DO-IT-YOURSELF REPAIRS VIA YOUTUBE, BLOG VS CALL A PROFESSIONAL TECHNICIAN?
Nowadays, with internet access around the glob and with billions of videos and blogs from professional technician, people can find online everything from video how to cook a soup to blog about how to fix the appliance.
It seems like it is unbelievable that every single person that has access to the internet can find any information from professional technician he needs. In the past you needed to visit libraries if it is available in your area, some poor countries still do not have even that, or other option was you could ask the older most experience person for an advise and in most of the times it would be a wise advice but not necessary the accurate one.
The world became global and it made our lives spin faster and faster. If you are handy and have all the tools you can make a bed from the scratch, or install a new outlet, or build a new TV box etc. You just need to go on Google, or YouTube and type the right request and all the blogs and videos pop up and by following their instructions you can do all the things you want. For example, if you would go on YouTube and type in search: “How to build TV Box Cabinet to hide routers?” or if you type there: “How To Hide Your TV Wires by installing wall plate with duplex receptacle?” The search on YouTube would show millions of videos for your request. In our case, on both requests it shows YouTube channel #TervaD It seems this channel makes DYI-projects and some random videos. When you search on your subject try to be specific as you can be, it will help to narrow the search to the most relevant videos, if the search would come out with no result that you can cut off on some search terms or you can change the key words for the search. If you won’t be specific, the search can show millions of random stuffs that maybe not even relate to your request or slightly relate.
With DO-IT-YOURSELF instead professional technician projects, handcrafts or cooking, you are not afraid that if something would go wrong that you can lose money, for example if you are cooking a soup and you would follow the video instruction and at the end the soup turns out bad, the most what you would loose a few hours of your time and probably $20-$30 from your pocket on ingredients. With Do-it-yourself projects, it can be more expensive but still probably $100-$200 unless if you build a house or something that would cost a lot of money on materials and tools. Besides, wasting your money and time, it seems to be easy repairs can be also dangerous and hazard.
Many people try to save money on all house repairs, if it is a small project like hang the frame on the wall or put some trims back on the place, go ahead and do it and save money but if it would require some special skills and tools than think twice about it. For example: you know the exact problem with your appliance, then you can try to search on Google or YouTube, “How to repair appliances?” or “How to fix my dryer that is not heating?” (include model number in the search) Google search would show different types of articles, websites, blogs that have a content that related to your search terms and this can guide you to the appropriate channel from online that can help you get some tips and demonstration on “How to repair appliances” quickly and appropriately. Before any repairs, ensure that you check if the appliance is not covered by any service agreement or manufacturer’s warranty.
Lastly and most importantly, please do not attempt to fix the appliance if you think you can’t complete a repair because you could cause even more damage to appliance that would cost you more money and time in the long run.
