Electrician Licensing is Important to Understand

Electrical problems can not only be perplexing but also very dangerous for people who are not highly trained.

The danger can be twofold;

1. During the troubleshooting / installation / repair process working with wiring systems, devices, and the overall handling of electrical energy.

2. Afterwards when the job is not properly done fires can occur and/or serious injury.

Anyone who performs electrical work in the state of Texas must be properly licensed.

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation defines this in part as:

  • “Any labor or material used in installing, maintaining, or extending an electrical wiring system and the appurtenances, apparatus or equipment used in connection with the use of electrical energy in, on, outside, or attached to a building, residence, structure, property, or premises.”
