Permits

Permits and inspections

Not every job requires a permit. When the local AHJ requires one, we pull it, schedule the inspection, and stay with the job until it passes. No paperwork on you.

Warranty

What's covered

Written warranty: 5-year on outlets, fixtures, and EV chargers; 10-year on wire and breakers; lifetime on panelboxes and surge protection. Parts and labor. Transfers with the home.

05 - WHO TO HIRE

Why hiring a licensed electrician matters.

For emergency electrical services, here's the honest comparison. We'd tell you the same thing if we weren't trying to win the job.

Keil Electric

A licensed electrician

Licensed electrician walks every job. Veteran-owned, family-run.

Permits pulled and inspections coordinated when required by the AHJ

5/10-year + lifetime warranty in writing. Parts and labor. Transfers with the home.

Fully insured + workers' comp on every crew

The price you sign is the price you pay

A handyman

Unlicensed for electrical

No state electrical license. Can do simple swaps but not panel work, rewires, or service upgrades.

No permits. Work won't pass inspection if the city audits it later.

No structured warranty. "Call me if something breaks" isn't enforceable.

If something they did causes a fire, your homeowner's insurance can deny the claim.

Cash discount may show up on the invoice.

DIY

Doing it yourself

Cheap, but only if everything goes right. Most electrical work involves load calc, code, and permitting.

A failed inspection means redoing the work. Selling the home later, the buyer's inspector flags it.

No warranty if something fails. Replacement is on you.

Live wiring is a real safety hazard. Most fatal home electrical accidents are DIY.

If you know what you're doing, fine. If you don't, call us first.
