Electrical work looks simple until something goes wrong. Loose connections, undersized wire and missing protection are common causes of fires and shocks.
A licensed electrician follows code, pulls permits when required, and tests the work. That documentation can matter when you sell your home or file an insurance claim.

What can go wrong with DIY or unlicensed work
- Wire that is too small for the load can overheat inside a wall
- Loose connections can arc, which is a common cause of electrical fires
- Missing GFCI or AFCI protection leaves shock and fire risks unchecked
- Unpermitted work can cause problems with insurance or when you sell
How to check a license
