What electrical work can I do without calling in a licensed elect
I’m curious where the cut off is. I’m pretty confident I can change a lightbulb on a rental property without calling a licensed electrician. At the same time I’m also quite sure that I cannot rewire and electric panel in a rental property without having it done by a licensed electrician.
So where is the cut off? Do I need a licensed electrician to repair a light fixture. To replace a light fixture. To replace a switch or to replace an outlet.
Looking forward to your input
