Certified Electrician, Wilmington, NC

It is always best to choose a certified electrician rather than use a general handyman or do the work yourself.

One of the questions we often get asked here at Maguire Electric is why it is best to hire a certified electrician for all electrical work at your Wilmington, North Carolina home or business. There are actually several reasons why it is highly recommended that you choose a certified electrician over a general handyman or attempt to handle your own electrical work.

  • Compliance and permits- You won’t have to worry about going afoul of a local ordinance, building code, or permitting requirement when you have a certified electrician do the work.

  • National Electric Code guidelines- It takes time to become trained in the standardized guidelines, so a certified electrician needs several years of experience and must pass an exam to become certified.
  • Insurance issues- Your insurance company will be less than happy if you have electrical work done by an unlicensed person. In fact, if there were a problem, they could deny your claim.
  • Peace of mind- You really do not want to lose sleep wondering if an electrical spark due to a mistake could start your house or business on fire. You can rest much easier if you know a certified electrician took care of the electrical work.
  • Complex issues- If you have something more complicated than swapping out an outlet or light switch, such as doing pool electrical wiring, outdoor kitchen electrical installation, or installing a whole-house generator, you should leave those for a certified electrician to be sure it is done right.

FAQs

Electricity plays an essential role in your home or business, but that doesn’t mean you know tons about your electrical system. Fortunately, we are experts that you can rely on for answers, and we have compiled a list of a few frequently asked questions in hopes that their answers will be informative and useful to you. Check them out and contact us with any additional questions you have for our team.

Is it okay to DIY electrical work?
We understand that many homeowners or business owners may want to tackle small electrical repairs or installations on their own, but we advise against it. You never know what you don’t know until an accident happens or you make an issue worse, so the safe way to go is to hire a certified electrician from the start.
Can I reset my own circuit breaker?
Absolutely. All you need to do is locate your breaker box and look for any switches that are out of place. Simply flip those switches back where they belong.
Is a generator a smart idea for my home?
A generator can be a fantastic addition to your home if you want to have a backup power source during an outage or don’t want to rely on a fickle power grid. We offer whole-house generators and backup generator hookups.
What are signs I need electrical repairs?
Flickering lights, warm and discolored outlets, burning smells, buzzing sounds, and frequent circuit breaker trips are all common signs that it’s time to call an electrician for repairs.
