Cheap electrical cables, fake breakers, and low-quality sockets don’t just spoil — they burn, shock, and cause fires. Many houses that “mysteriously” burnt down didn’t burn from witchcraft; they burnt from bad wiring and fake electrical materials. Insist on: copper cables, correct gauge branded breakers and RCDs proper earthing original sockets and switches Electrical materials must never be bought only because they are cheap or fine-looking. Even if you must save money somewhere, don’t save it on wiring and breakers. You can change a chandelier later — but rewiring after plastering is expensive and messy. Safety first, decoration later. ![etienne-girardet-sgYamIzhAhg-unsplash-1](https://renovation-reviews.storage.googleapis.com/original/2X/3/3bfcb0d7bce617cdb548ca9b5cc542757ddbb22d.jpeg) ---
