Why Hire a Licensed Electrician?

Hiring a licensed electrician shouldn't just be saved for electrical emergencies. Hiring a licensed electrician is a wise choice even for more mundane electrical work, such as installing a new ceiling fan or adding landscape lighting, Hiring a licensed electrician is a better, safer bet than hiring a handyman or even performing the work yourself. Here are some of the reasons why:

When you want it to be safe and up to code

Saving money is a great thing, and thriftiness is admirable. But in the case of DIY electrical work (or having that handy friend do it), there can be problems. For example, adding a ceiling fan to your home requires a permit. Outdoor lighting has to be able to withstand rain and sprinkler water without shorting out.

Responsibility

Electricians take responsibility for problems since a licensed electrician carries insurance to cover accidents, mishaps, and common mistakes. You, as the homeowner, should not be subject to the errors of your repair person. If an event occurs during or following a repair done by a handyman, you, the homeowner, are liable for the mishap--injuries, lawsuits for lost wages, etc.

When an electrician works on your property, you can be confident that, in the event of a problem, it will be covered. The reason is that a licensed electrician can't get a license unless he passes the licensing exam. We have a stake in the game since our license, reputation, and our livelihood is riding on excellent work faithfully performed without a problem every single time.
