Federal Pacific Electrical Box

[Michael Sontheimer]

Hi everyone. I have a question regarding changing out a Federal Pacific Electrical Box. I have a handy man that is NOT a licensed electrician that has changed many boxes, is capable and will charge me much less than an electrician. However, I am concerned about potential legal issues down the road. What happens if there is a problem/fire heaven forbid caused by the electrical work. Would an insurance company deny a claim if I cannot show that it was installed by a licensed pro? I would love to save some money on the installation but not at risk of total loss of property in the event of a problem.

I appreciate your comments!
