dddAre you thinking of doing some renovations? With many people doing a lot of the work themselves these days, the possibilities of achieving your vision has become more likely even if it takes awhile or a lot of sweat equity.

The best time to involve your electrician in your renovations however is as early as possible. Most people don’t take care of their own electrical, which is a good choice. That’s not to say you can’t. The building code allows for the homeowner to do many things on their own, but that means you, not your uncle Jimmy does the work.

When you hire an electrician, you know you’re getting:

1. An electrician knows what you can and can’t do so you don’t have to change your plans later.

2. When an electrician can work out in the open before the walls are insulated or closed in then they waste less time pulling wires through walls.

3. Permits can sometimes take time to sort through. You want to work when you want to, not when the government says it’s okay. An electrician gets their own permits.

 When you’re planning that expansion, call an electrician early. You might be surprised how much you’ll save, especially if you’re paying for straight time.
