Repairs made by a LICENCED electrician

[William J. Decker]

[quote=tdietrich1I tried to go into electrical work myself, I got passed over by many customers. I would followup and ask why and I had a few say I was trying to ripp them off. Since I had in detailed estimates, cost for a permit, and the OTHER electricians said permits weren't required. I told them a quick call to the inspection devision of their local government, andy they will give you the answer. Then I asked if the OTHER electricians put license numbers, or give proof of insurance, and I would get hung up on.

People will pay the least amount of money, even if it kills them.

And then, these same people find out, when the work is crap, that they really have no legal recourse. Sure, they can sue the guy who did the work, but if he has no insurance, they won't get anything.

Then they get the idea to sue the government agency to "licensed" them, but this doesn't work.

Then they get cynical and believe that all electricians and government officials are corrupt and theives.

And the circle of life continues.
