Just noticed the Nexstar boys don't pull permits.... I have no clue how they don't get caught in my area. :rant:

if it bothers you enough you can always rat them out.
Mr. sparky is a franchise. each one owned seperatly. so their affiliation to an orginization has nothing to do with their the managements decision to pull permits or not. if one is required and they don't it is illegal. Mr. Sparky is not a Nexstar member. Nexstar is a service company orginization that helps companies and technicians in business management. It is a good orginization, just pricey. I was a member for a while but it got too expensive to maintain.
I have lost jobs to these guys because they will do panel replacements on a Saturday... no permit and of course no inspection. Homeowners used Sparky so they didn't have to take a weekday off work. I tried to warn the HO about the risks, but they chose the convenience over safety.

Funny how as an inspector, that you notice the guys with the fancy trucks or the big ads are the ones that you see the least of on jobs. We had one here in town that I finally met after being the electrical inspector for 20 years. After that meeting, I tend to see a lot more of him.:happyyes:
To replace a panel doesn't aways require a permit in this area. Depends on where you are working ( which jurisdiction ).
A service upgrade or to move a panel does normally require a permit.
Oh I wouldn't say that, but we do see him at the counter a lot more than we used to.so, you've bonded? that's nice.....

In those jurisdictions you are allowed to pull the meter with no permit or swap a panel hot?
