Frequently Asked Questions

Will my insurance cover bad electrical work?

If a fire is caused by work that was unauthorized and uninspected, your insurance coverage may be voided. Only a Certificate of Acceptance from the ESA guarantees that your work was done to Code—a document only we can provide to keep your policy valid. Read the full ESA article: Thing to know when hiring a Licensed electrician.

Do I need a permit for any electrical work?

We handle the permits and paperwork. One of the biggest warning signs of an unlicensed contractor is asking the homeowner to file the permit. By law, the person doing the work must file the “Notification of Work” with the ESA. We handle the entire bureaucracy—filing the notification and paying the fees—so you have peace of mind knowing the “paper trail” is legal and accurate. Here is what you should know about: municipal electrical permit.

We never consider a job closed until the Certificate of Acceptance is in your hands. This official document from the ESA acts as the “final receipt” for your project, proving to insurance adjusters and future real estate buyers that your electrical upgrades are safe and code-compliant. Only a Licensed Electrical Contractor can provide this guarantee. Read the: ESA Certificate of Acceptance for Electrical work.

Testimonials

“Not only did this absolutely brilliant electrician pick up my call on a Friday evening of a long weekend, but with one photo, he was able to walk me through a complicated ceiling fan wiring issue and I was able to get the fan working in no time. He was patient and courteous and knew exactly what the issue was without batting an eye. A simple issue for him was a massive help for me, and now my brother has a fan in my guest room for when he visits!! Thank you so much, I will be sending you referrals and using your services again!!”
