Common Electrical Mistakes Homeowners Make

Many electrical problems start with small mistakes that seem harmless at first.


Some of the most common electrical mistakes we see in Oregon City and Portland homes include:

  1. Overloading outlets and circuits
  2. Using extension cords as permanent wiring
  3. Installing the wrong breaker size
  4. Attempting DIY electrical repairs without proper training

    These mistakes can damage your electrical system and increase the risk of electrical fires. When in
    doubt, it’s always best to call Boz Electric (503) 896-1522.
