You'll likely pay a fair amount for their time. But learn from them while they're working for you.

They're paid what they are for a reason. Seriously.

I fully intend to get it fixed properly by a professional.

We need a professional to fix it. Mañana.

Currently running on a gruesome chain of extension cords plugged into a socket on the house power supply.

Here's hoping you don't overtax the circuit you're using as a workaround...

The "takes the entire estate down with it" sounds especially worrying. Usually when a circuit breaker trips it only cuts power to the circuit it's governing.

Yes, I'd say a trained professional is the way to go.

Good luck!
