growler, There is no state-wide licensing of electricians in Indiana. Local licensing requirements to be a licensed electrical contractor are that an applicant has passed the Block or Experior Master exam. Some are grandfathered in and are licensed for residential work only without proof of passing the master's exam. The EC who did the work in my 2 examples passed the Experior 2 years ago(after 5 attempts)and was issued a local EC license. My point is, a license is no guarantee the holder has any integrity or work ethic. Another master EC last week told an elderly lady she needed a whole new panel installed for $1800.00 because she needed a new 2 pole 30A CB for her A/C and "you can't buy Square D QO anymore". Maybe they need to require a polygraph test to renew a license every year.
