I was told that when the two of us wanted to put outdoor lighting on the patio plus our backyard; the two of us needed to hire a licensed electrician.
I looked at the supplier plus told him I thought all electricians were licensed, but he explained that if the electrician works for a contracting dealer; they are licensed, but there were some independent electricians who weren’t licensed, however without the license, they easily aren’t bonded plus there could be a lot of mistakes that would be our responsibility to repair or sue the electrician, then once I asked him to give us the name of a licensed electrician, I should have known he would suggest that worked for his dealer.
I wasn’t being rude, but I wanted several licensed electricians that would give me a quote for the task that needed done. The supplier gave me the name of several licensed electricians who specialized in outdoor lighting. It surprised me when all several quotes were close in price, then my partner plus I chose the first name that was on the list, plus he was also the 1 who worked for our supplier. I liked the man, plus he was a professional. He showed us his license to prove he was a licensed electrician, plus he showed us proof that he was bonded! Neither of the other two even hinted that they were licensed or bonded. When the outdoor lighting was completed, it was nicer than the two of us had imagined. The patio looked enjoy a faerie garden, plus there were lights along the walkway. I didn’t imagine it was going to be this good when I came up with the idea.
