NICEIC Urges people not to do electrical work they're not qualified for!
Of course, at this time we are all at home, some are wary of letting professionals in their home but this doesn't mean that you should take up your hand at DIY. Especially when it comes to electrical work which can be dangerous for somebody with little knowledge. Go ahead and paint the conservatory what better time to make some changes around the home but when it comes to electrical issues you shouldn't take on those task for the safety of your family and yourself. As a large number of people look to work on their homes during the lockdown period, the National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting (NICEIC) has advised people to steer clear of any electrical work they're not qualified for...Every year around 12,500 house fires, 750 serious injuries and 10 deaths are caused by unsafe electrics in the home.
