Whom can you hire for residential electrical installation?

Hire a licensed and insured electrician for residential electric installation. The Better Business Bureau and Angie's List are both excellent ways to find a qualified professional.

While some areas may allow unlicensed individuals to perform electrical work, it is advisable to leave this type of work to a professional due to the dangers involved. Some contractors have licensed electricians on staff so a separate firm does not need to be hired. Major work such as line pole and transformer installation may need to be done by the local electricity company rather than a private contractor. Residential customers should contact their local power companies to find out what is required for electric service to be installed.
