Homeowner Electrical Wiring
Question: We have a house on the market and the copper pipes and wiring have been stolen (the house is vacant). My husband wants to redo the wiring himself. We replaced most of it ourselves while we were living in it. Now that it’s empty and on the market, is it legal in Maine to do our own electrical?
This electrical question came from: Wendy, a Homeowner from Hiram, Maine.
