This is why my statement is always:
Electrical issues should be repaired by a licensed and certified electrical contractor. A journeyman electrician is always best practice and can be asked for at time of booking.
All bases are covered this way.

A licensed electrical contractor can only operate with certified electricians so there is no need for *and certified* in your above statement.

Why is a journeyman best practice? Journeyman electrician should always be working under supervision from a certified electrician (by law) and a certified electrician should always be working under a licensed electrical contrator(by law).

Everything is covered by stating: *licensed electrical contractor*.
