Electrical Contractor
Electrical contractors in the State of Ohio are required to be licensed (this goes for several other trades too). This requires documented years of experience, passing an extensive technical exam, an Ohio business law exam, and carrying at least $500,000 of liability insurance. Contractors are also required to complete state approved continuing education requirements on a yearly basis in order to stay abreast of National Electric Code changes and technology. If you hire a non-licensed individual to perform electrical work in your home, you are not guaranteed any of these things. Imagine someone performing electrical work in your home that doesn’t know the most current code requirements, and doesn’t have insurance! It is for this reason that you should ALWAYS hire licensed professionals. Electrical contractors are required by Ohio law to display their license number on all forms of advertising. Blue Star Electric is OH LIC# 46059. You can look this number up at www.ohio.gov and find out if a contractor’s license is active, inactive, suspended, or revoked. (This is true of plumbing and HVAC too.)
