I was reading through the Aug. NC Elect. Contractors newsletter when I found a new hoop that we must jump through. For any one in NC who dose work on well pumps. You must have a D cert. to break the seal on a well to repair or replace a pump. If the pump is above the seal the regulation dose not apply nor would the pressure switch. So if we are to follow the law to replace or repair a submersible pump we must have a permit, have some one (plumber or well drilling contractor) who holds at least a D cert. break the seal, disinfect and reseal the well. It looks as if it would be hard for a electrical contractor to get the cert. due to the 6 mo. experience with a well driller.
Its amazing how many times it has been discussed here about the deficit in charges between plumbers and HVAC versus the electrical contractors. There are electrical codes that only show up in plumbing code but we must know it and install it. We run the HVAC guys down to find out what they are installing and get the spec's. so we can install the correct wiring.
Why is it the ones that have there on code to follow plus keep up with the other trades wind up underpaid?
