DIY (do it yourself) electrical work is dangerous and illegal.

You may think you can save money by installing an electrical appliance yourself.
But, doing electrical work yourself can:

• put you, your household or tenants at risk of injury or death
• result in your property being destroyed by fire if the work is faulty
• void your insurance policy.

Unless you are a qualified electrician you should never attempt to:

• wire any part of your property
• install, replace or move power points
• install, replace or move lights and switches
• install or replace ceiling fans
• carry out any electrical maintenance other than changing a light globe.
