Electrical installations are the most regulated part of any and all processesin the construction industry. The reason is simple. If not done correctly you can have shocks, electrocution hazards, fire, and property hazards and the resulting loss of life. The national fire protection association produces the "code" or national electrical code, about every three years.

The constant renewal of this 700 plus page document is necessary due to everchanging technologies and the new equipment that is constantly being
manufactured, and the resulting safety concerns in utilizing this new
equipment. Having an unlicensed person do electrical work is not only illegal,it is extremely dangerous.

Ask yourself, would you: have a Ferrier (horse shoe guy) put brakes on the
family car? Ask a Podiatrist (foot doctor) to perform a face lift on you? Ask the produce guy at the grocery store to fly a jumbo jet with you and your family on it, to save a few bucks on your vacation? Then why would you let anyone other than a licensed electrician, do any electrical work on your home or office? It's your property, it's you and your loved ones lives, get a professional.
