Hiring an Electrician for Your Home

Do not skimp on electrical work.  It is critical that you employ a professional, qualified electrician knowledgeable with the type of residential work you need to be performed.  

Electrical problems happen, such a re-wiring an entire house only to find things don't work properly.    Do not compound them by hiring an unlicensed, unqualified, and/or unprofessional electrician in Dayton, OH.  Home electric can be complex so make sure your electrician is qualified and experience to perform the job right the first time.   You can avoid further headaches beyond your home electrical issues by following the guidelines here when looking for a Dayton area electrician.  

Qualifications for Electricians

Given the qualification levels and certifications for electricians, finding one is easier than finding a good plumber or carpenter.  With a state license, you can be assured of some level of competency, however, there are two additional qualifications you should be mindful of:

• Master Electrician - is an electrician that has passed a standardized test and has two full years of experience.  You can then be assured he/she understands the National Electrical Code and any tweaks the state of Ohio has made.  Further, a master electrician is fully qualified to plan, design, install, and maintain any electrical systems for your home or business.  
• Journeyman Electrician - is an electrician that has not met the requirements for a master's license, but he/she is, in fact, licensed to in the State of Ohio.  By state law, he/she cannot design electrical systems but can install equipment and wiring as part of a design provided.  

In either case - Master or Journeyman - most states have electrical codes that require a state inspector to inspect and sign-off on any electrical work performed to ensure it meet Ohio code.
