While both licensed electricians and handymen can offer a great deal of help around the house, it’s important to understand the difference between the two and use what’s most appropriate for every situation.

Licensed electricians are bonded and insured, which means that you know your property and your safety are completely protected throughout the duration of your project.
A handyman is an affordable solution for DIY projects. They handle small projects and tasks that a homeowner chooses to outsource instead of handling on their own. Most handymen will not have any permitting or formal training, which means you will take full responsibility for any accidents or damage that occurs to your home.

There is no worrying that the project wasn’t performed in accordance with local electric codes. You’ll also be assured you have guarantees on all labor and parts.
