Reasons You Need To Hire An Electrician When Renovating Your Home

Trying to save a few dollars by doing it yourself is just not worth the risk. DIY remodelling is taking hold of not only the internet but the renovation world as well. With so much information out there telling you to do things on your own, you may be tempted to take on more than you’re qualified to handle. However, DIY electrical work is illegal in Queensland. Not only it's dangerous, but you can also jeopardise your insurance!

New Wiring Installations

From upgrading old copper wires to installing new wires for additional lighting, automation technology, underfloor heating and home theatre systems, an electrician will stay up to date with local compliance codes so that your wiring is safe for years to come.

Electrical Panel Installations and Upgrades

If you plan on installing new appliances like dryers, spa baths and dishwashers as part of your renovation, electrical panels may need to be installed or upgraded to ensure that your home is powered up to handle additional electricity in your home.

New Appliance Installations

A common feature during home renovations is the installation of new and modern appliances like dishwashers, dryers, televisions, security systems and home automation. For these types of jobs that require wiring to power the appliance, you will require an electrician.

Light Fixture Installation

When you’re upgrading a room in your house, you have to take lighting into consideration for the new design. Changing up your light fixtures can transform the feeling of the entire space. While choosing the right light fixture can be done on your own, installing it should be left to the experts. An experienced electrician can easily deal with the wiring that hooks up to the light fixture and not make a costly mistake as you could.

Ceiling Fan Installation

Much like light fixtures, the wiring behind ceiling fans is complicated. The way it's wired is probably different from other houses since wiring standards are always changing. Electricians are educated in how houses were and are wired. They know what each wire does, which is why you should call them if you’re planning on installing a new ceiling fan.

Security Alarms And CCTV Installation

Your electrician does much more than just wiring and sockets—they’re also a crucial part of your home security team! Comfort and functionality aren’t the only things to consider during renovation. You’ll also want to think about security, and how you can protect your home and property. On top of regular electrical work and installation, Allyn White Electrical protects your home by performing home security and CCTV installations, as well as smoke alarms and gas detectors.
