It also isn't hard to find an electrician that will come sign off on self done home wiring work to satisfy the regulators. To me that is a sign of overregulation. Electricians concede that non-electricians are capable enough to do their own work but the law requires somebody with a license to sign off on it.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoIt is not about being capable enough to do the work, it is about having enough reputation and liability insurance to be liable for damages resulting from faulty work. The city government most certainly does not want to shoulder most of it via their inspectors, so they share it with “licensed” electricians who have to put their assets, or the insurance company’s assets, on the line.
