Find out what the 5 most commonly asked electrical questions are.

Licensed Electrician Vs. Handyman

While both licensed electricians and handymen can offer a great deal of help when it comes to renovating your home, it is important to know the difference between the two and what jobs they are best suited for.

Licensed Electrician

A licensed electrician is a trained professional who can complete complex and otherwise dangerous electrical projects, meeting both building and electrical codes. While hiring a licensed electrician might cost more than hiring a handyman, licensed electricians offer a level of efficiency and professionalism that will help complete your project much faster than any other solution. Licensed electricians are also bonded and insured, which means that you can rest assured, knowing that your property and safety are completely protected during the duration of your project.

What should you look for when choosing an electrician for your project?

Handyman

A handyman is an affordable solution to DIY labour, but should only be relied upon for minor renovations and repair services, such as replacing an outlet or upgrading a lighting system. Since hiring a handyman is a personal service, most handymen will not have any permitting or formal training, which means that all accidents or damage caused during your home improvement will be your responsibility.
