All,
What are the rules in regard to wiring residential homes (other than your own)in Pa, more specifically do you need a license and insurance. I also would like to know how much full time experience you need. I called a local school here and they said that I would need Wiring 1 and a NEC code review since I already have a associates in electronics and almost a bachelors in electrical engineering. He also said that the last 11 years at my current employer would count as the on the job experiece. My current job involves line voltage wiring on a daily basis but it is not really residential (pulling romex thru studs). Last question is there any money in residential wiring on a part time basis?
Short version, if you could answer these questions for me I would really appreciate it:
1. Do you need a license and insurance to wire homes other than your own in Pennsylvania?
2. Have you ever heard of commercial work experience (not that closely resembling residential wiring) counting for the work experience requirements for a license.
3. Is there any money to be made doing residential wiring on a part time basis, or is the overhead cost too much, insurance etc....
Thanks.
