Safety is non-negotiable
Unfortunately, each year an alarming number of people in Australia lose their lives because of dangerous electrical incidents in the home. Hundreds more are injured, even hospitalised over electricity-related accidents.
Ensuring that you only use a licensed electrician in Sydney to carry out electrical works is an absolute number one safety measure in preventing casualties. Here are three reasons why.

Legally it would help if you used a licensed electrician in Sydney and NSW
Some trades don’t require a license to be held, like small handymen jobs. Others require a license to be held if the job is above a certain value. But with electrical jobs, NSW Fair Trading is quite clear that all electrical work, regardless of its value, big or small, MUST only be carried out by a licensed electrician. It is illegal to do it yourself.

Electrical work is one of the riskiest
Wirings and electrical connections are extremely risky. They can be fatal if done incorrectly. A licensed electrician will ensure nothing in your electrical system can harm your family.
Likewise, different types of properties require specific types of electricians.
For instance, residential electricians often install, maintain, and update electrical equipment in houses or apartments. They can also help in installing alarm systems. Commercial electricians, on the other hand, work mainly on construction sites and mechanical electrical systems. There is a great difference between their expertise.
A background check of any electrician should be carried out and will tell you if they are suited for your particular job.

Getting the job done right, first time round
As with any house-related repairs and renovation work, it’s always less costly to get a job done properly the first time around. And using a licensed electrician, or any good tradie for that matter, is your best chance of achieving this.
A good electrician should be familiar with the standard electrical elements of most homes. They are also quicker to spot defects and other problems because of their training and experience.
When selecting an electrician, it’s important to look at their years of experience and check their licenses and insurance.
