Here on the BRIGHTLIFE ELECTRIC BLOG, you will find helpful advice when considering who to hire for your electrical work or when to try to do it yourself. We understand that hiring a professional, licensed electrician might now fit your timeline or your budget, but here you can find tasks that should always have a licensed electrician on-site or, things to watch out for if you try otherwise. We believe in educating our clients first so that they can make informed decisions on their homes and projects. Check back often, as we try to update this regularly and add new tasks whenever we can. Please be advised, we never recommend someone inexperienced to work on their own electrical system in any way.
