I'll add that hiring someone that goes by the title "electrician" does not guarantee quality of work. Many US states have no licensing requirements although they recommend it. So, in many areas anybody can do electrical work for hire with no proof of expertise and/or experience.
I kind of got a laugh over this statement from a New York Dept. of Labor document -
"The fact that most of the residential electrical work isn't very technically difficult, means that the field is flooded by non-licensed handymen doing the work. This is another factor that contributes to the lower profit margins in the residential electrical sector"
Here are the regs in a few states I'm familiar with:
NY Licensing No state licensing of contractors or journeymen. Some local government entities license electrical contractors. Separate or additional permits may be required to perform the electrical work.
PA Licensing The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has no requirements related to the registration, certification or licensure of contractors (or their employees) that are engaged in the construction industry.
Florida Licensing All electrical contractors must be registered with the state unless they are certified. Registration permits the contractor to engage in contracting only in a particular area or municipality. No state level examination is required for registration. Licenses may be issued by registration or certification. Registration: The applicant has taken and passed a local competency examination and can practice only within that locale.
OHIO Licensing No localities require any restriction other than registration from practicing electrical contracting in that locality.
