You’re in a bind. You need an electrician, but there isn’t one available. Now what? You could try to put it off until you find somebody, but if your wiring is as old as mine, then it’s probably too late for that. If you’re reading this, I’m assuming you’re looking for good local electricians in Zephyrhills because you’ve either experienced a problem with your wiring or are installing something into your house that will require electrical wiring. We’ll start at the beginning.
The first thing to do is ensure your electricity supply is up-to-date. This will help eliminate many problems down the road and ensure the safety of everything related to electricity in your home. If you have an electrician, tell them before they go ahead with any work to ensure that their supply is current and working well. (I’ll give you a hint on how to check about electric security later. It’s not as tricky as you might think.)
You should also ask the electrician if you can have a certified circuit tester for your house so he can check for any weak spots in your household’s wiring as a potential problem area. These testers are available from most electrical supply houses and work like this: You plug them into the outlet where the main wiring enters your home, then watch to see if they trip any breakers inside. It’s important to have certified testers if there is something wrong with the main electrical box feeding the house. It’s also a good idea to have one in your car, so you will know if there is any loose wiring or a problem in the car.
If electricians out there have never heard of a certified circuit tester, now would be a good time to share this information with them. They can then be of excellent service to you in their work. I personally recommend (but don’t insist on) having it installed in all five accessible outlets before they start any wiring.
In conclusion, you will save time, money, and possibly your life if you follow these simple rules.
