Many homeowners and businesses try to cut costs by hiring unlicensed electricians, but this can lead to serious safety risks and code violations.

Code Compliance Issues – Unlicensed work often fails inspections, leading to expensive rework and legal issues when selling a property.

Fire & Shock Hazards – Faulty electrical work can lead to electrical fires, power surges, or electrocution.

No Insurance Protection – If an unlicensed electrician causes damage, your insurance may not cover it.

No Permit Approval – Many towns require electrical permits for major work. Unlicensed electricians cannot pull permits, leaving you with unapproved work.

Benefits of Hiring a Licensed Electrician

✔ Expert Knowledge – Licensed electricians follow National Electrical Code (NEC) guidelines.
✔ Proper Permits & Inspections – Ensures work is legally approved and passes safety inspections.
✔ Guaranteed Safety – Licensed professionals install wiring that is up to code and safe.
✔ Work is Insured – If something goes wrong, liability coverage protects your home or business.

Pro Tip: Always ask for proof of licensing and insurance before hiring an electrician!
