You have the plans drawn, the builder chosen, and the plumbers providing quotes. What’s missing? The answer: you still need a licensed electrical contractor. Osterwisch Company, the most experienced electrical wiring specialists in Cincinnati, OH, explains the important role of an electrical contractor in your home remodel.

What Is an Electrical Contractor’s Role in Your Remodel?

Permitting

To perform electrical work, you need to pull the proper state, county, and municipal permits; in most jurisdictions, only a licensed contractor can do that. It is important that all the necessary permits are issued since you might have to prove it during the sale of the property.

Installation

Electrical contractors are responsible for the installation of all new electrical wiring, fixtures, and switches required by the remodel. They must then tie the new circuits into your existing system, often by adding breakers to your existing box.

Liability

A reputable electrical contractor should take responsibility for all damages or injuries that occur due to their actions and remove liability from your shoulders. To this end, it is crucial that the electrician you hire carries liability insurance.

Contractual Guarantee

Electrical contractors should provide a contractual guarantee that they will complete the work assigned them. To make sure the project gets done, even if the electrician you hire is unable to complete it, the company you hire should carry a surety bond that will compensate you or pay for a third party to finish the job.
