The safest way to do DIY electrics is not to do DIY electrics logo on a red background

Thank you for visiting our campaign page. This is the place to come throughout the month for updates and to find out how you can get involved. 

About the campaign 


Electrical work can be dangerous if not done properly, yet many homeowners are still unaware of the importance of using a qualified, registered electrician.   

Every year, hundreds of people are affected by the consequences of electrical works done by unqualified professionals.  

That's why, back in September we launched our campaign to raise awareness among those looking to undertake domestic electrical work on the importance of only using NICEIC -certified businesses.  

We’ve been busy showing a variety of adverts on Youtube, Google, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and a range of other websites which direct consumers to our “Find a trusted tradesperson” search tool.   

And so far, we’ve had some great results, with our adverts being seen over 20.3 million times online across all our digital channels, over 1 million views of our "How To" videos, and over 317,000 householders having successfully found a tradesperson on our website. 

We’re not stopping here though. We’ll continue to spread the word in innovative new ways, so watch this space for more details coming very soon. 

You can see our campaign video by tuning in to our YouTube.
