Ask these questions before you hire someone
Simply Ask the following Questions
1.Are You A Licensed Electrician ?
the Answer will probably be Yes whether they are or not!!!!
2.Ask what is their Master Electrician License Number and State that you need to Verify It.
This is when you might start seeing Sweat about the Brow or hesitation or an evasive answer.
Then you know that the individual is not working under a Master License, and therefore may not
be able to pull any necessary permits unless he has someone pull them for him.
3.This is not to say that this person is not an electrician. Look at the electrician classifications.
