All other electrical work must be done by a licensed Electrical Contractor. Electrical Contractors are required to secure their own permit.

Permits can range from $150 – $600 for most installations. We will give you an exact permit cost once we review your project.

Electrical circuits typically don’t just stop working. without any known events or causes. The first thing to do before calling an electrician is to check and reset all your GFCI outlets. This is the most common cause of a circuit to stop functioning. We also recommend checking the breakers. However breakers typically will not trip without cause either. If it is either of these problems, reset the GFCI or tripped breaker to attempt to resolve the issue. If the breaker or GFCI continues to trip, then you have a problem that will require an electrician.
