Hi Comisc,

You didn't say what location you are in. The first thing comes to my mind is you home owners policy. CHECK IT. I know here in NC If (God forbid) you did do this work, even in accordance within the LHJ and something went wrong,( Fire ) your insurance is Void.
Sometime we can over look something minute.

Thanks for all the advice. I think I'm just going to find a licensed electrian o do the work so I don't have to worry about voiding my insurance.

Where can I find a reliable electrician that won't put a hole in my wallet around here in chicago?

COMISC;

that is debatable. however, you could help yourself by detailing your electrical needs on a plan.

submit the plan to 2 or 3 reputable electricians, you'll be getting an oranges to oranges estimate.

COMISC,

If you know someone that can recommend an Electrician in your area that's the best way to go. If you don't you can search through our database of 60,000 at:
