The examples mentioned above are just a small sampling of DIY wiring mistakes, some too dangerous to risk making. There is huge range of errors that can be made along the way. If you haven't been trained as an electrician, do not attempt these tasks yourself. It's not worth the risk. It's such an important point, we'll need to repeat it: don’t take the chance and try to do it yourself. You’ll need to call a licensed electrician to perform the electrical wiring in a proper and safe manner. This also goes for other types of wiring tasks, whether you’re looking for help with hot tub installation, appliance installation, ceiling fan installation, phone or internet cable wiring, or smart home installation, standby generator wiring among many others. In fact, the vast majority of these installs require a professional who has done this for many years, not someone who's referred to instructional YouTube videos or other similar resources.
- Reversing hot and neutral wires: We’re all human and we make mistakes, but if you’re not a certified electrician, you’re more likely to make these errors, some which may be fatal. If you accidentally connect a hot wire to a neutral terminal in an outlet, you can experience a potentially deadly shock. Another inherent danger is that there are no signs that an error has been made until the electric shock occurs as the electrical system may work as normal. And that's one of the most dangerous things - when something threatening is not readily apparent.
