. You may think you know what the issue is and be completely wrong. You will be frustrated if you spend time and money fixing the issue and it ends up not being what is wrong. At Catalyst Electric, we have years of experience under our belt diagnosing problems. Save yourself a headache and hire an experienced electrician at the Lake of the Ozarks to fix the problem.

#4 Save Money in the Future 

This goes back to having the experience and knowledge needed to complete electrical work. If you lack the necessary knowledge and you make a mistake, you will end up spending more than if you would have just started by hiring a professional in the first place.

#5 Protecting Your Devices 

The electrical system is a complex system. You could damage appliances and other devices if the wiring is done incorrectly. Worn out or overloaded circuits can cause problems and potentially damage your appliance motors.



It’s best to leave your electrical work to the professionals. Catalyst Electric is licensed, insured and ready to tackle your next project. Our company is owned by master and journeymen electricians and we guarantee top quality work, every time. Give us a cal for your next project!
