FAQ

When is it time to call an electrician?

No one wants to call in a professional if they don't have to. Many home and business owners might think their electrical issues are no big deal. They may think they can get by just ignoring the problem and hoping it will sort itself out, or by taking matters into their own hands.

But ignoring a problem or resorting to DIY electrical fixes can turn into a disaster. No matter how small the issue, amateur repairs won't meet safety standards and could turn into more serious problems down the line.

So, when should you call an electrician? That's an easy one: whenever you have an electrical problem in the Joppa, Fallston, Bel Air or Perry Hall, MD area. Contact Shawn's Electric at the first sign of trouble so we can provide the prompt repairs you need.

Is there any electrical work I can do myself?

Our electricians are highly-trained professionals who can guarantee a safe solution. It's not worth the risk when a qualified electrician from Shawn's Electric is only a phone call away in the Joppa, Fallston, Bel Air or Perry Hall, MD area.
