I would like to perform my own electrical work. Can I pull a permit as a homeowner and not a licensed electrician?
According to Massachusetts Electrical Code, a homeowner may perform electrical work provided that:
- The work being done is residential, not commercial; and
- The person performing the work is the property owner; and
- The person performing the work resides at the property.
- The person performing the work must get prior approval from the Wiring Inspector.
All four of these conditions must be met in order for a homeowner to perform their own electrical work.
