Do-it-Yourself (DIY) ElectricalDIY electrical projects are a great
way to cut costs on home remodeling and repair, but always be certain
to take the proper safety precautions before attempting any electrical
work. Know where your circuit breakers are located, what sections of
your house they operate, and always turn off power to the section in
which you will be working.
Electrical SafetyThe first rule of safety when
attempting any electrical project is to shut off power to the area in
which you are working. Study your specific wiring diagrams, and don't
ever take for granted that same-colored wires always attach to each
other; it is not always the case. And be sure to use the same size
wire/cable to continue a circuit; 14 gauge wires are generally the
smallest permitted for home wiring.
Electrical ToolsBasic handyman's credos state, The
right tool for the right job, and Work smarter, not harder. Electric
tools, also referred to as power tools, are essential for faster, more
efficient home repair and maintenance. A good multi-purpose electric
drill and saw are the basic power tools one should have as part of their
home tool set for general use and simple household projects.
Energy SavingGoing green at home can be as
simple as literally changing a light bulb, by switching to energy
efficient bulbs, and will not only save energy, but save you money as
well. More involved measures, such as installing solar paneling or
Energy Star heating and plumbing, can also both improve your household's
energy efficiency, while saving money in the long run.
Home Electrical ContractorsTo become a certified electrical
contractor, electricians must have been working for a number of years in
the profession (usually as an Apprentice or Journeyman) and have passed
a written exam in their state. Electricians must have a license to
represent themselves as contractors, though not all working electricians
need to be licensed, and are often working as apprentices or
journeymen. Always make sure your contractor has proper certification
for your area.
Home LightingUpdating home lighting is an easy
way to create dramatic improvements in home decor, appearance and feel.
Often changing light fixtures is an easy installation, though your new
hardware may not fit the existing hardware. Check the specs on your
previous fixture for proper fit, and if the new fixture is heavy, make
sure to attach it to an area that can support the weight, such as a
ceiling joint or wall stud.
Wiring DiagramsWhen starting any home electrical
project, always thoroughly study the wiring diagram for your specific
installation/repair. Wires are colored to prevent wiring errors, but
don't assume that same colored wires always connect to each other. White
wires almost always go with white wires, but there are exceptions.
