Would you hire an unlicensed electrician to wire your house?
- TingPing 5y agoA degree is not a license and brings with it no safety regulations...
- pjmlp 5y agoDepends on the country, https://www.ordemengenheiros.pt/en/about-us/ https://www.ordemengenheiros.pt/en/about-us/
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoI have hired someone to work on my home's electrical who did not have a license. A lot of people let unlicensed tradesmen, family members, or themselves do work on their home. Frankly, like programming, most of it isn't really that hard.
- fernandotakai 5y agothe dude that does all the electrical stuff at my apartment does not have a license at all. but he does have almost 30y of experience. i would take the experience of the license.
- randcraw 5y agoNo I would not. Home electrical wiring is becoming increasingly complex today, with the rise of whole-house surge suppressors, backup generators, solar panels, and sensitive expensive electronics everywhere. Assuming that half of the US houses were built before 1980 (when electrics were still primitive and wiring was sometimes aluminum), fitting modern services into a home with knob and tube wiring and floating grounds (like mine) is NOT something I want to trust to a jackleg, no matter how many years of experience he has.
