While it isn’t difficult to find tutorials on social media, and you may feel capable of attempting it yourself, hiring a licensed electrician is a much better idea.
Those live wires can cause serious injury. While you may think there is no power running through them, few people other than a licensed electrician will know for certain. You also don’t know what else is on that circuit. An electrician has the training to ensure the power to the outlet is cut, knows how to fix it and wears protective equipment just in case. When you hire an electrician, you’ll know that the issue has been properly resolved, and eliminate the chance of seriously injuring yourself.
It’s fun to be handy and to repair things around your home yourself, but the general rule of thumb is to leave electrical tasks to the professionals, the risks are just too great.
