Why hire a licensed electrician?
Safety first! When it comes to your electrical needs, it’s dangerous NOT to hire a licensed electrician. With the advent of online advertising it’s easier now than ever to hire an electrician – but you need to do your homework and make sure you hire an electrician who has a license to practice this highly skilled trade.

Unlicensed electricians may lack the skills to do the job correctly and therefore put people at risk. Hiring a licensed electrician will give you peace of mind as well as electrical work that stands the test of time.

When working on an existing property, the licensed electrician at Kollman Electric has the expertise to understand the issues with your wires, plugs, circuits and switches. He can ensure that all work is done safely, and that all wires, extensions and switches are repaired correctly.

In most cities, those with larger electrical projects are required to hire a licensed electrician. And for insurance reasons, you’ll definitely want to hire a licensed electrician. Otherwise, any issues that occur with your electrical work may cause you problems with your homeowner’s insurance. Your claim may hit a snag if it turns out the fire was caused by shoddy electrical work done by an unlicensed electrician.

If you hire an unlicensed electrician you will likely have to eventually pay to have the work done all over again as it will not be done adequately or to code.
