Can a general contractor do electrical work?
I am hiring a general contractor to do some fix-ups around the house. One of the issues is electrical. Can a general contractor do electrical work or do I need to hire someone else?

Good question! While a general contractor can do some basic electrical work, you’ll need an electrician for more complex jobs.
Here are some electrical jobs a general contractor can do:
- Jobs that don’t need a permit
- Installation and replacement of basic switches, circuits, and sockets
- Lightning fittings
More complex work that deals with high voltage, your electrical panels, or work inside your home’s walls should be left to a professional electrician.
Since you’ll be doing work around your home, you’ll want to make sure it’s protected should anything happen. For help ensuring you have the best
