1. Safety 

Electricians are professionals which means that they know exactly which safety precautions that need to be taken when working with electrical outlets and switches. Electricians will also perform the necessary safety checks before working with the outlet as well as after they have completed working with the outlet. These two checks are very important to make sure that the outlet will be safe to use. 

However, if you had to replace or move an electrical outlet in your home by yourself you might not be aware of all the safety precautions that are required. Which can result in damaged wires that can even cause electrical fires in your home.

2. Understanding of the breaker

If you are relocating your electrical outlet or adding a new electrical outlet working with the circuit breaker will be essential. This is what supplies the power to the electrical outlet. An electrician will know exactly how to work with the circuit breaker as well as which circuit breakers will be best suited to a certain outlet. 

Circuit breakers are essential for almost any type of outlet in a home because they protect electrical circuits. In the event of there being an overflow of electricity if there is a short circuit, the circuit breaker will interrupt the flow and ensure the electric circuit does not get damaged.
