The power installation dilemma

(March 15, 2012) -- Many electrical products are channeled to the end user in one of two primary ways. It is either sold to and installed by the manufacturer, or sold to a retailer where an end user (or service center) purchases it for aftermarket installation. There are also power enthusiasts who dare to install themselves. There are pros and cons to each option, so how to choose? By all means, please totally avoid self-installations unless you are skilled and knowledgeable about the requirements for performing these specific types of installations.
