Handyman vs licensed electrician
- Handyman fit: replace devices, hang fixtures on existing wiring, GFCI upgrades in place, detectors
- Electrician territory: panel / service upgrades, new circuits, aluminum rework, permitted remodel wiring, anything the building requires under electrical permit
We would rather lose a job than open a panel we should not. That is the safe Miami standard.
