State and local licensing requirements are put in place to ensure electricians and other contractors have the necessary training and experience to provide safe, reliable service. If you skirt those protections by hiring an unlicensed electrical contractor, you put yourself at risk, both financially and otherwise. Below are some of the key reasons to hire only properly licensed electricians.
3 Important Reasons to Hire a Licensed Electrician
1. Safety
State, local, and national safety codes govern standards of safe installation, maintenance, and operation of electrical systems. A licensed electrician is trained to follow these codes to the letter and does so as a matter of practice—to protect their license. A contractor with no license at risk may not follow these codes and may instead take shortcuts that save time but put the system at risk. Improper wiring can lead to house fires, electrical shock, or even electrocution.
2. Quality
When you hire a licensed electrician, you work with someone who's spent considerable time training and working under a master. They have the background and experience to provide quality work. This is not the case if you hire a general handyman or jack-of-all-trades.
3. Time & Money
If you hire someone unqualified or attempt electrical repairs yourself, you could end up simply making the problem worse. Then you face the inconvenience of hiring someone else to redo the work. You could even be liable for any injuries incurred if something were to go wrong. To avoid wasting time and money, hire a licensed electrician who will get the job done right the first time.
