While Pinterest and YouTube seem to make any home improvement project look like it can be handled the do-it-yourself way, there are still some projects that are better left to the professionals. For example, anything involving electricity should be given to a certified electrician for safety reasons. Luckily for Old Lyme, CT, residents, Zelek Electric is here to help.

The professionals at Zelek Electric recommend calling an electrician for any of the following:

• Electrical Panel Work: If you recently bought some new appliances or find yourself having to reset your circuit breaker too often, it could be time for an upgrade. Circuit breakers a major component of your electrical system and are complicated to install and repair. Don’t attempt to work with yours on your own: Call an electrician and make sure the job gets done the right way.
• Adding Outlets: While adding an extra outlet or two to your home may seem like an easy enough task, it can actually get quite intense. From cutting into the wall and replacing wires to adhering to electrical codes, an electrician will be able to install extra outlets for you quickly and safely.
• Installing New Outdoor Lights: Again, adding a new light fixture above the garage or along the driveway can seem like a piece of cake. But only a certified electrician will be able to safely install the new wiring and make sure everything is properly grounded to avoid the risk of electrocution.
