QUALIFIED INDIVIDUAL
Installing, changing, or repairing electrical wiring should be done by a qualified individual, according to local and national electrical codes as adopted in your specific area. A permit and inspections may also be required. Contact your local building authority for specific information as it pertains to your area

National Electrical Codes, local building requirements and planning commission regulations specific to your area must always be held in compliance and considered before undertaking any home electrical project. Contact your local electrical authority and your insurance company to ensure that your project meets all policies, warranties, regulations and authorities concerning this work. Insurance companies and their agents and carriers should be contacted for compliance issues relating to your policy.
When adding new electrical circuits and devices to your home electrical system you will need to obtain a permit from your local city or county building department or the equivalent authority having jurisdiction in your area. In most areas the homeowner is allowed to work on their home electrical system. Check with your local authority to verify the limits of homeowner allowed work. Some areas may limit the homeowner to work on branch circuits only and not the main electrical service or panels or meters. Some areas issue permits that will allow the homeowner to build their entire home. Check with your local authority to verify your allowed level of work.

The utility or company which provides electrical power to your home electrical system commonly assumes responsibility to the point of your electrical meter. In the event that your electrical system has a failure that involves any portion of the utility side of the electrical service requires that the utility company be notified immediately for assistance. Do not attempt the repair of any abnormalities until the utility company has been on site to inspect the situation. They will then advise you of the necessary repairs needed to take place.
